Who knows, but 100 cups of coffee causes you to become transcendental as time slows down around you, allowing you to save all your friends from a gigantic spider silk tapestry fire.

I, for one, will be searching the stars tonight using my smelloscope to find new odors to patent.

It's probably for this very reason that in the future they build Madison Cube Gardens

Yet another real-world event predicted by Matt Groening.

Incorrect, I have also measured his comment and found the quote to have come from this man.

One word. Thundercougarfalconbird.

Popup blockers are real popular. Ad blockers aren't. That's because most people are reasonable and understand that ads are necessary to keep the Internet free, or at least very cheap. But if they keep pushing... This applies to the non-virtual world, too (Spider-man on first base). We'll only tolerate so much, even when we accept that much of the world is ad-driven.

Monk #1: "He speaks out of love for his friend. Perhaps that love in his heart is God."
Monk #2: "Oh, how convenient, a theory about God that doesn't require looking through a telescope. Get back to work!"

WELSHIE!

And the advent of the computer & internet didn't exactly help the library system either. As the digital divide slowly closes, libraries will become little more than free (as in speech and beer) cybercafes, and museums for deadtree books and other old media.

Ahh... I can't resist a Futurama reference :)

Thanks to its incredibly generous benefactors - the Wong Dynasty - Mars University owns the largest collection of literature in the universe. The collection is kept at the Wong library on two discs: Fiction and Non-Fiction.

...only a true geek would name their cat after the greatest inventor of all time. i smell a plan afoot.

I think Fry has the best review of what it probably tastes like: "What's the worst thing that can happen... ewww, it's like a party in my mouth and everyone is throwing up."

SETI says 2020, so now we have a new Internet deadline to watch. I bet they strike gold next year sometime or the year after. And when they do, I bet the Aliens look like giant chickens and they kick our asses for KFC.

Nichelle Nichols: "It's about that rip in space-time that you saw!"
Stephen Hawking: "I call it a Hawking Hole."
Fry: "No fair! I saw it first!"
Stephen Hawking: "Who is the Journal of Quantum Physics going to believe?"

(And then here's the MP3 of this great quote.)

Wow, that sort of technology must be from a million years in the future!

You are now dead. Thank you for using Stop'n'Drop. America's favorite suicide booth since 2008.

Professor: "Back then you see, robots were slow moving, stiff and a little on the uptight side!"
Robot: "Oh dear, might I favor master with a tender kiss on the forehead?"

Nibblonian 1: "It's a genetic abnormality which resulted when you went back in time and performed certain actions which made you your own grandfather."

Fry: "I did do the nasty in the pasty!"

Nibblonian 2: "Verily. And that past nastification is what shields you from the brains. You are the last hope of the universe."

Fry: "So, I really am important? How I feel when I'm drunk is correct?"

Nibblonian 1: "Yes. Except the Dave Matthews Band doesn't rock."

No that would be Popplers are people too from the greatest hard sci-fi ever made. Might even be coming back

It's not so much taken out of context as it is misattributed. My sig. is from Futurama (#12). No, it's not an honest quotation, but then the person it's attributed to isn't a very honest person, and that's pretty much the point.

Hmmm... 'misattribution' is such an ugly word. I prefer 'slander'.

... that all Dark Matter comes from the feces of the Nibblonians. Each pound of which weights over ten thousand pounds. Therefore, if there is this much Dark Matter, Dark Energy must exist to cause the expansion of the universe.

I only heard that Enterprise might not be renewed a few days ago, and it really wouldn't surprise me if it had been cancelled. With the likes of Crusade, Futurama and Legend of The Rangers, it often seems like only 'lowest common denominator' shows can keep the interest of the big networks. If you like a show which requires an attention span longer than 12 minutes, or - god forbid - 12 IQ points, it's going to have an uncertain future. Don't get too attached to the characters.

Hey! There are parts of the bible I like, and parts I don't like!

Finally, something we humans can beat machines at!

I think he might pose a challenge.

Futurama was on of the best TV shows. You can go wrong with repeats - And of course you can get all the information you can handle at gotfuturama.com.

Lrrr: "Interesting. The trousers conceal a tiny secondary horn."
Fry: "Hey, what've you heard?"
Lrrr: "Guards, seize him! Prepare to harvest the lower horn."

No, seriously. It's incredible. You can catch it in syndication or on the 1st-Season DVD. It's a huge but short space battle with some incredible animation, both hand-drawn and CGI. Plus, it's led by the immortal Zap Brannigan.

Great! Let's do this with all our radioactive waste, then. And if it does 'come back to haunt us' we have that epsiode of Futurama to show us what to do.

• Sorry, you aren't allowed to access that. The webmasters were notified about this

does not compute.

... that tech support can be done so well with the voice of Kif.

And here I thought NASA had technology to take care of this remotely.

Maybe NASA will make up for it by picking up some Popplers for us on the way home.

"Go feed your lion some tofu" is a reference to Futurama. One of the people protesting with Leela is a hippy who taught his lion to eat tofu.

I have never mistakenly put my digital watch on upside down

Then you aren't Professor Hubert Farnsworth.

(Specifically in the episode 1ACV08 "A Big Piece of Garbage".)

"Sleep, little dumpling. I have replaced your mother."

Sounds like an episode of Futurama. Except they use boxes instead of spheres ;-)

Sorry, I accidentally hit Submit instead of Preview. Here's another story on topic. (Please don't troll, it's an unmoderated forum.) The question is, why does Fox consider a return of Family Guy, a show about an average drunk Joe "General Public" Sixpack family, instead of the best science fiction show ever invented? Don't they want the support of intelligent geek/nerd/Slashdot community anymore? I don't understand. Could some "insider" comment on this issue?

Todd

Yeah? So? Where are the facts? It's hardly descriptive. This is really one of those `What-If?' things. They should have just used the What If Machine.

What if SCO wins?
What if Microsoft takes over Google?
What if Gore won the election?
What if Einstein wouldn't have been born?
What if Linus was killed in a car crash?
What if RMS was sane?
What if the French won the war?
What if Bender was really giant?
What if life was more like a video game?

Does it matter?

Wasn't this already patented/invented by Professor Hubert J Farnsworth?
