Eye in the garbage can
Don't add it. Seriously. It's been added and deleted several times from this page. Nibbler's eye doesn't appear in the garbage can until Jurassic Bark. Simple as that. Don't add it.

Flying saucers destroying New York

Man #2
Is it just me or does the guy who says "Pft! Tourist!" after Fry flies out of the tubeline sound a lot like Hank Azaria doing Carl Carlson's voice? I can't find anything to confirm this, but it sounds so much like him. Can anyone confirm this? --dotDarkCloud 17:29, 23 June 2008 (CEST)
 * Hm, I cannot find any confirmation. There is no credit on this character at all.  Neither is it mentioned in the commentary, so my guess would be no. --SvipTalk 17:45, 23 June 2008 (CEST)

Cold opening
An idea I had touched months prior, and am now finally trying it out, I call it the cold opening of an article, similar to those on the show. The idea is that these episode articles start rather "rough", navigation, infobox and plot. No introduction. Sure, straight to the point is nice, but a short introduction, explaining the significances of an episode, a quite recap of its plot and mentions of its guest stars. I am opening this discussion for opinions. --SvipTalk 23:12, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

1000 years being less than 1000 years
Let me explain. How long is a year? 365 days? I don't think so. 365.25 days? That's better, but still not there. Leap days (every fourth year, unless that year is dividable by 100, but not if it is also dividable with 400) was originally created to take care of that problem. Problem is, that even with these fixes, the year remains somewhat off. So, they made leap seconds, every year, when appropriate, an additional second is added to the year. It may not seem like much, but it will actually make sure that the year cycles does not go out of hand.

But, a thing like a countdown on the freezer-tube, may take care of the leap days problem, but not the leap second issue. Thus, by a thousand years, the lack of increment every year for the countdown have left it half a day behind. There are some more precise calculations on this issue, but I couldn't find them. --SvipTalk 22:34, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
