== [http://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Birthday&curid=2225&diff=102620&oldid=102606 Birthday] ==<br />
<br />
Why did you remove the sections from the article? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 20:07, 4 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:It seemed that the "Appearances" section under "The Birthday Song" section was useless, because the appearances of the song were noted in the section below it (Additional Info). Please feel free to change back to the former version if I am wrong, but please explain to me why, so that I can further help this great wiki. - [[User:Barder2000|Barder2000]] 20:19, 4 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Those were only noted as being the appearances of birthdays, not the appearances of the song. Obviously, notes explaining that they are the appearances of both could be added, but, in my opinion, that would just make things confusing, when there is actually no need and we can be left with a clean article-in-an-article.<br />
::I am going to undo your edit. Thank you for being so cooperative. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 21:13, 4 October 2011 (CEST)<br />

== Images ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for fixing the image for [[Nosy Inquirer]]. That was really helpful to the article. There are, however, a few other images not displaying (all of them on my user page). [[user:Quolnok|Quolnok]] found a solution to a couple of them, but he said that it was tedious to do for all of the images. Could you go over to [[User Talk:Quolnok|his talk page]] and see if your solution is the same as his? If your solution is faster or less tedious, it would really benefit everyone. Thank you!

<div>If you move your eyes up a few centimeters, you'll see my name. Yes, that really is my name. My parents named me after an awesome character. (No, not really. Sadly.) I am also on TvTropes [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage], although I edit here a lot more often. Here's a list of articles I've created, not including categories because I've got to do something with this space, dammit! In the parenthesis after the article name are either things I'm bragging about or (much more frequently) ways that you can help improve the article.<br />
<br />

*[[3011 Young People's Choice Awards]]<br />
<br />
Other noteworthy stuff:<br />
<br />
Recently, there were tons of images that weren't properly categorized into whatever episode they belonged to. Well, there still are, but a lot less. I categorized over 80 previously uncategorized images making [[The Infosphere]] easier for [[Nerdy teens|editors]].<br />

A while ago, an admin (I can't remember who) removed spotlight from the main page, with the reasoning that since new episodes are premiering, we should focus on the articles for that episode instead of spotlight. This makes perfect sense. However, it's been quite a while since the last new episode aired, and we still don't have spotlight. I can't do anything about it, but can anyone else?

==I want to upload files, but how??==<br />
<br />
Hi there! Being an administrator, I hope that you can help me. Basically, I want to be an autoconfirmed user to be able to upload files and contribute to this wiki, but I have no idea how. What should I do? Thank you!<br />
:Autoconfirmed should happen in a few days time. Until then, you can still edit most pages. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 11:03, 23 September 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Hi there! It´s been 3 days since the last message and still nothing! I mean, WHY? I´m a member of the official wikipedia and also the lostpedia and I never had this problem...<br />
:Actually, it's been 26 hours, although I don't doubt this being on a three day period in your timezone. It is set to four days (96 hours) if I recall correctly. You probably would have encountered this on wikipedia if you tried to upload an image in the first couple of days. It's a fairly standard thing for mediawikis these days. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 12:13, 24 September 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Like to?==<br />
Would you like to sign up for this site? It is normal wiki thing like MediaWiki. URL <tt>[http://wikifuturama.wiki-site.com] --[[User:Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender Bending Rodr&iacute;guez]] 12:30, 3 December 2006 (PST)</tt> <!--Gah! open tags! - Quolnok --><br />

"This user is on break" is the greatest thing I ever saw! I was thinking of boring stuff like proficiency in AL1/AL2 and how many episodes you can name (I can name them all within five seconds of starting. If I memorized the title captions, I'd be faster.) --{{User:Buddy13/sig}} 19:56, 3 December 2006 (PST)<br />
:Thanks. I was hoping to have a few more along the lines of that one. Also, I can't believe I didn't do the AL1/AL2 boxes, those are the ones Dagpile was trying on his userpage. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 21:39, 3 December 2006 (PST)<br />

== Congratulations and... newbie mistake==<br />
<br />
I'd like to congratulate you all for making this interesting site. And, errr, I want to seize the opportunity to say that I have made a newbie mistake: I have made an article for [Glagnar's Human Rinds] but I didn't realize that this information is included in [[Sponsors]] (oops, sorry). I have partially fixed the mistake and now there isn't any article linking it, so it might be erased, and the image Glagnars.jpg too. Sorry and thanks.

:I'm sure everyone here's pleased to be helping to provide a useful website, particularly [[User:Buddy13|Buddy]], who created it. As for the mistake, everyone's entitled to a few.

== Replacing image logo ==<br />
<br />
Do you know how to put a logo on a wiki using the image replacing way? What is the image replacing way? --[[User:Electricbolt|Electricbolt]] 12:07, 31 December 2006 (PST)<br />
:You'd need to find where the image was uploaded first, then upload a new image with the same name over the top of it. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 18:29, 31 December 2006 (PST)<br />
<br />
Yes, and I was wondering how to create a logo on a wiki. The logo is title "Infosphere.png", but there isn't this image. Do you know how to change a logo? --[[User:Electricbolt|Electricbolt]] 19:16, 31 December 2006 (PST)<br />
:A new logo for this wiki? If so just upload to [Image:NewLogo.png] and bring up the possibility of changing the logo on the [[Infosphere:Conference Table|Conference Table]]. If you're talking about another wiki, then I'm a little concerned by the name of the file. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 19:32, 31 December 2006 (PST)<br />
<br />
== PHP Template ==<br />
<br />
Do you know where to find a PHP template in MediaWiki wikis? --[[User:Electricbolt|Electricbolt]] 11:57, 6 January 2007 (PST)<br />
:Not a clue, but there's probably a help page somewhere. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 17:41, 6 January 2007 (PST)<br />
::I found the PHP template. It is "[LocalSettings.php]". You can change the logo here. To change a logo, read [[User talk:Buddy13|Buddy13's talk page]] for this info. --[[User:Electricbolt|Electricbolt]] 14:03, 15 January 2007 (PST)<br />
<br />
== Ripping Images ==<br />
<br />
Do you know how to "rip" images from DVDs? --[[User:Electricbolt|Electricbolt]] 14:48, 27 January 2007 (PST)<br />
:If you mean "rip" as in to extract directly from the data on the disc then no, if you mean via a screenshot from a playing DVD, then yes; I use Nero ShowTime (included with most recent Nero burning software), which has a screenshot button. There are other programs with this feature but I can't list them off the top of my head, windows media player isn't one of them. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 17:37, 27 January 2007 (PST)<br />
<br />
I have Intervideo WinDVD 4, which has a screenshot button, but I do not have a right version, or either it is currently unavailable. It is the "P" button.<br />
:Unfortunately I don't think I can help you there, but check out that programs help pages and website. They may be useful. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 15:36, 28 January 2007 (PST)<br />
<br />
How I take screenshots (using MediaPlayer and Invervideo): Open the DVD in MediaPlayer, pause it (in a chapter, not the menu), then open IVWDVD, and find the place you want to take a screenshot of. Then activate the video window (as opposed to the control thingy), and hit CTRL or Shift + Print Screen. Open photoshop (or MSPaint, if you ''really'' have to) and crop off the edges of the window. Save as JPG, quality 80 or so. That's how I do it. Windows won't normally let you take a screenshot of a DVD (because they like to tell you what you can and can't do with things you own), but opening the DVD in ''two'' players confuses the blocking thingy. --{{User:buddy13/sig}} 11:39, 29 January 2007 (PST)<br />

== Comics ==<br />
<br />
Hey Quolnok,<br />
No, WA is on the same issue as the Eastern States (#23), however, since #24 came out in the US I have been buying the US editions from the comic store in Perth.<br />
<br />
Sincerely, Ivan.<br />
<br />
EDIT: Is it really true that the Time Bender Trilogy TPB isn't to be commercially released in Australia? Glad I got it from the comic store while I could, then :P<br />
<br />
:Yeah, I emailed HarperCollins Australia and they don't plan to publish it, but someone else might. They suggested overseas orders. I'm getting it through the US. The reissue of #16 is the next one out, but reissues are only done in the eastern states. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 19:13, 29 January 2007 (PST)<br />
==Ban him!!!==<br />
Could someone ban [Tosha Trash] he has vandalised to much and moved me to User:Curpsbot and moved other pages I've moved them back but he's being ridiculous [[User:Humerbot 0.4|Humerbot 0.4]] 13:21, 12 February 2007 (PST)<br />
:Thanks for that also could you delete the pages he created like [David X. Cohen is Hitler Food] I moved the pages back but the pages are still there- [[User:Humerbot 0.4|Humerbot 0.4]] 04:27, 13 February 2007 (PST)<br />

== Your Template work ==<br />
<br />
You seem to like templates. However, I strongly suggest you get the if parse extension. Trust me, you'll love it. That would mean you could have a single template for all episodes, even films. O_O Trust me, I am super hax to working with templates, and I suggest you get all the episodes listed in a single template, so users can click any episode if they like. I made it in here, cause you seem to the make the template master. You know what I mean, cause you haven't seen my skills yet. ·_· --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 16:53, 23 March 2007 (PDT)<br />
:Well, I'm not able to access the areas needed to install the parser, which requires at least MediaWiki 1.6 anyway. I did mention the function, for other purposes, to Buddy at one point. Actually my first design for the nav used the default value option templates can have in later versions, it doesn't yet work here so I just went with what was possible.<br/>As for a mass list of all episodes on each episode article, someone attempted one at one point but never finished and it got deleted. I created the first NavTemplate after seeing similar on other wikis, it looked wierd at the top where the others had it due to the structure of our articles. I have seen a number of places with the template you are refering to and they can look good, I think I'd want to hide the large list by default (not possible here). A conversion of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Futurama_episodes&oldid=116065470 current one at wikipedia] may be okay, but we'd end up with two lumps at the bottom of the articles.<br />
::Unless we are cunning enough to find a smart way to sort them out. If you know what I mean. Perhaps some javascript could help, but that would require direct access to the server.

Thanks for fixing all those; I started to, but when I was gone for so long Buddy took my admin status so I can't actually revert or ban anymore. Going through to edit & resave the last version of each from the history seemed like a pain in the butt, and it was late so I just left it knowing you'd be by shortly, heh. :) [[User:Gopher|Gopher]] 08:10, 22 April 2007 (PDT)<br />

== Templates ==<br />
<br />
You seem to be the master of the templates... well at least in control of them... what about we have the "browser" template for each episode article in the top of the article? Example: [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Java_Programming/History]. Notice the "section" links at the top. This will be nice when doing "quick" browsering. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 13:22, 30 April 2007 (PDT)<br />
:I'm not sure. The style of navbar currently in use is only suitable down the bottom. Granted, if/when the episode infoboxes are applied to all the episodes those things may change completely. feel free to do test runs for new templates, but keep in mind that any info perovided by the existing templates needs to be provided in the article somewhere after the template is replaced (Gopher's episode infobox lacks the commentary link and he removed the navbar). If you need to, you can play with [Template:EpisodeNavTemplateV2|these]. The finalised version of the movie nav is the one with prodcodes, although variable order has been tweaked for that template. The last two are not yet in use, so we may neeed those later. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 21:02, 30 April 2007 (PDT)<br />

== Character pictures ==<br />
<br />
Hi, I'm new here, and just getting to grips with things! Anyway, I wanted to ask if it would be OK to add photos of the characters (to use in the infobox) with a transparent background, which various other wikis use. If you are OK with that, and the others?, I'll add then. But if not, no worries. Thanks! [[User:Effluvium|Effluvium]] 22:40, 25 May 2010 (CEST)<br />
:Welcome aboard! We generally prefer a nice character-centric, non-cropped screen capture for infoboxes, however where there is no [[promotional picture]] for a character and their article has space for one I think it would be nice to have a clean full length picture like on [[Amy_Wong#Trivia|Amy's page]]. Due to the black outline every character has and our site's black background, white may be better than transparent in most cases. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 00:43, 26 May 2010 (CEST)<br />

== Chronological list of captains and their crew ==<br />
<br />
I had made a section called "A chronological list of captains and their crew" under the Planet Express Ship section, was it spam or was it considered not necessary?<br />
:I cannot speak on Quolnok's behalf, but my assumption would be the latter. The [[Planet Express#Personnel|Personnel section in the Planet Express]] article provides a much better overview, since it also includes positions.<br />
:However, that is not to say that such a list should not be done, but in order for a chronological list of the crews to look good, it would require an article reserved for itself, because without thorough detail on the matter, it just becomes an unreadable list. A table may also be preferable. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 23:41, 14 August 2010 (CEST)<br />

== [[Promotional picture]] ==<br />
<br />
[http://www.theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Promotional_picture&curid=10850&diff=78996&oldid=75030 Those] promo pics you added are beautiful. Where'd you find them? Are they good enough for the infoboxes? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 20:39, 1 February 2011 (CET)<br />
:I agree. I found them on [http://eleven.com.au/futurama.htm Eleven's site] about a month ago. This batch of images is definitely a better match to what we see on the screen and this version of the images are roughly the same shape as a screenshot so they won't stretch the infoboxes to ridiculous proportions, which was my main problem with the older, cropped ones. I'm having trouble finding a reason not to use them. Trivia: The filename of Scruffy's picture called him "Scriffy". - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 21:30, 1 February 2011 (CET)<br />

== Infoboxes ==<br />
<br />
I saw that you had to [http://www.theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Template:Place_infobox&action=edit&oldid=81830 undo] vandalism to an infobox. When you take into account our discussion about the episode infoxbox on Svip's page, wouldn't it make sense to use this as a reason to make sure the other infoboxes are protected? For example, the Item infobox isn't protected and it links to over 100 pages. Further, aside from Sanfazer wanting to change one word, there isn't even a reason for a regular user to alter an infobox. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 12:31, 27 March 2011 (CEST)<br />
:You make a persuasive argument Teyrn. To be honest I thought most of them were protected. It turns out only the character one was fully protected... Initiating wave of cascading admin-only protections. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 13:28, 27 March 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Actually, as you noticed, only two or three were. Now, any spammers will be forced alter singular pages, and those who patrol the recent changes, such Sanfazer and myself included, should be able to take care of it. And while ''any'' vandalism looks bad for The Infosphere, one or two pages being vandalized looks better than one hundred.

