Bah! Humbug.
Well, I suppose if Leela gets cold her nipples will poke out through that little tank top. And that's something everyone can enjoy.

A cold room, naked. With one double-sized sleeping bag that can't be unzipped to a blanket configuration. Saturated with pheromones.
But the sex part is easy...how do we keep Leela from rationalizing her emotions away in the morning?

Posted By coldangel_1: EDIT: if you were to increase the speed of light you would also have to uniformly increase the various wavelengths of the electro-magnetic spectrum if you wanted to avoid being turned into a human fritter.
That would be correct. By increasing the speed of light you also increase it's electromagnetic frequency and therefore it's energy content. But, like you said, if you increase the wavelength proportionally then the frequency would remain the same and so would it's electromagnetic energy and nobody would have to be fried by lethal doses of radiation. Posted By coldangel_1: Yeah, but if Farnsworth was telling the truth in Clone of my own then light's universal speed was increased across the board. I argue that this is impossible without deep frying all organic life forms in their own juices.
You answered how you could accomplish this without frying everyone in your previous post. If they could increase the speed of light then why wouldn't it be plausible that they could also increase its wavelength and thus avoid frying everyone? Also, the writers claim in several commentaries that it was their intention to have the speed of light increased in the future. They thought it would be more interesting than resorting to the usual "warp drive" cop out. I hate using this card but if it was the intention of the writers then it can't just be written off as a joke on the professor's part and it's up to us to reconcile it with the laws of physics. Posted By jle1993: DAMN YOU ALL, this is a shippy thread, for shippers to talk about shippy things, hence the tittle! Stop confusing me with your science and discuss the good things in life, mainly Fry and Leela
But this is shippy. We're determining whether Leela could still spot Fry's love letter with a telescope from Earth.

Hello, i thought i'd try and shed some light on Fry and Leela's relationship. Now im no psycologist, but I believe Fry has a 7 type personality while Leela has a 3 type:
This is taken from the enneagram institute To this mix, Threes bring sensitivity to people and how to communicate with them, a sense of propriety, appropriateness, and social conventions, as well as the ability to focus on goals and get them accomplished. Sevens bring a sense of fun and adventure, resilience, and not being overly concerned with failure. Sevens can be spontaneous in ways that are helpful to more self-conscious Threes. Sevens bring breadth of knowledge and experience, boundless enthusiasm and good spirits. Threes bring a focus on goals, on staying practical and grounded, and on observing healthy limits. This can be a fun, articulate, generous pair, virtually sparkling with vitality and the joy of life. This can sometimes seem to others to be an almost magical couple.
Potential Trouble Spots or Issues This is also an extremely volatile couple: there is almost too much electricity under one roof. A Three/Seven pair always looks like a great couple, but this can also mean having to live up their own hype. They can be exhausting to keep up with and their mutual qualities make it difficult to admit to or look at problems. They both feel the pressure to be "fabulous" and perfect all of the time. Both types seem light-hearted, and unconcerned; yet, in their high-energy routines they often hurt each others without realizing it. Often this results in a backlog of past hurts that have been suppressed until it is too late and too much damage has been done.
Depending on their Level of health, Threes can become workaholics, completely focused on achieving success, building more prestige, and planning career moves with the care of a general, so much so that relationship and family life takes a distinct second place, if that. By contrast, Sevens tend not to take their career as seriously as Threes, always feeling that if things do not go well in one job they can move to something better. On the surface, Threes seem to have as much self-confidence as Sevens; in reality, they do not, which is why they feel they need to promote themselves and their accomplishments. Threes may be envious of the easy success of Sevens, while Sevens may feel that too much fun and enjoyment is being sacrificed for the Three's focus on career. Sevens may get the feeling that they only exist to prop up the Three in various ways. Neither type wants to talk about their shortcomings, failures, or negative feelings and so these topics tend to be avoided for as long as possible. Often either a health or career crisis will bring things to the surface: Sevens do not want to be trapped in a relationship that is no longer enjoyable, Threes do not want to be in a relationship that has failed. Once they doubt that the other is there for them, they turn toward self-centered attitudes which further erode the relationship. A break can come abruptly and be permanent.

