That is not an urban legend. Kennedy technically did call himself a jelly filled pastry, but people understood what he meant since it wasn't an obvious error to people who don't speak German. The correct way to say "I am a Berliner" is "Ich bin Berliner." The "a" or "an" is implied when stating that you are a citizen of a particular place. It is a minor error, and most people will still understand the intent of the sentence.
Futurama's first episode aired after The Simpsons, but the show moved to Tuesdays at 8:30 after that. The second season moved back to Sundays at 8:30, only to be preempted for about a month and moved to Sundays at 7:00. Fox recently aired repeats of Futurama on Thursdays at 9:30, but was removed after three weeks.
I find it interesting that Fox is so eager to cancell series created by the same people who made their hit shows.
I'm kind of glad they didn't fix any of the errors. It really adds to the campy feel of the series and illustrates how far american animation has come since then.
Rhino actually introduced a few new errors in the remastering process. A lot of the original 35mm prints were in poor condition, forcing Rhino to use work prints that occasionally contained errors.
There should be enough action animation for a Toonami channel, asssuming that we ignore the bizarre notion that only anime should be on Toonami. If CN could reacquire the rights to every series that has ever aired on Toonami we would have Voltron, Robotech, Thundercats, Batman, Superman, Batman Beyond, Reboot, Beast Wars, The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest, Dragonball Z, Dragonball, several Gundam series, Outlaw Star, The Big O, the Tenchi series, Sailor Moon, and the campy Hannah-Barbera action shorts. Acquiring the rights to series that have aired on Kids WB would add Men in Black, The Jackie Chan Adventures, and X-Men Evolution. The lineup could be expanded further by purchasing the rights to series like Transformers and GI Joe.
The only thing that ATI contributed to the design of the Gamecube is the logo on the front of the box. ArtX designed flipper, but was bought by ATI after the chip was finished.
None of the characters that first appeared in the cartoon were available in the live action version of the series because several different companies owned the rights to them and couldn't agree on licensing fees for using the characters. That is also why American Maid became Captain Liberty and Dir Fliedermaus became Batmanuel.
Young Link's target test is fairly easy once you figure out how to use his wall jump. Tilt the control stick away from the wall as Young Link touches it and he should do a wall jump. The timing can be a bit tricky, so it will take some practice.
I agree that SSB2 is the best thing since SSB1 (the Mario Party games suck eggs), but unlocking half the hidden stuff requires unlocking all the hidden characters, and one of the characters requires playing 1,000 Vs. matches at 5 minutes a piece. Is this just a way to get players to buy more controllers when they wear out?
Which character would that be? The only one that requires playing in versus mode for an extended period of time is Mewtwo. Mr. Game & Watch can be unlocked by beating classic mode, adventure more, or target test with all of the other twenty-four characters.