== Helping Out ==<br />
<br />
I was looking for something to do, (clicking random page and hoping to find something in need of an edit wasn't getting anywhere), when I stumbled on to the [[I:Tasks|Tasks list for the site]]. Looking at it, the to do list is extremely out of date. You were the last person to update it and that was October 2009. Don't you think that the Tasks page should be redone so editors know what needed to be fixed? The Wiki Maintenance page is useful, but even that has its flaws, (reasons for update tags not put in history nor is it always obvious what the issue is). Any thoughts about an update? [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 17:09, 10 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:And that was only a revert. This is the second article like this that has been abandoned, the previous is a redirect after two years of disuse. A year after the last constructive edit to this page [[Infosphere:Current_events#The_Infosphere|Current_events]] was re purposed to be similar in part to this... but that part of it also hasn't changed for quite a while. Still a little better though. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 12:10, 11 May 2011 (CEST)<br />

:By setting them as a background image? --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] ([[User talk:Buddy13|talk]]) 20:56, 1 August 2012 (CEST)<br />
::Yup the backgroundImage CSS property. It isn't set on the page itself though. [[MediaWiki:Vector.css]] gives a default and [[MediaWiki:Vector.js]] has code to pick one of several and put it in place. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] ([[User talk:Quolnok|talk]]) 01:27, 2 August 2012 (CEST)<br />

:I suspect it has to do with [[Table:Some_pictures_not_showing_up|this issue]]. I'm not entirely sure of the cause, but uploading to the same file location whether on the pool or main makes it worse. Deleting and recreating seems to fix it, but that's a bit of a hassle if we need to do that to all the older images. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] ([[User talk:Quolnok|talk]]) 10:48, 26 October 2012 (CEST)<br />

==Working together==<br />
Hi Buddy13. At the [http://futurama.wikia.com/ Futurama Wikia], we now have 511 articles, and you have 565 here. It's great to see so many people working on this content, but I'm wondering if it would be better to combine forces and merge these two projects. After all, 1076 articles would be better! What do you think? Could a merger work? [[User:Angela|Angela]] 21:39, 3 February 2008 (PST)<br />
:I think I speak for most of us, when I say that we wouldn't exactly like the project to continue on Wikia. But rather have it continuing here (as an off Wikia wiki), personally, I consider Wikia as the geocities of Wikis. It is filled with ads, etc. And it does not keep in style with well known wikis such as Wikipedia. So if you were to move all the content over here, and "close" down the wiki on Wikia and rather link to here, then sure. But I have a hint that this may not occur. Also, you may claim you have 511 articles, but most of our articles are much longer than yours. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 04:15, 4 February 2008 (PST)<br />
::Hi Svip. I'm sorry you think Wikia is full of ads. If you log in, there are no ads, and even for non-logged in users, there's just one ad in the top right corner when using the default skin. The wikipedia (monobook) skin is available as an option. See [http://inside.wikia.com/?useskin=monobook this example] if you prefer that style. If that changes your mind, the offer of a merger with Wikia is always open. [[User:Angela|Angela]] 18:32, 6 February 2008 (PST)<br />
:::I agree with Svip. I don't see such a thing happening unless we suffer a massive cash flow problem. Right now I'd say the benefit of a merge would be minimal to us. Also, with the two wikis covering the same topics the maths is closer to 511 + 565 <= 600 and a lot of headache for those merging articles. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 20:29, 6 February 2008 (PST)<br />
:As the others before me have said, we're not likely to migrate to a wikia page. I appreciate your offer, though, and we always welcome people here. The benefits of migrating here are that the site is wholly owned by me, and totally paid out of my pocket (unless people donate ;), so there are literally zero ads (and there never will be). And this also gives us the freedom to do nearly anything we want with the wiki, including extensions and the like (I don't know if wikia allows extensions, so I may be off on that point). Merging articles from such disparate styles would indeed be tedious, but I'm sure we could work it out if combining forces was agreed upon. I've not personally been to the wikia wiki in a long while, so I don't even know how things look over there. But, as Quolnok said, since most of our articles are on the same thing, it wouldn't give either of us a thousand articles, but rather some lower number. My only concern is stolen text/images. If we do not merge, I hope that we can continue to respect each others' members by not copy/pasting text or images from the other's wiki. Please consider joining us here at the Infosphere. :D --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 13:23, 7 February 2008 (PST)<br />

==Adding collaborative videos to your Wiki==<br />
Hello,<br />
<br />
My name is Avigail Perl and I work with all our Wiki partners here at Kaltura.<br />
<br />
As you may have heard, through a partnership with the Wikimedia Foundation, Kaltura has developed a collaborative video extension to the MediaWiki software. (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Collaborative_Video) <br />
<br />
What this means is that ANY site using MediaWiki software can add the Kaltura collaborative video extension to its wiki easily and quickly today, by adding the software extension that is available for download. <br />
<br />
Looking at your Wiki I thought you might be interested in adding our new collaborative video extension. With this capability, any of your users can add images, videos and sounds to the collaborative videos created, or edit them using the full-featured online video editor (with full history and versioning similar to the text-wiki). <br />
<br />
In order to add this collaborative video extension to you site, all you need to do is:<br />
<br />
1. Apply for a Partner ID here: http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/cms/signup<br />
<br />
2. Download the Kaltura MediaWiki extension here: sourceforge.net/projects/kaltura/<br />
<br />
3. Add the extension to your site<br />
<br />
I’d love to discuss this in more detail, answer any questions and help move this forward. <br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
<br />
Avigail<br />
:A. Stick to the format of making comments here, please. B. I do not think we are really in grave need of such an extension, we rarely apply videos or feel the need to do so for our content. Since most of the content we describe is protected by copyright laws, etc., we wish to avoid getting in any trouble with any of the companies who own these rights, I think so far I'd say no. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 02:25, 11 February 2008 (PST)<br />

<br />
2) You didn't wait for an answer<br />

4) Any attempt to move from Susan Boil may result in a block, as discussed by the admins--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 03:20, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:What are you, retarded? I am an admin. Now let us see your points:<br />
1) It wasn't moved to Susan originally by me, but by Quolnok, one of the most high-ranking admins here. I was simply moving it back, after you moved it without waiting for anyone to agree or even ask.<br />
<br />
2) You not only didn't wait for an answer, you didn't even ask. You moved it to a location that was incorrect, claimed it was based on something Leela said, but couldn't be bothered to check the transcript to see if you were correct. Which you weren't.<br />
<br />
3) Nor did you.<br />
<br />
4) See above.<br />
<br />
:But have fun trying to get me blocked for correcting your mistakes. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 03:27, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Oh, so because you're an admin you get to do whatever you want, including call people retarded? How mature of you, so worthy of administrative power. Nobody agreed with Quolnok, nobody agreed with you. Thus, it was moved back to the original article name, Susan BOIL. Just because you are an admin doesn't mean you're above the rules.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 03:34, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:No, I don't do whatever I want. I use my brain. You moved something to a WRONG location without a reason, then give someone else crap for doing (what you perceived as) the same thing. THEN you threaten to get that user blocked without even bothering to check with whom you're speaking. The article was created at "Susan Boil" incorrectly, as that name is never given. On the talk page (which is where such things should be discussed, instead of doing whatever you want unilaterally) I suggested it be moved to "Susan the boil" -- Which Quolnok then did. I could have moved it, yes, but I felt that others should have input into the decision. Then you came along and decided to move it back to "Susan Boil" without consulting anyone (or apparently bothering to check the talk page or the transcript, which you claim to have based your decision upon). Quolnok then moved it to "Susan" which is still more factually accurate than yours. You moved it again back to "Susan Boil" thus initiating a move war with two admins. I saw what was hapenning, attempted to fix it by moving it to "Susan the boil" -- before I noticed Quolnok's move to "Susan" -- a mistake I then attempted to fix by moving it again to "Susan". By all means, continue this conversation if you wish. Explain why it's okay for you to move things around without asking, and why you jump on anyone else who does the same thing. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 03:44, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So, this justifies calling people retarded? I provided my sources, you didn't. Clearly, a non-specified transcript is unreliable, especially when posted on a wiki. The transcript has been on the site for over 13 months. It wasn't an error then, was it? Susan Boil is where it will stay, as indicated by Matt, the higher power.03:55, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:I just thought it was cute that you invoked an authority you don't have, and claimed that a move would result in a block, as discussed by admins. Where, exactly, was this discussed in a way that involved you? And you're still not citing sources. I have stated that the transcript does not contain the phrase. The transcript is easily found on the proper page [[Transcript:Attack_of_the_Killer_App|here]]. And you keep claiming your actions are based on information that does not exist. Show me where Leela used the phrase. Show me where Matt said officially that her name was Susan Boil. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 04:08, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So, more disrespect, huh? You provided a redlink, and still have not justified calling me retarded. You could've easily edited the transcript, If it exists, in your favor. Last time i checked, power abuse is a blockable offense. You had no right to call me retarded, or my confronting of your little game as cute --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 04:18, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:The redlink has been corrected (forgot the pipe). And any idiot can check the edit history of the transcript and see that I have never once touched it. Can you explain to me exactly what part of my actions you'd consider a "game"? The part where an admin moved something from where you want it based on false information? Or the part where you adamantly put it back, again based on false information? Or the part where a second admin (me) tried to correct the error? There has not been one example of power abuse. Show me where. I know the rules; I wrote most of them. Which is why I know to ask before moving something to somewhere it's already been moved from. I owe you no respect, as you have shown none by defying an admin's move (Quolnok's), and then doing a second time (mine). If you want respect, try showing some. You are not all-knowing, and people who disagree with you aren't automatically wrong. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 04:28, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
::[[Transcript:Attack of the Killer App|Transcript]]. I re-watched the episode on both occasions that ''I'' moved it. Did you ever? She is never called Susan Boil in the episode as you claimed. If you can find a source that has her name as "Susan Boil", an official source such as a quote in an interview or a commentary, then it can stay there. Your current reference has been proven to be miss-remembered. If you can't find anything, it goes back. Personally, I think her name is probably "Turanga Susan", but this hasn't been mentioned anywhere either. I'm posting this over at the appropriate talk page too. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 04:39, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Quolnok, that's only as you claim, so you still haveno source. You haveprovided no actual proof. Now, Buddy I tried to respect you, until you called me a retard. You know the game you're playing, it's called How to Abuse Power and Get Away With It. Neither of you provided viable sources, so, as any user would, I moved it back to the original name. I at least am following the rules. Since you wrote the rules, everyone would expect you to be its best follower. What bad expectations we had.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 04:47, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:What? Where's ''your'' damn source? You are the one who wants to move it to the WRONG name. Provide a reason. This is NOT wikipedia. We reached consensus (without you, which is the part that pisses you off) and moved it to a name that made more sense. There is nothing in the rules that states every move has to be run by you. I don't know what part of the rules you think we broke, other than moving something without your permission. I see that you have been cited for unnecessary hostility before. And for making edits without good reason (or even expressly ''against'' reason). You wanna see abuse of power? Watch this. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 04:53, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

You have not won, and the fact that you blocked me using false reasons only hurts you. I request to be unblocked. You do realize that the previous hostility was corrected by an unblock within an hour because they realized I had good intentions, right? Same situation here</blockquote><br />
:The block is for one day; I think you can wait it out. I would say I hope you learn from it, but you won't. And you still never said what exactly was my bad behavior, other than moving a page in a way you disagreed with (and you argued based on wrong information).

Fine, I'll continue. Whatever.<br />
<blockquote>[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]]: You treated me with no respect when I was only trying to politely point out what you did wrong by moving the page. You still think you can't be punished for calling me a retard, which you had no right to do. So, that's why I should be unblocked, because YOU were behaving unbecoming of am admin and disrespecting other users</blockquote><br />
:There was nothing polite about threatening me with banning (an authority you do not have, so I'm curious how you planned to follow through on this threat). I was disrespectful in response to your vague threat to try to get "the admins" to block me. You are a bully, threatening people you don't agree with, and you're upset that you used your techniques on the wrong person. I called you retarded because all four of your points were not just wrong, but could easily have been corrected yourself, had you taken the time to check a couple things before making an ass of yourself. Perhaps I made a poor choice in words, but I will not apologize for them, because I still believe in what I said (which actually was a question of your mental competency, not name-calling). I didn't ''call'' you retarded, I ''asked'' if you were retarded. A fine distinction, I know. Point is: You're a hypocrite and kind of a jerk. You did something without reason, and then got pissed when people undid it, demanding to know what ''their'' justification was. You seem to hold a double standard, where your actions are beyond reproach, and everyone else must answer to you. This is incorrect. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 05:35, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

Well apparently I'm not allowed to post "private" emails. I will respect this wish, because in terms of copyright, you do indeed own your own words and have a say in where and how and whether they are published. But I will draw attention to this one last thing: "...unblock me before Svip does." In other words, I'd better unblock you before you attempt to go over my head and get someone else to unblock you? It's a 24-hour block. Suck it up. You are an unrepentant confrontational jerk with a sense of entitlement and a refusal to ever explain your actions while demanding the same of others, and I doubt anyone will question my insignificant act of punishment upon you. I have NEVER had a hostile conflict with anyone here, yet you seem to have done so with nearly every active user. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 06:23, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

After Icyweaner2999 was unable to see why people had a problem with his behaviour, I at first just gave up on him, but since he clearly evaded his block, I decided to give him an infinite block.

