      I was with you until you used a racist slur against people from Mongolia. Seriously, is that fucking necessary?

    I hope not! There's nothing as annoying as downloading a movie to find out it's the french or spanish version. By the way, the very reason many spanish don't *speak* english while they can read and write it perfectly well is because they dub everything (badly, by the way). Watch the english version. It's way more enjoyable anyway.

    "God Lord! Thats over 150 atmospheres of pressure!

    How many atmospheres can the ship withstand, professor?

    Well it's a spacship. So anywhere between 0 and 1."

    I think the number of people in the general population that would get that joke is one reason the series was canceled.

    Maybe Fox will prempt Futurama yet again by slipping some lousy NFL highlights video into the Futurama DVD jacket instead.

    Nah, the reason the series was cancelled was not because so few people got that joke, but that of those that did, 90% of them thought, "That doesn't make any sense. Does he mean Earth atmosphere? Or Jovian? Or Martian?" Did you really just claim to be too nerdy for the jokes from Futurama? Is that overachieving or underachiving?
