This is one of the most complicated things for us who have brains the size of peanuts! First of all, SCREW THE STUPID THEORY NAMES! I find that it makes them more confusing! Now according to the iZac theory, I mean the one that was first said  , Leela wouldn't have found Nibbler. That doesn't explain why Nibbler's shadow was in the twentieth century! Unless maybe the planet Nibbler was from progressed at an extremely fast speed, meaning it was around in the twentieth! Maybe Nibbler's age of five was inaccurate and he somehow was 1005! And there was a worm-hole when fry was tipping back on his chair, when you see Nibbler's shadow, which comes out of the worm hole! Maybe the wormhole appeared because there was some kind of override in the center of Nibbler's planet due to all the dark matter inside! Or, maybe the shadow was Nibbler's great, great, great, great, great.... grandfather's shadow, who was looking in the worm-hole also! My god, I've gone cross-eyed!

Sorry!  But do you guys think that it is possible? I am re-watching the episode, maybe it wasn't meant to be Nibbler's shadow!

After carefully watching it, as well as the end of Anthology of Interest 1, I see that there was nothing shown that could create the shadow, and it looks a lot like Nibbler's. However, why wasn't it in Anthology of Interest 1? They drew it out! It had to have been drawn origionaly on purpose! Maybe Anthology of Interest 2 will explain all of this!

Maybe the background painter just put that in to make it look more shadowy. But then after visiting all these fansites and thinking, "Oh, my, god! What kind of conspiricy [sp?] have I created here?!" took it out.

After examining Nibbler's shadow more thorowly, I created the Poppler Theory. That shadow may not have been Nibbler's. Yes, most of it looks like him, but where is his cape? I think it COULD be like a vase, or clay pot or something. Then again, why'd they get rid of it in Anthology of Interest I? Must be a reason.

It's not too easy to "forget" something, when you recycle material in a new episode, at least not in an animated series. IMHO the person that's responsible for such things heard about the "Nibbler Y2K-Problem" (another theory name, year  ) and removed the shadow from the scene. That's not very complicated when they created the scene on the computer.

OK, I think after "The Day The Earth Stood Stupid," it's pretty obvious.
A member of Nibbler's race (probably not Nibbler himself) pushed Fry into the chamber to make sure the one man who could resist the brain swarm would be around when the brain swarm showed up on Earth.
Why doesn't the shadow appear in Anthology? Well, the simplest way to see what would happen if Fry hadn't fallen into the chamber is to see what would happen if the Nibblonian hadn't been around to push him.
Why does only Fry's what-if cause a rip in the space-time continuum? The Nibblonians, who are older than the space-time continuum itself, have wanted Fry to fall into the chamber since shortly after time began, so to prevent that could require not just changing the past in the year 2000, but changing the past in the year -15billion or so.
Or maybe it's just the fact that Fry is the only one who wants to change something that happened in the past; the other changes could all be in the present/future (or at least the very near past).
The biggest "what-if" question, which would be in Anthology II if I were writing it: If Futurama had a better time slot and more people saw how important Al Gore was, would that have affected the election? The answer: Of course not; Gore would have gotten an even larger majority, but Bush would still have been appointed president anyway, and the controversy would have been even bigger and caused us to miss even more Futurama.
So we should be thankful for the crappy 7pm timeslot.