The problem was that things had to be presented in a way he agreed with, or he'd make sweeping changes without discussing it with anyone (other than to complain when people undid his changes). He frequently removed large chunks of information without a single reason given in the edit summary (or, in at least one case, something to the effect of "I didn't like it that way"). The sad part is he did this to himself. I sent him to his room for five minutes. He couldn't just wait it out and take a lesson from it. He had to tie his sheets together and climb out the window.

== [[Unused Title Captions#First Set|Opinion Needed Regarding "Unused Title Captions" Image Update]] ==<br />
<br />
Hello and good day, I require your opinion about the page I have linked above. The images of the captions are of a lower quality than the ones I currently have. Mine are in a 16:9 format (800x436), whilst the ones already uploaded are in a 4:3 format (640x480). The 4:3 appear much better as thumbnails and are much more focused on the caption. Mine, on the other hand, are much sharper and reveal more of the image. (The first image currently uploaded is my own ([[:File:Unused (1).jpg|Lick Screen For "Surprise"]]) and the second is from [[User:Buddy13|Yourself]] ([[:File:Unused_(2).jpg|A Wholly Owned Subsidiary Of Top Ramen Noodle Corp.]]). If you could respond to me about this issue as quickly as possible, I would be able to either, undo the change already made or update these images. Thanks in advance. - [[User:Barder2000|Barder2000]] 3:00, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
:I uploaded the second set and didn't notice until I was done that it was squished due to the misconfiguration of the player I was using. My opinion is that the first set might as well be reuploaded, but the second needs it. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 03:18, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />

:::: I, like probably many of us, enjoy roaming the Internet for Futurama related images, videos, and such media. I happened to stumble upon a torrent that had the extras of the shows extracted. Now before you go a-judging, I proudly own all Futurama CD Media, I am just too lazy to pop in the CDs into a DVD player or my PC. So, I gave it a download, and to my surprise, there was these high quality captions included. Figured I'd help out the wiki while I'm at it. - [[User:Barder2000|Barder2000]] 04:41, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::I have ''every single'' episode in AVI format on my hard drive. I ripped them directly from the DVD's for my own convenience (so I can just play an episode directly without trying to remember what disc it's on). I'm all for fair use archiving and whatnot. But even extracted from the discs, I was under the impression that they were simply 4:3. But I think the general rule is that if you have higher quality versions of what already exists, go ahead and replace it :-) --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 04:56, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Actually, while the episodes are 4:3, the menus, including this feature, are 16:9. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 04:59, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::: I'd like to know if there is a way for me to delete old images of the captions and if so how? Also, I'd need to know how to delete some of my own uploads because I've double uploaded some. The reason I might need to delete some old caption images is because after caption 53 (which was actually 54 and we were missing one) all the images have been pushed back one thumbnail (because of editing on my part). We might also need to rename the last two captions (currently Unused_(82) and Unused(83) into, respectively, Unused(83) and Unused(84)). - [[User:Barder2000|Barder2000]] 06:39, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />

::::::: Since I do not have the knowledge and hence the ability to do the changes specified above, I hope that I can trust the more experienced folks of this wiki to finish off what I have started. All the uploading is done (Execpt for 83 and 84, which I didn't have), all that is left is to delete old images (if required) and find a way to put up the last two images (they are in the right order, just need images back in right place without overlapping new ones). - [[User:Barder2000|Barder2000]] 07:22, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />

Hey, Buddy. Not sure if Deep Space Homer already told you about this, but there's a conversation that happened on OmNomtheFailBeast's talk page.<br />

<br />
What's that supposed to mean? Was what we had nothing to you!? (This was written by OmNom)<br />
<br />
:We never had anything. At all. I don't know what you're talking about. We were never in a relationship. Look, just don't edit my user page anymore, okay? [[User:Kif|Kif]] ([[User talk:Kif|talk]]) 22:13, 14 August 2012 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Okay, "Kif", here's what we're gonna do. I want you to go to YouTube, and go search "heath ledger". Now go to the thirty-ninth page of results. SOMEWHERE on there is a video that I have commented on. I'm gonna need you to reply to that comment with "Yes, yes, they are" within 12 hours or else I'm gonna make a few more edits on some more pages that you might find close to your heart, one page for every hour you're late. And don't bother asking me what my YouTube username is, you'll know it when you find it. Until we talk again, my friend.

"This user is on break" is the greatest thing I ever saw!

If I memorized the title captions, I'd be faster.) --{{User:Buddy13/sig}} 19:56, 3 December 2006 (PST)<br />

== Congratulations and... newbie mistake==<br />
<br />
I'd like to congratulate you all for making this interesting site. And, errr, I want to seize the opportunity to say that I have made a newbie mistake: I have made an article for [Glagnar's Human Rinds] but I didn't realize that this information is included in [[Sponsors]] (oops, sorry). I have partially fixed the mistake and now there isn't any article linking it, so it might be erased, and the image Glagnars.jpg too. Sorry and thanks.

<br />
Yes, and I was wondering how to create a logo on a wiki. The logo is title "Infosphere.png", but there isn't this image. Do you know how to change a logo? --[[User:Electricbolt|Electricbolt]] 19:16, 31 December 2006 (PST)<br />
:A new logo for this wiki? If so just upload to [Image:NewLogo.png] and bring up the possibility of changing the logo on the [[Infosphere:Conference Table|Conference Table]].

== Ripping Images ==<br />
<br />
Do you know how to "rip" images from DVDs? --[[User:Electricbolt|Electricbolt]] 14:48, 27 January 2007 (PST)<br />
:If you mean "rip" as in to extract directly from the data on the disc then no, if you mean via a screenshot from a playing DVD, then yes; I use Nero ShowTime (included with most recent Nero burning software), which has a screenshot button. There are other programs with this feature but I can't list them off the top of my head, windows media player isn't one of them. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 17:37, 27 January 2007 (PST)<br />
<br />
I have Intervideo WinDVD 4, which has a screenshot button, but I do not have a right version, or either it is currently unavailable. It is the "P" button.<br />
:Unfortunately I don't think I can help you there, but check out that programs help pages and website. They may be useful. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 15:36, 28 January 2007 (PST)<br />
<br />
How I take screenshots (using MediaPlayer and Invervideo): Open the DVD in MediaPlayer, pause it (in a chapter, not the menu), then open IVWDVD, and find the place you want to take a screenshot of. Then activate the video window (as opposed to the control thingy), and hit CTRL or Shift + Print Screen. Open photoshop (or MSPaint, if you ''really'' have to) and crop off the edges of the window. Save as JPG, quality 80 or so. That's how I do it. Windows won't normally let you take a screenshot of a DVD (because they like to tell you what you can and can't do with things you own), but opening the DVD in ''two'' players confuses the blocking thingy. --{{User:buddy13/sig}} 11:39, 29 January 2007 (PST)<br />

== Comics ==<br />
<br />
Hey Quolnok,<br />
No, WA is on the same issue as the Eastern States (#23), however, since #24 came out in the US I have been buying the US editions from the comic store in Perth.<br />
<br />
Sincerely, Ivan.<br />
<br />
EDIT: Is it really true that the Time Bender Trilogy TPB isn't to be commercially released in Australia? Glad I got it from the comic store while I could, then :P<br />
<br />
:Yeah, I emailed HarperCollins Australia and they don't plan to publish it, but someone else might. They suggested overseas orders. I'm getting it through the US. The reissue of #16 is the next one out, but reissues are only done in the eastern states. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 19:13, 29 January 2007 (PST)<br />

== Your Template work ==<br />
<br />
You seem to like templates. However, I strongly suggest you get the if parse extension. Trust me, you'll love it. That would mean you could have a single template for all episodes, even films. O_O Trust me, I am super hax to working with templates, and I suggest you get all the episodes listed in a single template, so users can click any episode if they like. I made it in here, cause you seem to the make the template master. You know what I mean, cause you haven't seen my skills yet. ·_· --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 16:53, 23 March 2007 (PDT)<br />
:Well, I'm not able to access the areas needed to install the parser, which requires at least MediaWiki 1.6 anyway. I did mention the function, for other purposes, to Buddy at one point. Actually my first design for the nav used the default value option templates can have in later versions, it doesn't yet work here so I just went with what was possible.<br/>As for a mass list of all episodes on each episode article, someone attempted one at one point but never finished and it got deleted. I created the first NavTemplate after seeing similar on other wikis, it looked wierd at the top where the others had it due to the structure of our articles. I have seen a number of places with the template you are refering to and they can look good, I think I'd want to hide the large list by default (not possible here). A conversion of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Futurama_episodes&oldid=116065470 current one at wikipedia] may be okay, but we'd end up with two lumps at the bottom of the articles.<br />
::Unless we are cunning enough to find a smart way to sort them out. If you know what I mean. Perhaps some javascript could help, but that would require direct access to the server. And Buddy doesn't seem to respond to the suggestions about the Pretty URLs I made on his user talk page. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 18:11, 23 March 2007 (PDT)<br />
<br />
== Recent spamme ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for fixing all those; I started to, but when I was gone for so long Buddy took my admin status so I can't actually revert or ban anymore. Going through to edit & resave the last version of each from the history seemed like a pain in the butt, and it was late so I just left it knowing you'd be by shortly, heh. :) [[User:Gopher|Gopher]] 08:10, 22 April 2007 (PDT)<br />

<br />
== Templates ==<br />
<br />
You seem to be the master of the templates... well at least in control of them... what about we have the "browser" template for each episode article in the top of the article? Example: [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Java_Programming/History]. Notice the "section" links at the top. This will be nice when doing "quick" browsering. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 13:22, 30 April 2007 (PDT)<br />
:I'm not sure. The style of navbar currently in use is only suitable down the bottom. Granted, if/when the episode infoboxes are applied to all the episodes those things may change completely. feel free to do test runs for new templates, but keep in mind that any info perovided by the existing templates needs to be provided in the article somewhere after the template is replaced (Gopher's episode infobox lacks the commentary link and he removed the navbar). If you need to, you can play with [Template:EpisodeNavTemplateV2|these]. The finalised version of the movie nav is the one with prodcodes, although variable order has been tweaked for that template. The last two are not yet in use, so we may neeed those later. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 21:02, 30 April 2007 (PDT)<br />

== Character pictures ==<br />
<br />
Hi, I'm new here, and just getting to grips with things! Anyway, I wanted to ask if it would be OK to add photos of the characters (to use in the infobox) with a transparent background, which various other wikis use. If you are OK with that, and the others?, I'll add then. But if not, no worries. Thanks! [[User:Effluvium|Effluvium]] 22:40, 25 May 2010 (CEST)<br />
:Welcome aboard! We generally prefer a nice character-centric, non-cropped screen capture for infoboxes, however where there is no [[promotional picture]] for a character and their article has space for one I think it would be nice to have a clean full length picture like on [[Amy_Wong#Trivia|Amy's page]]. Due to the black outline every character has and our site's black background, white may be better than transparent in most cases. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 00:43, 26 May 2010 (CEST)<br />

== Chronological list of captains and their crew ==<br />

I had made a section called "A chronological list of captains and their crew" under the Planet Express Ship section, was it spam or was it considered not necessary?<br />
:I cannot speak on Quolnok's behalf, but my assumption would be the latter. The [[Planet Express#Personnel|Personnel section in the Planet Express]] article provides a much better overview, since it also includes positions.<br />
:However, that is not to say that such a list should not be done, but in order for a chronological list of the crews to look good, it would require an article reserved for itself, because without thorough detail on the matter, it just becomes an unreadable list.

:I agree. I found them on [http://eleven.com.au/futurama.htm Eleven's site] about a month ago. This batch of images is definitely a better match to what we see on the screen and this version of the images are roughly the same shape as a screenshot so they won't stretch the infoboxes to ridiculous proportions, which was my main problem with the older, cropped ones.

<br />
I saw that you had to [http://www.theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Template:Place_infobox&action=edit&oldid=81830 undo] vandalism to an infobox. When you take into account our discussion about the episode infoxbox on Svip's page, wouldn't it make sense to use this as a reason to make sure the other infoboxes are protected? For example, the Item infobox isn't protected and it links to over 100 pages. Further, aside from Sanfazer wanting to change one word, there isn't even a reason for a regular user to alter an infobox. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 12:31, 27 March 2011 (CEST)<br />
:You make a persuasive argument Teyrn. To be honest I thought most of them were protected. It turns out only the character one was fully protected... Initiating wave of cascading admin-only protections. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 13:28, 27 March 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Actually, as you noticed, only two or three were. Now, any spammers will be forced alter singular pages, and those who patrol the recent changes, such Sanfazer and myself included, should be able to take care of it. And while ''any'' vandalism looks bad for The Infosphere, one or two pages being vandalized looks better than one hundred.

