Talk:Möbius Dick

Episode Title
Mobius Dick is also a 2004 novel by Andrew Crumey. 

Ships in the Graveyard
I love the ships in the Graveyard - but can't identify them all. The BEST obscure ship has to be the last one - from "Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space"! I also recognize the "Jupiter" from "Lost in Space" - what are some of the others?

There's also the ELO space-ship used in album art of A New World Record, Out of The Blue, Discovery (Disco-Very)

There was an Oceanic ship.. I believe it to be a reference to LOST series, a series done by ABC Family. I am not sure, though. :3

Blonde guy?
Who were all the other people who came out of the 4D bowel at the end? I recognized Dr. Who but not the other two.

Allusions
"Möbius Dick is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean? and the title of a 2000 novel by ."

Because they refer to two separate facts, they should have separate bullet points. Not only that, the puzzle solution and the novel don't even have the same titles. "Möbius Dick" (puzzle, with umlaut) and "Mobius Dick" (novel, without). -- DeepSpaceHomer 17:06, 5 August 2011 (CEST)

But they are similar titles, and both bullet points have the same concept, and start out the SAME EXACT WAY. I do not know what your problem is with compound sentences. This is basically what you want


 * I am a bird
 * I am a person

This is what I want

Now do you see what I'm trying to do? --Icyweaner2999 17:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)
 * I am a bird and a person
 * Only one of the above things is "Möbius Dick", the other is not. It's a bit pedantic, yes, but similarity does not equal sameness.  Different titles should mean separate facts. -- DeepSpaceHomer 17:25, 5 August 2011 (CEST)

So you're separating it all because of an umlaut? No way--Icyweaner2999 18:58, 5 August 2011 (CEST)


 * Two bullet points make it easier to read than combining them into one. --Sviptalk 19:03, 5 August 2011 (CEST)

Getting to the point is easier to read than unnecessarily expanding the article because of a single umlaut--Icyweaner2999 19:10, 5 August 2011 (CEST)


 * I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about two different allusions might be easier to overlook if they are separated. After all, we are writing a bullet list, not prose. --Sviptalk 19:37, 5 August 2011 (CEST)

Yes you are talking about the umlaut. It's what literally forced you to make them bulleted separately when the points are the exact same idea--Icyweaner2999 19:52, 5 August 2011 (CEST)


 * Don't go visiting my intentions. I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about them being two different works. --Sviptalk 20:05, 5 August 2011 (CEST)

Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets--Icyweaner2999 20:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)


 * The umlaut is only important in the sense that they are different from one another, which is the point I was trying to make originally. They are two separate works, each deserving of it's own line of trivia. -- DeepSpaceHomer 20:11, 5 August 2011 (CEST)

I agree with Icy, rhus it's not community consensus, and just because it was 2 to 1 doesn't make it community consensus--174.255.112.29

Joke or Goof?
Not sure if this is an intended joke or goof when the space whale gets harpooned and yanks the ship. Bender is the first person to hit the wall and then disappears behind the other characters piling on the wall. Then Bender hits the last person to pile on the wall.