Wouldn't Astrotrain be a better choice for such a task? One of his altmodes is a space shuttle and he doesn't suffer from violent mood swings.
There's one small, but important detail that you got wrong. The GameCube's graphics chip was designed by ArtX, which was later bought by ATI. Flipper was finished before ATI purchased ArtX- ATI just took the opportunity to add its logo to the GameCube.
What do you mean useless? The machine is designed to play games and it does that quite well because that is all it does. So, Nintendo went with a three inch disc that holds 1.5 GB, big deal. How many developers for the PS2 and Xbox have actually filled a DVD to capacity for a single game? There's nothing lame about Nintendo's chosen format, and assuming that the games will suck solely because they are on a smaller medium is like saying that "The Telltale Heart" sucks because it is printed on fewer pages than "It" or "The Stand."
The differences in capacity between Nintendo's 1.58 GB disc and a DVD really only matter in terms of how much FMV each can hold, and even then the discs are swappable. The GCN, PS2, and Xbox are all capable of producing graphics in real-time that are nearly equal to prerendered video, and use a fraction of the space. Most PS2 developers haven't had a need to use more than one DVD and probably won't unless they get FMV happy like Square.
Sadly, Panasonic currently has no plans for releasing their GCN/DVD player hybrid in the US. That may change if the machine sells well in Japan and Panasonic sees a demand for it in the US, but it doesn't seem likely at this time.
Stark isn't the best example of a character that died. He has a weird ability to communicate with and resurrect the dead, but only under special circumstances. He was only able to resurrect Rygel because the vines healed the physical wounds.
I have no explanation for Durka. His presence in the second season served no purpose whatsoever.
The cooling rod wasn't in Scorpy's head when it exploded. He can survive without the rod for a short period of time. The last shot of him in the episode is of his hand reaching for the new rod.
I could have sworn that Zhaan said that Maldus might be able to return after their first encounter.
Crais made a deal with Xhalax for a very good reason. If someone didn't tell Peacekeeper Command that Talyn and crew were dead then more retrieval squads would have been dispatched.
Zhaan is dead and won't be returning any time soon. Virginia Hey left the show because she couldn't tolerate the makeup any longer and had moved to America. The writers added the bit about Zhaan contacting Stark from beyond the grave because Paul Goddard had a commitment to the theater that coincided with Farscape's Shooting schedule. Stark wasn't even meant to be more than a minor character until Virginia Hey decided to leave the show.
Chrichton wasn't just frozen in carbonite in "Look at the Princess," his entire body was converted to a different substance. He technically didn't die because he was a statue when his head was removed. The techonolgy that made him a statue had to be robust enough to compensate for reattached or damaged body parts; a lot can happen in 500 cycles.
I also have no explanation for why the doctor survived the first time. Grundshclik made it very clear that the doctor would suffocate if dust particles entered two nostrils at the same time. The Scaran didn't just breathe on the doctor; he used his heat breath.
The Tavlek guard may have choked Rygel to the point where the Hynerian passed out, but squid boy resuscitated him before any significant brain damage occurred.
Two completely unexplained instances of someone not staying dead and a few with extenuating circumstances that were often little more than someone saying, "By the way, you were dead, but I revived you," isn't bad.
What's so wrong with using animatronics designed by the Jim Henson Company? Most of them are more lifelike than the real actors in the wasteland of broadcast TV. All of the actors have shown that they are quite talented. Just watch episodes like "Won't Get Fooled Again," "The Way We Weren't," "Infinite Possibilities, Part 2: Icarus Abides," "A Human Reaction," "Green Eyed Monster," "Incubator," "Crackers Don't Matter," "Die Me, Dichotomy," and "They've Got a Secret" with an open mind and you will be pleasantly surprised by the acting.
Science runs rampant throughout the series, but in a subtle and nontechnical manner: Zhaan is a plant, wormholes can be used for travel or as weapons, Leviathans are biomechanoids that operate on cesium-based fuel, require a pilot to regulate functions for passengers, and utilize a trans-dimensional jump for movement and defense. None of these things are explained in detail for a reason- the explanations are unimportant and often lead to an overabundance of technobabble.
I take it you haven't seen several episodes in the third season, which doesn't end until January. Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan is dead for good (the actress who played her left the show) and one of the two John Crichtons died. Crichton was duplicated in the episode "Eat Me," with each copy eventually traveling on different ships while attempting to evade the Peacekeepers. The only character that was ever truly resurected was Aeryn Sun, but the process proved quite detrimental to Zhaan's health. All of the other characters only died in the sense that some hospital patients may die and be resuscitated while undergoing an operation.

The song from the end of the cathedral scene is titled "Green Bird."
That is not an urban legend. Kennedy technically did call himself a jelly filled pastry, but people understood what he meant since it wasn't an obvious error to people who don't speak German.

It is a minor error, and most people will still understand the intent of the sentence.
Krusty did host the Krusty Komedy Klassic, but noticed the problem partway through his opening monologue.

I'd rather use Mr. Fusion.

Does that mean that Gates will insist on a recount when he finds Mirosoft's OS marketshare slipping?
No, the Keymaster gets Sigourney Weaver.
Mmmm... Anarchists.