I was looking for something to do, (clicking random page and hoping to find something in need of an edit wasn't getting anywhere), when I stumbled on to the [[I:Tasks|Tasks list for the site]]. Looking at it, the to do list is extremely out of date. You were the last person to update it and that was October 2009. Don't you think that the Tasks page should be redone so editors know what needed to be fixed? The Wiki Maintenance page is useful, but even that has its flaws, (reasons for update tags not put in history nor is it always obvious what the issue is). Any thoughts about an update? [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 17:09, 10 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:And that was only a revert. This is the second article like this that has been abandoned, the previous is a redirect after two years of disuse.

My top 13 Futurama episodes (in no particular order):<br />
*[[The Sting]]<br />
*[[Jurassic Bark]]<br />

*[[The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings]]<br />
*[[Time Keeps on Slippin']]<br />

*[[Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch]]<br />
*[[Overclockwise]]<br />
*[[Leela's Homeworld]]<br />
*[[A Farewell to Arms]]<br />

==Working together==<br />
Hi Buddy13. At the [http://futurama.wikia.com/ Futurama Wikia], we now have 511 articles, and you have 565 here. It's great to see so many people working on this content, but I'm wondering if it would be better to combine forces and merge these two projects. After all, 1076 articles would be better! What do you think? Could a merger work? [[User:Angela|Angela]] 21:39, 3 February 2008 (PST)<br />
:I think I speak for most of us, when I say that we wouldn't exactly like the project to continue on Wikia. But rather have it continuing here (as an off Wikia wiki), personally, I consider Wikia as the geocities of Wikis. It is filled with ads, etc. And it does not keep in style with well known wikis such as Wikipedia. So if you were to move all the content over here, and "close" down the wiki on Wikia and rather link to here, then sure. But I have a hint that this may not occur. Also, you may claim you have 511 articles, but most of our articles are much longer than yours. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 04:15, 4 February 2008 (PST)<br />
::Hi Svip. I'm sorry you think Wikia is full of ads. If you log in, there are no ads, and even for non-logged in users, there's just one ad in the top right corner when using the default skin. The wikipedia (monobook) skin is available as an option. See [http://inside.wikia.com/?useskin=monobook this example] if you prefer that style. If that changes your mind, the offer of a merger with Wikia is always open. [[User:Angela|Angela]] 18:32, 6 February 2008 (PST)<br />
:::I agree with Svip. I don't see such a thing happening unless we suffer a massive cash flow problem. Right now I'd say the benefit of a merge would be minimal to us. Also, with the two wikis covering the same topics the maths is closer to 511 + 565 <= 600 and a lot of headache for those merging articles. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 20:29, 6 February 2008 (PST)<br />
:As the others before me have said, we're not likely to migrate to a wikia page. I appreciate your offer, though, and we always welcome people here. The benefits of migrating here are that the site is wholly owned by me, and totally paid out of my pocket (unless people donate ;), so there are literally zero ads (and there never will be). And this also gives us the freedom to do nearly anything we want with the wiki, including extensions and the like (I don't know if wikia allows extensions, so I may be off on that point). Merging articles from such disparate styles would indeed be tedious, but I'm sure we could work it out if combining forces was agreed upon. I've not personally been to the wikia wiki in a long while, so I don't even know how things look over there. But, as Quolnok said, since most of our articles are on the same thing, it wouldn't give either of us a thousand articles, but rather some lower number. My only concern is stolen text/images. If we do not merge, I hope that we can continue to respect each others' members by not copy/pasting text or images from the other's wiki. Please consider joining us here at the Infosphere. :D --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 13:23, 7 February 2008 (PST)<br />

==Adding collaborative videos to your Wiki==<br />
Hello,<br />
<br />
My name is Avigail Perl and I work with all our Wiki partners here at Kaltura.<br />
<br />
As you may have heard, through a partnership with the Wikimedia Foundation, Kaltura has developed a collaborative video extension to the MediaWiki software. (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Collaborative_Video) <br />
<br />
What this means is that ANY site using MediaWiki software can add the Kaltura collaborative video extension to its wiki easily and quickly today, by adding the software extension that is available for download. <br />
<br />
Looking at your Wiki I thought you might be interested in adding our new collaborative video extension. With this capability, any of your users can add images, videos and sounds to the collaborative videos created, or edit them using the full-featured online video editor (with full history and versioning similar to the text-wiki). <br />
<br />
In order to add this collaborative video extension to you site, all you need to do is:<br />
<br />
1. Apply for a Partner ID here: http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/cms/signup<br />
<br />
2. Download the Kaltura MediaWiki extension here: sourceforge.net/projects/kaltura/<br />
<br />
3. Add the extension to your site<br />
<br />
I’d love to discuss this in more detail, answer any questions and help move this forward. <br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
<br />
Avigail<br />
:A. Stick to the format of making comments here, please. B. I do not think we are really in grave need of such an extension, we rarely apply videos or feel the need to do so for our content. Since most of the content we describe is protected by copyright laws, etc., we wish to avoid getting in any trouble with any of the companies who own these rights, I think so far I'd say no. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 02:25, 11 February 2008 (PST)<br />
::Agreed, I don't think videos are really necessary on the Infosphere, since the only thing we'd be showing videos of would be Futurama, which would just get us in trouble (Fox is known for copyright crackdowns), but thanks anyway. :D --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 07:56, 11 February 2008 (PST)<br />

<br />
== Your Moves ==<br />
<br />
1) NOBODY Agreed to move it to Susan except you. <br />
<br />
2) You didn't wait for an answer<br />
<br />
3) You did not cite any transcript as your source to justify the move<br />
<br />
4) Any attempt to move from Susan Boil may result in a block, as discussed by the admins--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 03:20, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:What are you, retarded? I am an admin. Now let us see your points:<br />
1) It wasn't moved to Susan originally by me, but by Quolnok, one of the most high-ranking admins here. I was simply moving it back, after you moved it without waiting for anyone to agree or even ask.<br />
<br />
2) You not only didn't wait for an answer, you didn't even ask. You moved it to a location that was incorrect, claimed it was based on something Leela said, but couldn't be bothered to check the transcript to see if you were correct. Which you weren't.<br />
<br />
3) Nor did you.<br />
<br />
4) See above.<br />
<br />
:But have fun trying to get me blocked for correcting your mistakes. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 03:27, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Oh, so because you're an admin you get to do whatever you want, including call people retarded? How mature of you, so worthy of administrative power. Nobody agreed with Quolnok, nobody agreed with you. Thus, it was moved back to the original article name, Susan BOIL. Just because you are an admin doesn't mean you're above the rules.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 03:34, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:No, I don't do whatever I want. I use my brain. You moved something to a WRONG location without a reason, then give someone else crap for doing (what you perceived as) the same thing. THEN you threaten to get that user blocked without even bothering to check with whom you're speaking. The article was created at "Susan Boil" incorrectly, as that name is never given. On the talk page (which is where such things should be discussed, instead of doing whatever you want unilaterally) I suggested it be moved to "Susan the boil" -- Which Quolnok then did. I could have moved it, yes, but I felt that others should have input into the decision. Then you came along and decided to move it back to "Susan Boil" without consulting anyone (or apparently bothering to check the talk page or the transcript, which you claim to have based your decision upon). Quolnok then moved it to "Susan" which is still more factually accurate than yours. You moved it again back to "Susan Boil" thus initiating a move war with two admins. I saw what was hapenning, attempted to fix it by moving it to "Susan the boil" -- before I noticed Quolnok's move to "Susan" -- a mistake I then attempted to fix by moving it again to "Susan". By all means, continue this conversation if you wish. Explain why it's okay for you to move things around without asking, and why you jump on anyone else who does the same thing. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 03:44, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So, this justifies calling people retarded? I provided my sources, you didn't. Clearly, a non-specified transcript is unreliable, especially when posted on a wiki. The transcript has been on the site for over 13 months. It wasn't an error then, was it? Susan Boil is where it will stay, as indicated by Matt, the higher power.03:55, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:I just thought it was cute that you invoked an authority you don't have, and claimed that a move would result in a block, as discussed by admins. Where, exactly, was this discussed in a way that involved you? And you're still not citing sources. I have stated that the transcript does not contain the phrase. The transcript is easily found on the proper page [[Transcript:Attack_of_the_Killer_App|here]]. And you keep claiming your actions are based on information that does not exist. Show me where Leela used the phrase. Show me where Matt said officially that her name was Susan Boil. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 04:08, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So, more disrespect, huh? You provided a redlink, and still have not justified calling me retarded. You could've easily edited the transcript, If it exists, in your favor. Last time i checked, power abuse is a blockable offense. You had no right to call me retarded, or my confronting of your little game as cute --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 04:18, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:The redlink has been corrected (forgot the pipe). And any idiot can check the edit history of the transcript and see that I have never once touched it. Can you explain to me exactly what part of my actions you'd consider a "game"? The part where an admin moved something from where you want it based on false information? Or the part where you adamantly put it back, again based on false information? Or the part where a second admin (me) tried to correct the error? There has not been one example of power abuse. Show me where. I know the rules; I wrote most of them. Which is why I know to ask before moving something to somewhere it's already been moved from. I owe you no respect, as you have shown none by defying an admin's move (Quolnok's), and then doing a second time (mine). If you want respect, try showing some. You are not all-knowing, and people who disagree with you aren't automatically wrong. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 04:28, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
::[[Transcript:Attack of the Killer App|Transcript]]. I re-watched the episode on both occasions that ''I'' moved it. Did you ever? She is never called Susan Boil in the episode as you claimed. If you can find a source that has her name as "Susan Boil", an official source such as a quote in an interview or a commentary, then it can stay there. Your current reference has been proven to be miss-remembered. If you can't find anything, it goes back. Personally, I think her name is probably "Turanga Susan", but this hasn't been mentioned anywhere either. I'm posting this over at the appropriate talk page too. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 04:39, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Quolnok, that's only as you claim, so you still haveno source. You haveprovided no actual proof. Now, Buddy I tried to respect you, until you called me a retard. You know the game you're playing, it's called How to Abuse Power and Get Away With It. Neither of you provided viable sources, so, as any user would, I moved it back to the original name. I at least am following the rules. Since you wrote the rules, everyone would expect you to be its best follower. What bad expectations we had.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 04:47, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:What? Where's ''your'' damn source? You are the one who wants to move it to the WRONG name. Provide a reason. This is NOT wikipedia. We reached consensus (without you, which is the part that pisses you off) and moved it to a name that made more sense. There is nothing in the rules that states every move has to be run by you. I don't know what part of the rules you think we broke, other than moving something without your permission. I see that you have been cited for unnecessary hostility before. And for making edits without good reason (or even expressly ''against'' reason). You wanna see abuse of power? Watch this. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 04:53, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Via email from [[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]]:<br />
<blockquote>I knew exactly you were going to do that. I confront you about your bad behavior, claim I'm harassing you without any evidence, just like what started the conversation. You have not won, and the fact that you blocked me using false reasons only hurts you. I request to be unblocked. You do realize that the previous hostility was corrected by an unblock within an hour because they realized I had good intentions, right? Same situation here</blockquote><br />
:The block is for one day; I think you can wait it out. I would say I hope you learn from it, but you won't. And you still never said what exactly was my bad behavior, other than moving a page in a way you disagreed with (and you argued based on wrong information). Not continuing this conversation. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 05:11, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Fine, I'll continue. Whatever.<br />
<blockquote>[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]]: You treated me with no respect when I was only trying to politely point out what you did wrong by moving the page. You still think you can't be punished for calling me a retard, which you had no right to do. So, that's why I should be unblocked, because YOU were behaving unbecoming of am admin and disrespecting other users</blockquote><br />
:There was nothing polite about threatening me with banning (an authority you do not have, so I'm curious how you planned to follow through on this threat). I was disrespectful in response to your vague threat to try to get "the admins" to block me. You are a bully, threatening people you don't agree with, and you're upset that you used your techniques on the wrong person. I called you retarded because all four of your points were not just wrong, but could easily have been corrected yourself, had you taken the time to check a couple things before making an ass of yourself. Perhaps I made a poor choice in words, but I will not apologize for them, because I still believe in what I said (which actually was a question of your mental competency, not name-calling). I didn't ''call'' you retarded, I ''asked'' if you were retarded. A fine distinction, I know. Point is: You're a hypocrite and kind of a jerk. You did something without reason, and then got pissed when people undid it, demanding to know what ''their'' justification was. You seem to hold a double standard, where your actions are beyond reproach, and everyone else must answer to you. This is incorrect. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 05:35, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Perhaps now would be a good time for Icy to find that source and re-watch the episode. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 05:39, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Well apparently I'm not allowed to post "private" emails. I will respect this wish, because in terms of copyright, you do indeed own your own words and have a say in where and how and whether they are published. But I will draw attention to this one last thing: "...unblock me before Svip does." In other words, I'd better unblock you before you attempt to go over my head and get someone else to unblock you? It's a 24-hour block. Suck it up. You are an unrepentant confrontational jerk with a sense of entitlement and a refusal to ever explain your actions while demanding the same of others, and I doubt anyone will question my insignificant act of punishment upon you. I have NEVER had a hostile conflict with anyone here, yet you seem to have done so with nearly every active user. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 06:23, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

=== Break ===<br />
<br />
After Icyweaner2999 was unable to see why people had a problem with his behaviour, I at first just gave up on him, but since he clearly evaded his block, I decided to give him an infinite block. I consider block evasions of an especially high lack of respect and moreover, claiming at the same time to be another person when he was so obviously not. See [[Talk:Möbius Dick]]. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 10:25, 8 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

