You've got two different Futurama episodes mashed together there. Seriously, do yourself a favor and brush up on our religious texts.

And before it, the The Scary Door

A lot of the thread is centered around an episode of Futurama

You say Sunni, I say Shia,

It's actually not a bad idea if you want a little inflation, and there are cases where you'd want it. This is Friedman's "helicopter money", where a central bank increases the money supply by giving every person a bit of cash, instead of the usual quantitive easing where they buy government securities. The idea behind this method is that it turns out that money generated through QE doesn't make its way into the real economy all that quickly, where it is expected that a one-off payment to citizens will (even if they decide to save or invest most of it). It was actually briefly considered in Europe, but naturally the banks oppose it since it means the helicopter will not be flying over their lawn anymore,and thus Draghi (president of the ECB and former Goldman Sachs exec) is never going to allow it.

Of course it wouldn't be a million but perhaps $1000 or a $300 Tricky Dick Fun Bill.

Look at how wrong you are, brother.

You know, you could actually be right about that. There is a resemblance.

I don't know any of those Jack Johnsons. The only one I know is the Futurama Presidential candidate Jack Johnson who ran against his rival and clone, John Jackson.

Sure, your stuff is safe, don't worry.

The vents would be shutters that could be opened and closed rapidly, so you're always pulling air from the front of the train and introducing it behind the train.

And then you just do away with the train.

At this point they should just call them the tastycrats and fingerlickans, and have the candidates be clones named Jack Johnson and John Jackson. http://theinfosphere.org/A_Hea...

I understand that a Greenpeace boat got in the way...

Can we call it the Big Brain instead?

Banjo is for robots.

Although we are technically in New Jersey...

Maybe we could give them clamps instead?

Ha HAH!.

Like this?

Oblig: However, by 2620, scientists finally got tired of that "stupid joke", so they renamed Uranus to Urectum, believing the revised name to be much less funny.

Oh. God. No. http://theinfosphere.org/images/2/29/Robo_Nixon.png

Futurama is brilliant, especially when pitted against the.brain dead "Ow my balls" class of reality of television.

The new seasons had excellent character growth and development. While the original series was great, it was childish and down right infantile at times, the movies were awkward like the teenage years, and the two new seasons were the beginning of a quality adult audience show. It is one of the ONLY animated shows on television at the moment that caters specifically to the 18-25 demographic, and it's smart too. Take the mathematical proof they created for the show. When was the last time any television show created a tangible real world theorem?

It seems the operators of the Panama Wormhole, Earth's Comedy Central channel for shipping, are making the same fateful mistake as the idiots at the Box Network.

At least, eventually, we'll harshly deal with the Trekker problem.

All hail Space Pope!

It seems to me that this is just a few more minor discoveries away from Amy's talking tattoo. I mean, the medical applications may be important and all, but come on; I'm sure everyone here knows that practicality isn't really what drives innovation...

I loved Futurama's return after being cancelled. They were quite blatant with the insults against Fox.

Futurama had comic + motion + sound effects* in Fry's Delivery-Boy Man.

* (well, not "good" sound effects)

I could imagine an Apple under Woz turning out much the same way as the Bell Labs story: Lots of world-changing technology, very little profit.

Jobs and Woz needed each other to make Apple a reality. Jobs needed Woz to have really cool products to sell early on - without Woz, he either would have ended up yet another commune-dwelling hippie, or maybe yet another marketing jerk in a suit (like That Guy in Futurama). Woz needed Jobs to go independent and sell his stuff on a mass scale - without Jobs, he'd probably be happily designing stuff for HP or some other big firm and playing with hardware tinkering and open-source software in his spare time.

Oh wait... this isn't just another excuse not to curb our burning of fossil fuels is it?

So what! Pollute away and call the extra week in each year Robot Party Week.

Bender doing this should not be a surprise, after all he already messed up the presidential election of 2000 by going back in time and getting Bush elected instead of Gore Act VI, he was probably did this as a lark at the same time. Given Bender's innate robotics skills, there is no doubt he could have done this.

What about the Land Titanic?

Need to go to Mars for that.

Oh, so they've located Amazonia?

Glagnar's Human Rinds. Now with flavor.

the only thing that could be considered "news" was that there was a woman willing to put up with his robo-bullshit

As the right honorable Reverend Lionel Preacherbot said:

The bride has written some vows that we will now all pretend to be interested in.

She's probably just looking forward to boring the shit out of the 'people gathered here today' with her inane vows.

Doesn't the shuttle basically pilot itself at this point? Then again, I suppose you have a whole different sort of issues if your autopilot starts drinking...

From what I hear the pilots have a lot to do on landing and you would not them to be too distracted during their no-power, one-pass-only, dead-stick landing.

(BTW, I have found that telling pilots who have to train for years to fly something that it "basically pilots itself" is not a good conversation starter.)