The parallel universe isn't the only continuity error. In one episode Fry "invents" the wheel, which none of the other PE crew have even heard of. And in the commentary, I think it was David X Cohen that said that after that episode aired they got sent a list by a Futurama fan with a whole bunch of previous wheel references on the show. Would the writers have added the "cowboy hate wearing universe" joke in if they knew they would be introducing the other universes in a later episode? you'd think someone would've bothered taking a picture of it or something Some alien probably did! Hmmm.... Although, I personally would find it a bit cheesy if Leela did ever see the message. It would ruin the ending of TKOS, which, though a bit depressing, I felt was perfect. EDIT: Hey, I found a wheel! Four actually, without looking hard at all!

The number of parallel universes wasn't an error because Farnsworth actually *created* the other parallel universes when he made the box.
Btw - this is my first post on my new computer. I'm still in thr process of installing everything.

I could be wrong, but I think the term was first coined on X-Files forums back in the early to mid 90s in discussions re: the Mulder/Scully relationship. And yes, Relationship = 'ship = shippy.
My new computer is awesome. I just got through trasferring data over from my old hard drive. My old pc had a heart attack, and then I put my fist through it.

Yes, well I'm out $700. I only got it 'cause my old one died. I was planning to upgrade *eventually*, but not at this time. Yet my hand was forced. All I can do to try to recoup is cannibalize components from the old one and try to flog them on eBay. Anyone want a hard drive? It's full of porn. I'm just happy I was able to get my new one on the same day my old one died. This is one of the rare instances where capitalism actually worked for the betterment of someone, but just don't tell my buddies in the Communist Party I said that 'cause they'd kick me out. Pentium 4 is yummy... Anywho... Watched Luck of the Fryish today. It's not really a shippy ep I know, but I did notice a few things. At the racetrack, although she rolls her eye as a force of habit, Leela doesn't hesistat to give Fry a kiss for good luck. She also seems to jump at the chance to help him find his clover when he asks her, the enthusiasm to go clambering around in the ruins of Old New York looking for something a sensible person like her would consider to be a silly superstitious piece of junk would be uncharacteristic if she didn't feel close to Fry. Also, she was very sensitive at the end in giving him a moment alone at the gravesite.

Posted By fryandlemon: The increasing of the speed of light could have just been a joke. It's funny because it's just so ridiculous.
Within the context of the show you could be right, Farnsworth only mentions it once, though he's usually correct when it comes to historical facts; however.... In multiple commentaries the writers clearly state that the speed of light has been increased by the year 3000. If you don't believe me, listen to the commentary for the episode "When Aliens Attack." David X Cohen mentions how they discussed the idea of "old" light and "new" light and whether light created before the speed of light was increased would have sped up. They decided no, that the "old" light would retain the old lightspeed and "new" light would have the new lightspeed, which is why the broadcast of "Single Female Lawyer" still took a thousand years to reach the Omicronians. [Lrr]LISTEN TO THE COMMENTARY!!!![/Lrr} Just Sayin'.

It's......... insane. :| So there are EM waves occupying the Universe that are following two completely different Universal Constants. Gahh!! Gazzzzznh! Ugh... damn, I just... a part of my brain actually literally just caught fire.

I'm just flabbergasted that a lighthearted half-hour comedy animation would have scientific inaccuracies. What's the world coming to?
Oh well. Poor Fry, he didn't get any tongue luck.

Well thats what you get when half your writing staff has advanced degrees in physics. For the record, I have no idea how they could increase the speed of light and have everything work out, it's just that it is a fact of life within the Futurama Universe. @jle1993: They would not be able to see the message. The light from Fry's message would travel at the "increased" speed of light back to Earth, but since the PE ship cannot travel faster than the speed of light, they would not be able to return to Earth and view the message. Think of it as a race and that the light from Fry's message would beat them back to Earth. Posted By coldangel_1 It's......... insane. :| So there are EM waves occupying the Universe that are following two completely different Universal Constants. Gahh!! Gazzzzznh! Ugh... damn, I just... a part of my brain actually literally just caught fire.
That made me laugh so hard my coworker sitting next to me gave me a look. I know it doesn't seem to make any sense, but it is fun trying to puzzle out ways that it could work and still fit within our knowledge of physics.