:I agree that probably 90% of his edits were good-faith edits, and he was knowledgeable. The problem was that things had to be presented in a way he agreed with, or he'd make sweeping changes without discussing it with anyone (other than to complain when people undid his changes). He frequently removed large chunks of information without a single reason given in the edit summary (or, in at least one case, something to the effect of "I didn't like it that way"). The sad part is he did this to himself. I sent him to his room for five minutes. He couldn't just wait it out and take a lesson from it. He had to tie his sheets together and climb out the window. And he wasn't sneaky about it, he got caught, and now he's been sent to his room forever. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 21:52, 8 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

== [[Unused Title Captions#First Set|Opinion Needed Regarding "Unused Title Captions" Image Update]] ==<br />
<br />
Hello and good day, I require your opinion about the page I have linked above. The images of the captions are of a lower quality than the ones I currently have. Mine are in a 16:9 format (800x436), whilst the ones already uploaded are in a 4:3 format (640x480). The 4:3 appear much better as thumbnails and are much more focused on the caption. Mine, on the other hand, are much sharper and reveal more of the image. (The first image currently uploaded is my own ([[:File:Unused (1).jpg|Lick Screen For "Surprise"]]) and the second is from [[User:Buddy13|Yourself]] ([[:File:Unused_(2).jpg|A Wholly Owned Subsidiary Of Top Ramen Noodle Corp.]]). If you could respond to me about this issue as quickly as possible, I would be able to either, undo the change already made or update these images. Thanks in advance. - [[User:Barder2000|Barder2000]] 3:00, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
:I uploaded the second set and didn't notice until I was done that it was squished due to the misconfiguration of the player I was using. My opinion is that the first set might as well be reuploaded, but the second needs it. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 03:18, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
::I shall take upon me the task of improving thy article. Also, any specific image title, or stick with the same ones? - [[User:Barder2000|Barder2000]] 03:45, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::My question is this: Where did you get 16:9 versions? The first four DVD sets are only 4:3 O__o --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 03:59, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::: I, like probably many of us, enjoy roaming the Internet for Futurama related images, videos, and such media. I happened to stumble upon a torrent that had the extras of the shows extracted. Now before you go a-judging, I proudly own all Futurama CD Media, I am just too lazy to pop in the CDs into a DVD player or my PC. So, I gave it a download, and to my surprise, there was these high quality captions included. Figured I'd help out the wiki while I'm at it. - [[User:Barder2000|Barder2000]] 04:41, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::I have ''every single'' episode in AVI format on my hard drive. I ripped them directly from the DVD's for my own convenience (so I can just play an episode directly without trying to remember what disc it's on). I'm all for fair use archiving and whatnot. But even extracted from the discs, I was under the impression that they were simply 4:3. But I think the general rule is that if you have higher quality versions of what already exists, go ahead and replace it :-) --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 04:56, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Actually, while the episodes are 4:3, the menus, including this feature, are 16:9. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 04:59, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::: I'd like to know if there is a way for me to delete old images of the captions and if so how? Also, I'd need to know how to delete some of my own uploads because I've double uploaded some. The reason I might need to delete some old caption images is because after caption 53 (which was actually 54 and we were missing one) all the images have been pushed back one thumbnail (because of editing on my part). We might also need to rename the last two captions (currently Unused_(82) and Unused(83) into, respectively, Unused(83) and Unused(84)). - [[User:Barder2000|Barder2000]] 06:39, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::::I believe there is a template you can add to the page for the image, <nowiki>{{TBD}}</nowiki>, but it's been forever since I've used it, so I may be wrong. You can add that to the ones that need deleting, and upload your pics to new names if you want (or just upload over the old ones and it'll update them instead of deleting the old ones) --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 07:01, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::::: Since I do not have the knowledge and hence the ability to do the changes specified above, I hope that I can trust the more experienced folks of this wiki to finish off what I have started. All the uploading is done (Execpt for 83 and 84, which I didn't have), all that is left is to delete old images (if required) and find a way to put up the last two images (they are in the right order, just need images back in right place without overlapping new ones). - [[User:Barder2000|Barder2000]] 07:22, 6 October 2011 (CEST)<br />

<br />
Hey, Buddy. Not sure if Deep Space Homer already told you about this, but there's a conversation that happened on OmNomtheFailBeast's talk page.<br />
<br />
<br />
I see you edited your (and my, which I didn't appreciate) user page to say that you're in a relationship with me. Um… what? Why? [[User:Kif|Kif]] ([[User talk:Kif|talk]]) 02:21, 14 August 2012 (CEST)<br />
<br />
What's that supposed to mean? Was what we had nothing to you!? (This was written by OmNom)<br />
<br />
:We never had anything. At all. I don't know what you're talking about. We were never in a relationship. Look, just don't edit my user page anymore, okay? [[User:Kif|Kif]] ([[User talk:Kif|talk]]) 22:13, 14 August 2012 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Okay, "Kif", here's what we're gonna do. I want you to go to YouTube, and go search "heath ledger". Now go to the thirty-ninth page of results. SOMEWHERE on there is a video that I have commented on. I'm gonna need you to reply to that comment with "Yes, yes, they are" within 12 hours or else I'm gonna make a few more edits on some more pages that you might find close to your heart, one page for every hour you're late. And don't bother asking me what my YouTube username is, you'll know it when you find it. Until we talk again, my friend. [[User:OmNomTheFailBeast|OmNom]] ([[User talk:OmNomTheFailBeast|talk]]) 21:42, 14 August 2012<br />
<br />
I honestly think that you have the wrong person. Nowhere else on the internet do I go by the username Kif, so if the person you're looking for uses that username outside of here, then it's not me. Sorry for the confusion. [[User:Kif|Kif]] ([[User talk:Kif|talk]]) 22:19, 15 August 2012 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I just did what you asked. I did NOT know your username upon seeing it, I did NOT recognize the comment, because I don't know you! I'm not the person you're looking for! Don't do anything to my user page, or I can get you banned. [[User:Kif|Kif]] ([[User talk:Kif|talk]]) 01:22, 16 August 2012 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:This is certainly one of the odder exchanges I've witnessed in my time on the Infosphere, a category which includes the time someone tried to imitate me. Anyway, OmNom, don't edit other people's user pages, but, WAY more importantly, don't threaten people. Ever.

So, yeah. If DeepSpaceHomer is right about that, then there is probably something you can do about that.

[[User:Kif|Kif]] ([[User talk:Kif|talk]]) 22:46, 16 August 2012 (CEST)<br />

The featured articles for fortnights 17 through 20 were reprises from 2009. My assumption is that this was a consequence of the increasing lack of interest in article featuring. And I don't think that we looked exactly good for it.<br />

Should users continue not to contribute to the featuring, I'll try to be here every week with a new nomination and there will still be featured articles. However, the subjects of the articles that I'll be nominating will, in an effort to keep this up for as long as is necessary, come from specific episodes, because that's what's easier for me.<br />

I started with ''Blinky'', 1ACV01 material, two weeks ago. As you'll understand, this is a rather boring scenario.

Lately, there have been more and more fake user accounts being created. In the time I've been here (since late April), it's gone from something that happens about once a day to something that happens every few minutes. Is there any way to prevent this? For example, maybe all of these user accounts are coming from one I.P. address, and we could block that I.P. address if that's the case. (I have no idea how to do this, so someone else has to.) [[User:Kif|Kif]] ([[User talk:Kif|talk]]) 02:16, 20 September 2012 (CEST)<br />
:[[Table:Automatic banning of users based on format|This]] is what was done last time. We ''could'' block ^[a-zA-Z]{5,6}[0-9]{3}$, but they'll probably just move to a new combination. I think the robot detection needs re-adjusting. "Are you human?" is still in there for a start and the other ones may now be in the bot's script.

The plausibility unit was first mentioned by [[Professor Farnsworth]] when explaining how accurate his [[What-If Machine]] is.<br />

<br />
A plausibility unit is used to measure plausibility of a theory, hypothesis or scenario. The exact scale is unknown, but according to Leela, accuracy of 1/10 of a plausibility unit is "so plausible I can't believe it".<br />
<br />
The plausibility unit was first mentioned by [[Professor Farnsworth]] when explaining how accurate his [[What-If Machine]] is.<br />

'''Mort''' is a deceased tramp from the [[20th-century]]. He was killed by a Bendernator looking for [[Fry]]. Not much is known about Mort apart from the fact that he predicted that there was a society run by mechanical brethren. He obviously lost his leg because if you look closely, you can see that he has a wooden leg. He also seemed to want revenge on non-belivers who called him mad.<br />

==Additional Infomation==<br />
<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
It is unknown if he has family at all, although it is possible that he had a mother to give birth to him.<br />

Mort: What the?...<br />
<br />
Bender: Ohhhh...<br />
<br />
Mort: You're...you're a robot? God has been listening to my prayers!<br />
<br />
Bender: Are you Phillip.J.Fry?<br />
<br />
Mort: No, I'm Mort, your new master, and together we'll crush the non-belivers who called me mad when I predicted a society run by your mechanical brethren! Now first things first... I need a phaser gun and a snazzy outfit. Something that screams 'universal overlord' but is wrinkle free and breathes...hey,what are you doing?<br />

<br />
==New look?==<br />
It seems that both the wikis that I look to for inspiration [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page] [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Main_Page] have changed the way their main pages are presented. Should we retain the old style, or alter our a bit? We don't need to copy them exactly, obviously (they're both different, anyway), but perhaps we could make a few changes? Suggestions welcome. [[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 20:35, 23 March 2006 (PST)<br />

==Help Me!==<br />
The skin was fine before. Change it back! The colors are so bright and dark, my eyes hurt! [[User:BenderZombie|BenderZombie]] 22:05, 15 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
:This has been up for debate for a while. The skin was considered "obnoxious" before. The light blue did not work that well with white text. The contrast between white and dark blue is a lot more obvious. Your eyes do not hurt -- they can tell the difference between words and background colour. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 22:11, 15 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
:Well, now I have changed the boxes' colouring, if that was the issue in question, otherwise, I disagree. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 22:24, 15 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
::the affliates box is still white, and the legend on the recent changes is weird being black. it was better before. --[[User:Scruffy|I&#39;m Scruffy... the Janitor.]] 22:39, 15 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
:::The affiliates box looks fine. I cannot see what you see, try a cache-refresh. The legends on the RC is something I just forgot. Otherwise, I disagree. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 22:50, 15 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
:::Wait, the legends are white. What are you on about? Please, when making critical comments on my design, please have your own data up to date, so it is actual comparable. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 22:51, 15 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
::::already done a cache refresh. here's the affliates box and the legend: [http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/7527/55138669.jpg]. white and black! --[[User:Scruffy|I&#39;m Scruffy... the Janitor.]] 23:35, 15 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
:::::That is because you are still using Monobook, change it to Vector in your preferences. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 23:37, 15 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
:::::Yes, I had the same issue. I was like "What? It's not different at all!" but then I changed it from monobook. As for critiques, I personally think that the "tabs" at the top shouldn't be so tall. Maybe shrink them? And now that I see it in action, perhaps a gradiented line ''would'' work well there. And the affiliates area bores me. Perhaps if we rotated them all 90 degrees...? And maybe a faded effect like some sites have, where it turns to its normal colours when moused-over? I have an idea for what the muted version would look like. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 00:53, 16 August 2009 (UTC) [update]: Well, I created the images. I think they look rather nice. I went through a few different versions before settling on a method for the muted version. But I think that it will help our visual presentation maintain a consistency that will look nice, and the creators' images will look normal when moused over. I assume you're familiar with the "sliding door" mouseover effect? (If not, it's in use on my www.overt-ops.com menu on the left -- it allows mouseovers without any lag for loading times.) Let me know where you want the images (or take them yourself, they're [http://overt-ops.com/uploads/ftrm/ here]). Hope those work. The benefit of them being sideways is that they'll fill the space more effectively, and I think it'll look nice. I could also create muted versions for the MediaWiki and FMF buttons on the bottom if you're interested... --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 02:29, 16 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
::::::Sideways?! That sounds crazy! Wouldn't that just take up ''more'' space on the side? Remember, each item is a list item right now. I like the idea of muted colours (even for the FMF and MediaWiki icons) (and I know how you do it, trust me, I've have done it before myself (however, I'd recommend putting them all together in a single BIG image, which reduces loading time ''a lot'')), but I am not a big fan of the 90 degree turning. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 13:39, 16 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
:::::::Moved discussion to [[Table:Affiliates icons]]. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 13:42, 16 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
:::::For those not updating to vector, and I know anyone not checking discussions won't, I'll spend some time today doing a few spot repairs on the monobook css. Mostly the horrid affiliates box. I'll switch over later when the old css is okay again. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 03:10, 16 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
Oh okay, this is good. different, but good. --[[User:Scruffy|I&#39;m Scruffy... the Janitor.]] 02:47, 16 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== News Template ==<br />
<br />
There was no reason to create a template for something that was almost never updated. However, now that the new season is nigh, converting to template makes perfect sense. We could even post info about upcoming airings like other show-centric wikis do. Example: [http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page]<br />
:Such a change will potentially call for a redesign. In reguards to the list of airings, presumably international, would the comics also be listed there? I suspect DVD releases for all countries will go into the news section. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 21:14, 24 March 2007 (PDT)<br />
::Well, I based our front page design on that of the [http://www.hrwiki.org Homestar Runner wiki], and they've upgraded their appearance three or four times since then. You have no idea how frustrating it is not having internet at home. It makes it impossible to spend time working on this place. But if the entire community wants to create a new main page (at [[Main Page Proposal]], for example]]), then we can perfect a new design and then have a fancy new main page. Any design elements that require images, that'd be fine to upload them while it's in proposal form, and then I'll upload them properly after a design is finalized. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 12:53, 27 March 2007 (PDT)<br />
:::Alternatively, you could do like I, and have it at your userpage /Main Page, e.g. [[User:Svip/Main Page]]. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 13:12, 27 March 2007 (PDT)<br />
::::That works for a single user, but a better one would be one that has input by all active users. By "better one" I mean, method, not page. We all know democracy sucks. But hey. ;) --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 13:14, 27 March 2007 (PDT)<br />
:::::I think I'll have a go at that on the weekend when there isn't a buch of things I'm suposed to do, although I may get bored and start on that first. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 00:09, 28 March 2007 (PDT)<br />

<br />
== ...Cancelled before its time ==<br />
<br />
Looks like we may need to remove that quote before too long. Perhaps another quote would do? Or no quote at all? They've said the crew will acknowledge the absence, so maybe there will be a good quote from the first new episode that we can shove in there. Thoughts? --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 14:53, 19 August 2007 (PDT)<br />
:There's also the posible redesign to deal with. As a quote, I have no ideas for a replacement, that one is now outdated though. There's that conversation about the Box company in the trailer for the first movie, a little long though. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 01:08, 20 August 2007 (PDT)<br />
::There could always just have random quotes from the show which are changed every so often, or from the trailer we could just have when Bender says "Bender's back baby" (or something on those lines) - <span style="font-family:Dungeon,Andy,cursive;color:#ddf;"> [[User:Humorbot 0.4|<span style="color:black;">'''Humorbot 0.4'''</span>]]</span> [[Image:Planet_Express_Logo.png|20px]] 08:01, 20 August 2007 (PDT)<br />
:::Or just "I'm back, baby" from ''[[Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch]]'' (still by Bender), alternatively, we can use some sort of javascript thingie to have it randomly pick a quote. And then we could select some "quality" quotes to add there. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 09:32, 20 August 2007 (PDT)<br />

You changed it, just nice just nice. But can't the font be a little bigger? I mean, it is shorter now, so more room for it. Say like 125% in size? I would edit and test it myself, but you know, I cannot edit this page. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 15:25, 24 November 2007 (PST)<br />

Hi, I'm novice here. Your forum is full of usefull information. But I can't undestand, what is wrong with my messages - when previewing it I see some URLs that leeds to adult pages. <br />
Yes, sites seem to be very intersing, but I'll better use google to find such a sites. <br />
Could you please advice me how to recover the problem. Maybe it's a virus? Or maybe it's a feature of your forums? <br />
Please, do not delete my message. Maybe you advice me something and it will help others if they have the same trouble. <br />

:Ah yes, why isn't this happening?! However, I don't think the airings fits so great on it. Instead make an article called "Schedule" an do it there instead, just link to it. That is what they do at the Robot Chicken Wiki.--'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 06:54, 25 November 2007 (PST)<br />
::Yeah, I like it. Polish it up till everyone else (i.e., Quolnok, Svip, and ... well... them.) likes it equally, and we'll splice in some reaction shots and shove it on the net. I've been thinking our main page is a little homely. Slap some fishnet stockings on 'er and stand 'er on the streetcorner. And now I have no idea what I'm talking about. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 10:46, 25 November 2007 (PST)<br />
:::Yep, it still needs some work. I don't think the airings really works that well for us (impractical), especially if the data needs manual updates regularly to say what episodes are on. Taking it back off the main page and linking it below "news" might work or simply make it have time slots and links to the various broadcaster's schedules for episode detail may work. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 18:05, 25 November 2007 (PST)<br />

<br />
== Main page for an active show ==<br />
<br />
''Futurama'' is - no matter how you wish to look at it - an active show. It's alive! ''[cue thunderstorm]''<br />
<br />
However, with such a feature (as nice as it may be), the main page need to reflect this. Go about your business with other wikis of TV shows (specifically those of active shows).<br />
<br />
After some reasoning I am thinking of the following new structure (of the two columns):<br />
<br />
{|<br />
| style="vertical-align: top;" |<br />
* Current episode (or upcoming episode, season, etc.)<br />
* Featured article<br />
* Did you know (?)<br />
* Other<br />
| style="vertical-align: top;" |<br />
* News<br />
* New articles<br />
|}<br />
<br />
I assume people are more interested in current episodes and ''Futurama news'' than what we are currently prioritising. In addition, I feel featured articles should a lot higher up. It can seemingly go amiss among the other content.<br />
<br />
Comments?<br />

Could we not use the screenshot from Bender's Big Score to represent Holiday Val-U-Pak? For one thing, the picture isn't actually from Holiday Val-U-Pak, and for another thing, if the show continues to have long gaps between seasons, we may not be able to find screenshots from older episodes that can represent these new ones. I think we should just use the "AwaitingScreenie" file from now on. - [[User:Unit 3.0]] 18:45, 8 September 2010 (UTC)<br />

== serious rendering issues ==<br />
<br />
Is anyone else having rendering problems with certain pages? For instance, [[Turanga Leela]] is fine, while [[Robot Devil]] is laid out and formatted completely wrong, and practically unusable (oddly, [[Robot devil]], i.e. the same page viewed through a redirect, is fine). I've tried clearing cache, and I've tried multiple browsers, but they're all the same. On the "bad" pages, the main site logo is missing, the font reverts to the browser default, and everything other than the main article content (e.g. left and top bars) is shoved down to the end of the article.<br />
<br />
I checked the page source, and there are significant differences in the html header section. The "good" page has 3 linked stylesheets and a short additional style definition, and that's it. The "bad" page has 7 linked stylesheets, none of which are the same as the good page. These appear to be the problem, since adding the stylesheets from the good page (to a local copy I made) fixes the rendering... No idea why it's occurring on the site, though. --[[Special:Contributions/192.91.171.42|192.91.171.42]] 22:12, 2 December 2010 (CET)<br />
:Svip did an upgrade or something a few months back, I think these badly cached pages are still lingering from then. Sticking "?cache=purge" (or occasionally "&cache=purge")on the end of the page's address fixes it for that one page, to an extent. Me thinks a system-wide purge may be needed to handle these stray pages. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 22:26, 2 December 2010 (CET)<br />
:Same thing is with me, but different pages. A month ago or something more than half of the pages were like that, and now they're slowly going back to normal as the cache is erased. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 12:55, 3 December 2010 (CET)<br />

== What happened last night? ==<br />
<br />
Last night I tried to edit All the Presidents' Heads, when suddenly, the entire Wiki malfunctioned. Can someone please explain in plain English exactly what happened to the wiki that caused it to go kerblooey? If not in plain English then as close to it as possible? - [[User:Jasonbres|Jasonbres]] 15:22, 29 July 2011 (CEST)<br />
:This is the kind of question that belongs in the [[Infosphere:Conference Table|Conference Table]]. I don't know exactly what happened, but I assume it is related to [http://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Table:Donations&diff=96584&oldid=95724 this]. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 19:57, 29 July 2011 (CEST)<br />

== "You can't prove it won't happen" ==<br />
<br />
I think this caption sends a bad message about the wiki. It implies acceptance of unsourced spoilers. Would it be a good idea to even inquire about removing this caption from rotation? I can replace it with millions more random sayings--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 01:17, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Really? Well, I suppose if that's how one person sees it others might too. I've removed that one. Current list:<br />
:*"As seen on TV"<br />
:*"For external use only"<br />
:*"Deciphered from crop circles"<br />
:*"80% entertainment by volume"<br />
:*"As foretold by Nostradamus"<br />
:*"The proud result of prison labor"<br />
:*"Proudly made on Earth"<br />
:*"It just won't stay dead!"<br />
:*"Torn from tomorrow's headlines"<br />
:*"For the sophisticated shut-in"<br />
:*"Dancing space potatoes?<br/>You bet!"<br />
:*"A stern warning of things to come"<br />
:*"Penetrates even the thickest foil hat"<br />
:*"There will be a test"<br />
:*"A by-product of the TV industry"<br />
:-[[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 04:58, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::*facepalm* It doesn't imply a damn thing. But whatevz. I do think we should expand the list, though. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 05:01, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::Yeah, I wouldn't have thought so. But for every one person who misinterprets it in that way, there's bound to be a few hundred others. I removed one and added four. The main reason for the list being short is no longer relevant, so it's a matter of which ones are appropriate for the main page of the wiki ("See you on some other channel" and "100" for instance aren't appropriate). - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 05:31, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Agreed. Neither would be the one about "the flames in your TV" --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 05:34, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Here's some more that you could add:<br />
*Presented in double vision (where drunk)<br />
*Touch eyeballs to screen for cheap laser-surgery<br />
*Not a substitute for human interaction<br />
*Fun for the whole family except grandma and grandpa<br />
*Soon to be a major religion<br />
*Or is it?<br />
*Controlling you through a chip in your butt since 1999<br />
*Known to cause insanity in laboratory mice<br />
*Apply directly to the fore claw<br />
*Now available without a prescription<br />
*It's Tentacular!<br />
*Made from 100% recycled pixels<br />
*Made by hand (and tentacle)<br />
:There. I think if we combine that with the ones we already have, we'll get a good amount of variety.<br />

== Conference Table ==<br />
<br />
Is it just me, or is the conference table broken? Even the talk page seems weird, or I would have added this there instead. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 23:41, 19 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

<br />
== 3000 Articles ==<br />
<br />
Should we do something special with the opening page to celebrate 3000 articles when we get there?<br />
:YES! We should create a few pages right now, for samples see... not because I think it would be funny if we pass those last 12 ;p (Also, wikia needs to stop cheating on their SEO; no way is that crud higher rated than this).</div>Kifhttp://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=User_talk:OmNomTheFailBeast&diff=118717User talk:OmNomTheFailBeast2012-10-20T13:47:12Z<p>Kif: </p>
<hr />
<div>== Wait, what? ==<br />
I see you edited your (and my, which I didn't appreciate) user page to say that you're in a relationship with me. Um… what? Why? [[User:Kif|Kif]] ([[User talk:Kif|talk]]) 02:21, 14 August 2012 (CEST)<br />
<br />
What's that supposed to mean? Was what we had nothing to you!?<br />
<br />
:We never had anything. At all. I don't know what you're talking about. We were never in a relationship. Look, just don't edit my user page anymore, okay? [[User:Kif|Kif]] ([[User talk:Kif|talk]]) 22:13, 14 August 2012 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Okay, "Kif", here's what we're gonna do. I want you to go to YouTube, and go search "heath ledger". Now go to the thirty-ninth page of results. SOMEWHERE on there is a video that I have commented on. I'm gonna need you to reply to that comment with "Yes, yes, they are" within 12 hours or else I'm gonna make a few more edits on some more pages that you might find close to your heart, one page for every hour you're late. And don't bother asking me what my YouTube username is, you'll know it when you find it. Until we talk again, my friend. [[User:OmNomTheFailBeast|OmNom]] ([[User talk:OmNomTheFailBeast|talk]]) 21:42, 14 August 2012<br />
<br />
I honestly think that you have the wrong person. Nowhere else on the internet do I go by the username Kif, so if the person you're looking for uses that username outside of here, then it's not me. Sorry for the confusion. [[User:Kif|Kif]] ([[User talk:Kif|talk]]) 22:19, 15 August 2012 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I just did what you asked. I did NOT know your username upon seeing it, I did NOT recognize the comment, because I don't know you! I'm not the person you're looking for! Don't do anything to my user page, or I can get you banned. [[User:Kif|Kif]] ([[User talk:Kif|talk]]) 01:22, 16 August 2012 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:This is certainly one of the odder exchanges I've witnessed in my time on the Infosphere, a category which includes the time someone tried to imitate me. Anyway, OmNom, don't edit other people's user pages, but, WAY more importantly, don't threaten people. Ever. You're probably going to suffer some admin-imposed consequences for this. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] ([[User talk:DeepSpaceHomer|talk]]) 02:02, 16 August 2012 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== Seriously, this needs to stop ==<br />
My god. WHY? You got banned partially (although not mostly) for editing my user page without my permission. Why is it that the first thing you do when you get back is do it again!? You do not have permission to ever do that again. I'll be nice and let it slide this time, but if it ever happens again, I will get Buddy to ban you again. [[User:Kif|Kif]] ([[User talk:Kif|talk]]) 02:19, 24 September 2012 (CEST)<br />
:Nope. That *was* your second chance. You simply *do not* edit someone else's user page without permission. If you have something to say to them, that's what their talk page is for. What you've done is vandalism, plain and simple. And harassment. Unacceptable behavior. I suspect you were trying to see how far you could go before you got banned. Congratulations, you found the line, and you crossed it. The only other thing that might make sense is that you're completely brain-dead and don't understand things like cause-and-effect or consequences. Now, you are banned. Forever. Second chance: Used up. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] ([[User talk:Buddy13|talk]]) 03:59, 24 September 2012 (CEST)<br />
:Oh, thanks for doing that. (I hadn't seen it.) To be honest, the only reason I didn't report it was that I was curious as to what he would say. <nowiki>*shrugs*</nowiki> I guess we'll never know.

For the past few weeks, almost every single edit that you made has had to be reversed. You need to ''stop'' treating fan fiction and fake PEEL threads as cannon.

<br />
These are [[The Infosphere (website)|The Infosphere]]'s '''featured article nominations'''.<br />
<br />
Please nominate articles that you think are worthy of being featured on the [[Main Page]] under a level-3 heading (<code><nowiki>=== [[TheArticle'sName]] ===</nowiki></code>) below. Be aware that any article may be vetoed by an administrator.<br />
<br />
How do you vote? Edit this page, and put your name under either <code><nowiki>{{Infosphere:Accept}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{Infosphere:Decline}}</nowiki></code> for each article nominated. You can do that with [[Template:Welcome|a sig template]], three tildes (<code><nowiki>~~~</nowiki></code>), or simply <code><nowiki>[[User:YourUsername|YourUsername]]</nowiki></code>.<br />
<br />
<big><big>You must ''nominate'' an article ''before'' creating the feature. Seriously.</big></big><br />
<br />
== Guidelines for featured articles ==<br />
<!-- Feel free to add more criteria. --><br />
Featured articles should meet the following criteria.<br />
*Must have at least one image.<br />
*Must be at least 500 words.<br />
**This rule may be ignored if they are on something minor and everything known is described.<br />
*Should not [[Infosphere:Featured articles|have been featured before]].<br />
*Should not still be on [[Template:Whatsnew|the ''What's new?'' section]] of the Main Page. Nominations of these pages will be accepted, but they won't actually be featured until they leave this listing.<br />
*Should not be marked with one of the templates in [[:Category:Wiki Maintenance|the ''Wiki Maintenance'' category]].<br />
*Probably other stuff, too.<br />
<br />
== Nominations ==<br />
The ''Nominations'' section is for articles that you feel are ready to be featured. If they still need work, add them to [[#Potential candidates|the ''Potential candidates'' section]].<br />

The article is relatively thorough but can still be improved. One plus would be an [[image gallery]] (many images are already available on [[the Infosphere]] but not in that article) and a summary of its history (i. e. the ''[[Bender's Game]]'' plot). [[User:Aki|Aki]] 18:22, 1 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:I have to say no. Like you said, it needs a few more pictures and ''a lot'' more text. The only developed category is the allusions and it's only tables. There has to be more that can be added.

<div>If you move your eyes up a few centimeters, you'll see my name. Yes, that really is my name. My parents named me after an awesome character. (No, not really. Sadly.) I am also on TvTropes [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage], although I edit here a lot more often. Here's a list of articles I've created, not including categories because I've got to do something with this space, dammit! In the parenthesis after the article name are either things I'm bragging about or (much more frequently) ways that you can help improve the article.<br />
<br />
*[[Sheldon and Gwen]]<br />
*[[Kevin O'Brien]] (Needs image)<br />
*[[Giant ball of garbage]] (I wrote a featured article!)<br />
*[[Clobberella]] (Needs work from someone who's read [[Son of the Sun]])<br />
*[[Captain Yesterday]] (So does this one)<br />
*[[Superking]] (And this one)<br />
*[[Sacramental Firewall]]<br />
*[[Electric Snail]] (Needs image)<br />
*[[Stink Lizards]] (Needs image)<br />
*[[Fry's Parrot]] (Needs image)<br />
*[[Joe's Ark Pet Store]] (Needs new image)<br />
*[[Bongo]]<br />
*[[Dr. Jitter]]<br />
*[[Mountain Goo]]<br />
*[[Contrabulous Choosematron]]<br />
*[[Mom v. Farnsworth]]<br />
*[[Farnsworth's tennis instructor]]<br />
*[[Nosy Inquirer]] (Image problem, if you can fix it.)<br />
*[[Parts Hilton]]<br />
*[[Floozies]] (Needs image)<br />
*[[Gold violin]]<br />
*[[Chris Loudon]] (Needs image)<br />

*[[1450s]]<br />
*[[1510s]]<br />

*[[Blind Joe]] (Needs a bit more content; see the hidden messages I've added if you can help it. Also needs image.)<br />
*[[Mr. Greenland]] (Needs image)<br />
*[[Central Park]] (This was The Infosphere's 3000th article. I am proud to have written it. It is awesome. It needs a new image.)<br />
*[[Thundercougarfalconbird salesman]]<br />
*[[Bongo (disambiguation)]]<br />
<br />
And, I played a major part in the making of:<br />
*[[Enceladus]]<br />
*[[Old Filthful]] (Infobox is problematic, needs image)<br />
*[[Paul Revere, Silversmith]]<br />
*[[3011 Young People's Choice Awards]]<br />
<br />
Other noteworthy stuff:<br />
<br />
Recently, there were tons of images that weren't properly categorized into whatever episode they belonged to. Well, there still are, but a lot less. I categorized over 80 previously uncategorized images making [[The Infosphere]] easier for [[Nerdy teens|editors]].<br />
<br />
My top 13 Futurama episodes (in no particular order):<br />
*[[The Sting]]<br />
*[[Jurassic Bark]]<br />
*[[The Luck of the Fryrish]]<br />
*[[Where the Buggalo Roam]]<br />
*[[The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings]]<br />
*[[Time Keeps on Slippin']]<br />
*[[Parasites Lost]]<br />
*[[Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch]]<br />
*[[Overclockwise]]<br />
*[[Leela's Homeworld]]<br />
*[[A Farewell to Arms]]<br />
*[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]<br />
*[[Cold Warriors]]<br />
<br />
Other really good ones:<br />
*[[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles]]<br />
*[[The Lesser of Two Evils]]<br />
*[[The Series Has Landed]]<br />
*[[Amazon Women in the Mood]]<br />
*[[The Mutants Are Revolting]]<br />
*[[A Pharaoh to Remember]]<br />
*[[Love and Rocket]]<br />
*[[Lethal Inspection]]<br />
*[[Decision 3012]]<br />
*[[I Second That Emotion]]<br />
*[[Viva Mars Vegas]]<br />
*[[Reincarnation]]<br />
*[[Anthology of Interest I]]<br />
*[[Anthology of Interest II]]<br />
*[[The Tip of the Zoidberg]]<br />
*[[Obsoletely Fabulous]]<br />
*[[Bender's Big Score]]<br />
*[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]<br />
*[[Godfellas]]<br />
*[[Put Your Head on My Shoulder]]<br />
<br />
Look at that list above. Now tell me that nothing on there makes you mad that I added it. And make me believe it. ''YOU WILL FAIL!''<br />

'''Central Park''' is a popular park and tourist attraction in [[New New York]]. It apparently survived from the [[20th century]] from the destruction of [[Old New York]]. The [[Globetrotters]] landed in this park when they came to [[Earth]] ([[3ACV14]])<br />

I am also on TvTropes [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage], although I edit here a lot more often.

== Discussion ==<br />
Lately, there have been more and more fake user accounts being created. In the time I've been here (since late April), it's gone from something that happens about once a day to something that happens every few minutes. Is there any way to prevent this? For example, maybe all of these user accounts are coming from one I.P. address, and we could block that I.P. address if that's the case. (I have no idea how to do this, so someone else has to.) [[User:Kif|Kif]] ([[User talk:Kif|talk]]) 02:16, 20 September 2012 (CEST)<br />
:[[Table:Automatic banning of users based on format|This]] is what was done last time. We ''could'' block ^[a-zA-Z]{5,6}[0-9]{3}$, but they'll probably just move to a new combination. I think the robot detection needs re-adjusting. "Are you human?" is still in there for a start and the other ones may now be in the bot's script. Suggested questions: "Who is the first main character to appear in the pilot?" "What is the Professor's first name?" "The start/end of the pilot episode took place in which year?" - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] ([[User talk:Quolnok|talk]]) 03:28, 20 September 2012 (CEST)<br />
::Actually, that regex should be covered be the previous block, and there's already more variants... - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] ([[User talk:Quolnok|talk]]) 03:31, 20 September 2012 (CEST)<br />
:::Well, I ran '''removeUnusedAccounts.php''', tweaked the value to 15 days. This means that any account that has '''never''' made an edit, had a page deleted or appeared in any log (other than user creation log, obviously) ''and'' hasn't been online in 15 days were deleted.<br />
:::We might have hit some legitimate accounts that someone might have needed to change some preferences or something, but never actually got around to edit, seeing as it deleted 700 accounts. Anyway, I can't really worry about that, people can re-register and protect their account by making one edit. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 16:06, 20 September 2012 (CEST)<br />
::::That does make sense. I think we should add the new questions, with the exception of the last one, since someone who isn't too familiar with Futurama yet might not know that. [[User:Kif|Kif]] ([[User talk:Kif|talk]]) 00:49, 22 September 2012 (CEST)<br />
:::::They could also be common-sense questions that aren't Futurama-centric, like "What color is the sky?" or "how many wheels does a car have?" --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] ([[User talk:Buddy13|talk]]) 11:52, 26 September 2012 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Whoever it is, it's happening again. I started blocking them for "Abusing multiple accounts" but it sounds like that might interfere with your bot (since it would put them on the block log), so I'll stop further blocking. Do we have any idea where they're coming from? Or what their purpose is? What could they possibly want? --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] ([[User talk:Buddy13|talk]]) 11:49, 26 September 2012 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Clearly, whatever we're doing isn't working. There's dozens more. Does wikimedia not support regular old Captcha? It's getting tarded... --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] ([[User talk:Buddy13|talk]]) 11:09, 15 October 2012 (CEST)<br />

"'''Ghost in the Machines'''" is the one hundred and seventh episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the nineteenth of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the third of the [[Broadcast season 8|eighth broadcast season]]. It aired 30 June, 2011 on [[Comedy Central]]. When [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] dies, his disembodied software begins haunting the [[Planet Express headquarters|Planet Express building]].<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "That's it. I'm killin' myself!" ===<br />
[[file:Parade Day Parade.png|thumb|left|The [[Planet Express crew|crew]] enjoys the [[Parade Day]] parade.]]<br />
<br />
The [[Planet Express]] [[Planet Express crew|crew]] watches as the annual [[Parade Day]] parade passes by their [[Planet Express headquarters|headquarters]]. The [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] explains that during his youth, every ethnic and political group in [[New New York]] wanted their own parade, so a different parade was held every day (and "those were dark times"); eventually, all the parades were consolidated into a single holiday. However, a mishap causes the giant globe on the Earthican pride float to come loose and begin rolling toward a pair of spectators, one robot, and [[Dr. Ben Beeler|one human]]. [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] selflessly dives in front of the globe to push one of them out of the way, saving the human, but leaving the robot to be crushed.<br />
<br />
Fry is praised by the [[Mayor Poopenmeyer|mayor]] for his act of heroism, but [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] is incensed with him for sacrificing a [[robot]]'s life for the sake of a [[human]]'s. When Fry admits that he values human life more highly than robot life, Bender is so outraged that he vows to kill himself, but the crew are unconcerned; Bender ''regularly'' claims he will kill himself, but the last time he visited a suicide booth (named [[Lynn]]), he ended up dating it for six months. Bender leaves in a huff, and heads for the nearest [[suicide booth]]... which turns out to be Lynn, who violently murders him in retaliation for dumping her. A [[DeadEx]] hearse drops Bender's corpse off at Planet Express headquarters, and the crew mourn his passing... only for Bender's ghost to emerge from his body and emit a sinister laugh.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "A g-g-g-g-ghost!?" ===<br />
[[file:Devil deal.png|thumb|left|The [[Robot Devil]] offers [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]]'s ghost to make a deal that will return him to his body.]]<br />
<br />
The crew hold a wake for the deceased Bender and begin to divide his body parts up amongst themselves, and although Bender's spirit makes wisecracks about the unfortunate robot (not realizing it is his own corpse), no one responds to his jokes. Confused, Bender wanders outside, wondering aloud why no one can see or hear him... only to learn that the [[Robot Devil]], who is sitting nearby, can. The two travel to [[Robot Hell]], where the Robot Devil explains that because Bender killed himself, he is now "in Limbo"; his software was uploaded to the computational cloud, where his program is now running on the collective wireless network shared by all machinery, and Bender, stuck in an infinite loop, can never leave it. Bender grumbles how his predicament is Fry's fault, prompting an angry response from the Robot Devil, who still wants revenge on Fry for [[The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings|stealing his hands]]. The Robot Devil offers Bender a deal: if Bender uses his ghostly powers to scare Fry to death, the Robot Devil will return him to his old body; if he fails, however, then he will be condemned to Robot Hell.<br />
<br />
Bender sets out trying to frighten Fry, only to discover that his task is more difficult than he first thought; as a ghost, he is immaterial, and cannot interact with physical objects. However, he discovers that he can manipulate electronic equipment by "possessing" it. Bender wages a campaign of technological terror against Fry, attacking him with every appliance in his apartment and the Planet Express building. Seeking aid, the crew call in the [[Gypsy]], who is able to sense the presence of a robot ghost, but cannot identify it as Bender; Bender possesses her, causing her head to explode. Following that, the crew summon [[Reverend Lionel Preacherbot|the Reverend Preacherbot]] in order to perform a robotic exorcism. The Reverend provides Fry with a "[[sacramental firewall]]" that expunges all "ghostware" within 20 feet. As long as Fry keeps it with him at all times, he will be safe.<br />
<br />
While Fry sleeps that night, Bender is able to overpower the firewall and take possession of it, using it to project a nightmarish image of Fry's face melting off his skull. This causes Fry to suffer a heart attack, and he falls to the floor, apparently dead.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "I'm back from lots of stuff." ===<br />
[[File:Amish Homeworld 2.png|thumb|left|[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] moves to the [[Amish homeworld]] to get away from the ghost that is torturing him.]]<br />
<br />
Bender returns to the Robot Devil to claim his body, but the Robot Devil says that according to Fry's Wikipedia page, he survived his heart attack and is still alive. At the hospital, [[Dr. Cahill]] informs Fry that his heart was severely damaged, and he must avoid further shocks; because he is being haunted by a robot ghost, the only solution is for him to move to the [[Amish homeworld]], where all electronic devices are prohibited. As Bender takes possession of Fry's heart monitor, preparing to terrorize him further, Fry laments how much he misses Bender (much to Bender's surprise). Fry's experience with the unidentified spirit has led him to develop a newfound respect for robotic life. Touched by the sentiment, Bender is unable to kill Fry, and accompanies him on his journey to the Amish planet aboard a wooden spaceship.<br />
<br />
Fry lives a simple, rustic existence on the Amish planet, working as a carpenter and farmer. Bender accompanies him the entire time, but because there are no machines on the planet, he is unable to communicate his presence to Fry. One day, the rest of the Planet Express crew come to visit Fry, while Bender watches from a distance. The Robot Devil appears, disguised in the clothing of one "[[Granny Hester]]", and instructs Bender to kill Fry and satisfy the terms of their agreement; when Bender refuses, the Robot Devil claims that Bender has no choice, as he is fated to kill Fry. Bender inadvertently spooks the oxen pulling Fry's cart, causing the barn atop it (which is shaped like a geodesic dome) to topple to the ground and begin rolling toward Fry and the other crew members. Bender shouts out a warning to Fry, but cannot be heard; the Robot Devil mocks him, saying there are no machines on the planet he can possess to save Fry. Bender counters that there is ''one'' machine, and promptly possesses the Robot Devil. Using the Robot Devil's body, Bender pushes Fry out of the path of the rolling barn, only to be crushed beneath it. Fry, confused at being saved by the Robot Devil ''speaking in Bender's voice'', expresses a desire to return home to Earth.<br />
<br />
The spirits of both Bender and the Robot Devil descend into Robot Hell, with the Robot Devil explaining that because Fry lived, Bender violated their contract, and will spend an eternity in Robot Hell as a disembodied ghost (while the Robot Devil simply uploads himself into a new, identical body). Just as the Robot Devil begins to torment Bender with a song, Bender is unexpectedly pulled upward, and ascends to [[Robot Heaven]], where "[[Robot God]]" explains that because of his act of self-sacrifice to save Fry, Bender is now welcome there. Bender, however, is not pleased; he takes possession of Robot God, demanding to be returned to [[Earth]], and is swiftly kicked out of Robot Heaven. At Planet Express, Bender's body quickly reassembles itself, allowing his spirit to occupy it. The crew, and especially Fry, are overjoyed to have Bender back... but when Fry asks whether or not it was Bender who was haunting him, Bender's eyes becomes shifty, and he does not answer.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
During May [[2011]], ''[[Countdown to Futurama]]'' released five items of promotional material for the episode: a [[promotional picture]] featuring the [[Robot Devil]] on 15 May, concept art of an [[Earthican pride float]] depicting [[Zapp Brannigan]] and the ''[[Nimbus]]'' on 16 May, a promotional picture featuring the [[Planet Express crew]] mourning for Bender as his ghost watches from above on 17 May, part of [[Storyboard:Ghost in the Machines|the storyboard]] showing [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]] give [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] the keys to [[New New York|the city]] on 18 May, and a promotional picture featuring Fry and Bender's ghost sleeping in [[Apartment 00100100|their apartment]] on 19 May.<br />
<br />
On 15 June, [[David X. Cohen]] revealed that [[Dan Castellaneta]] would be reprising his role as the Robot Devil.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/cohen-spills-the-beans-on-futuramas-new-season/ |title=Cohen Spills the Beans on Futurama's New Season |work= |author=Cohen, David X.|date=16 June, 2011|accessdate=2011-6-16|speaker={{n|Cohen|David X.}} |quote=Well, Dan Castellaneta returns as the Robot Devil for an episode where Bender dies but his software keeps haunting the Planet Express, and he has to make a deal with the devil.}}</ref> On 28 June, two days prior to the release of the episode, [[Comedy Central]] released a two-minute clip featuring Bender's death. On 29 June, the day before the airing, [[Bongo Comics]] released a promotional picture featuring the Robot Devil in [[Granny Hester]]'s clothes.<br />
<br />
Before airing, several items released had the episode title "Ghosts in the Machines" ([[:File:619-Float.jpg|example]]), but most sources used "Ghost in the Machines".<br />

<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*[[Dr. Cahill]] says that Fry may be suffering from "machine-phobia", although the technical phobia is {{w|mechanophobia}}. But given that Dr. Cahill has shown bimbo characteristics, this can be forgiven.<br />
*Ghost In The Machine is also the name of an album by the british rock band, The Police.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
<!-- As per discussion in the Conference Table, the allusions should be ordered chronologically. I. e. what happens first in the episode, should be listed first. Please follow this.--><br />
<!-- Overall --><br />
* The title is a parody of the phrase "{{w|Ghost in the machine}}".<br />
<br />
<!-- Act I --><br />
* The sausage float's brand (All Parts Franks) is a play on the real-world brand, {{w|Ball Park Franks}}.<br />
* The name and logo of [[DeadEx]] is an obvious reference to {{w|FedEx}}, a {{w|courier}} company. This was previously referenced in "[[Future Stock]]", when [[Planet Express]] changed name to [[PlanEx]] and with it adopted the same logo.<br />
* [[Zapp Brannigan]] holding up the [[Earth]] as the [[Earthican pride float]] is a reference to {{w|Atlas (mythology)|Atlas}} of {{w|Greek mythology}}, who according to the mythology supported the heavens in such a way.<br />
<br />
[[file:Exorcist.png|thumb|The scene when [[Preacherbot]] comes to help is a reference to the movie ''{{w|The Exorcist (film)|The Exorcist}}''.]]<br />
<br />
<!-- Act II --><br />
* The [[Robot Devil]] is reading a magazine entitled "Life in Hell", a reference to [[Matt Groening]]'s {{w|Life in Hell|comic strip}} and the news magazine ''{{w|Life (magazine)|Life}}''.<br />
* When the Robot Devil is about to start sing, he has a wall with a boat called "S. S. Anything Goes", a reference to {{w|Anything Goes|the musical}}.<br />
* Bender asks the Robot Devil if he's "a g-g-g-ghost?!" This is a reference to grown-ups' reaction to seeing ''{{w|Casper the Friendly Ghost}}'' in the cartoon series of the same name.<br />
* When the [[Robot Devil]] mentions an {{w|infinite loop}}, he blows out the sign for {{w|infinity}} (∞) in smoke.<br />
* Fry is about to spread "It Sure Ain't Butter!" on his toast. An obvious parody of {{w|I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!}}.<br />
* When [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] is calling for help to "bust his ghost", [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] asks "who you gonna call?", and Fry begins to reply "Gho--" before he is interrupted. This is a reference to the movie ''{{w|Ghostbusters}}'', and the lyric "Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!". The phone number, now disconnected, acknowledges this, declaring the line lame since 1989, the year ''{{w|Ghostbusters II}}'', which is often considered a weaker film, was released.<br />
* The scene in which [[Preacherbot]] is coming to help drive out Bender, is a reference to the movie ''{{w|The Exorcist (film)|The Exorcist}}''. The scene when he stands outside the [[Planet Express headquarters]] is identical to one in the movie, and the same music is played.<br />
<br />
<!-- Act III --><br />
* When Bender comes to tell the Robot Devil of having killed Fry, the Robot Devil is playing {{w|Patience (game)|Patience}} on his computer.<br />
* The Robot Devil looks up Fry on [[Wikipedia]], who indeed has a page. The page was updated with Fry's survival before Bender could descend into Hell to tell the Robot Devil he killed Fry.<br />
* Bender screams "Damn you, Obamacare!" after finding out Fry survived his heart attack. "Obamacare" is the colloquial name given to the {{w|Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act}}, which was proposed and signed into law by [[President of the United States|U.S. President]] [[Barack Obama]].<br />
* Fry travels to the [[Amish homeworld]], a planet populated by [[Amish]] people.<br />
* Fry's carriage is a geodesic dome, popularized by {{w|Buckminster Fuller}}. The Robot Devil later references this when he tells Bender that Fry is "about to be fully buckministered".<br />
* When Leela asks Fry how he is, he replies "thank you for asking, English". "English" is a common Amish label for the world outside of their culture.<br />
* [[Robot God]] resembles the character EVE from ''{{w|WALL-E}}''.<br />
* Bender's body reassembling itself resembles the title character from ''{{w|The Iron Giant}}''.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
<!-- As per discussion in the Conference Table, the continuity should be ordered chronologically. I. e. what happens first in the episode, should be listed first. Please follow this.--><br />
<!-- Overall --><br />
* [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender's]] mortality was the main theme of "[[Lethal Inspection]]".<br />
<br />
<!-- Act I --><br />
* Once again, Fry is being taught about concepts of the [[31st century]].<br />
* [[Suicide booths]] have previously appeared in multiple episodes, first in [[Space Pilot 3000|the pilot]]. This is, however, the first time [[Lynn|a suicide booth]] is seen to have feelings and being capable of decision-making.<br />
* The concept of [[robots]] turning into ghosts was previously seen in "[[The Honking]]".<br />
* The robot crushed by the giant globe was the concessions robot at the theater in "[[Raging Bender]]".<br />
* Apparently [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela's]] relationship is on hold once again, as Fry mentions having sex with [[Mrs. Poopenmeyer]] and Leela isn't bothered.<br />
* Bender's disgust that robots are supposedly considered "inferior" was first explored in "[[Fear of a Bot Planet]]".<br />
<br />
<!-- Act II --><br />
[[File:Rbot Devil Singing-6ACV19.png|thumb|right|Callback to "[[Hell Is Other Robots]]".]]<br />
* The [[Robot Devil]] originally appeared in "[[Hell Is Other Robots]]", and has appeared in several episodes since.<br />
** References are made to the Robot Devil's interest in singing, and one of the songs he starts singing is the song with which he explained the punishments for Bender's multifarious sins in his original appearance {{et|1ACV09}}.<br />
** The Robot Devil also mentions having switched hands with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] before {{et|4ACV18}}, stating that they "still smell like candy corn".<br />
* After the Robot Devil explains Bender's ghostliness, Bender says, "Adoy! Wait, Adoy?" This is a possible reference to the [[Futurama (video game)|video game]] [[Adoy|character of the same name]], making this the first reference the TV series has ever made to the video game.<br />
** Actually, this refers to a saying that was popular in the 1980s and 90s. When someone said something that was plainly obvious, s/he would often say "Doy!", which is the same as "Duh!". Often times people would put an "A" in front of both words to add emphasis. This led to "A-Duh!" and, of course, "A-Doy!".<br />
* The heart attack Bender caused Fry to suffer is his fourth; he mentioned in "[[Fry and the Slurm Factory]]" that he suffered three when he was in high school.<br />
<br />
<!-- Act III --><br />
* It was revealed in "[[The Cryonic Woman]]" that a cure for heart attacks has been invented.<br />
* [[Robot Heaven]] was previously mentioned by the [[Reverend Lionel Preacherbot|Preacherbot]] in "Hell Is Other Robots".<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
<!-- Act III --><br />
* The [[Robot Devil]] says "there aren't any machines on [the [[Amish homeworld]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>". Bender tells him "there's one". In fact, there is a second, Leela's [[wristlojackimator]], which he was able to possess earlier in the episode, a third, Amy's wristlojackimator, and a fourth, the calculator that Hermes ate in "[[The Duh-Vinci Code]]".<br />
** It is, of course, possible that he simply didn't think of any of those, disqualifying it as a goof.<br />
* During the "taking-off caps" scene, Fry's shirt is blue, instead of white.<br />
* Since it was established that Bender is mortal in "[[Lethal Inspection]]" and his duplicated was killed in "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]" then shouldn't his duplicate be in Robot Hell? It is also possible that after fleeing from Hell in "[[Hell Is Other Robots]]", Bender no longer officially belongs to Robotology and hence does not go to robot hell after death.<br />
* When the Robot Devil dies, his ghost possesses a replacement body. Since he has multiple replacement bodies, he should have had no problem replacing his own hands in "[[The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings]]".<br />
** Though he may have had replacement bodies made to prevent a similar situation from happening again.<br />
* Fry is seen carrying Bender's corpse effortlessly in his hands, which just seems odd considering his weight of at least 500 lbs (and as much as 2 tons).<br />
**People seem to be able to punch him no problem, so metal may be lighter in the future, although 500 lbs lighter is pushing this theory slightly.<br />
* When making his deal with the Robot Devil, Bender is able to hold the pen to sign the contract, but in all other scenes, before and after that one, he is unable to interact with anything other than machines.<br />
** It could've been an electronic pen (it is the future after all), or some kind of pen created by the Robot Devil that allows Bender to use it.<br />
* When Amy gives Fry Bender's eyes, his eyes were shown as round (this is also the case in "[[Anthology of Interest I]]"), even though in most episodes (such as "[[Space Pilot 3000]]"), Bender's eyes are cylinders.<br />
** It's likely that the skeletal structure inside Bender's (spherical) eyes are able to stretch the eyeball, allowing him to see distant objects, like a pair of binoculars. However, this is likely not true, as his eyes fell out of his head as cylinders even when he wasn't looking at anything in episodes such as "[[Anthology of Interest II]]".<br />

{{about|the first incarnation of Agnew|the current incarnation|Headless clone of Agnew}}<br />
<br />
The '''headless body of Agnew''', formally known as '''Spiro Agnew''', was the [[Vice President of the United States|Vice President]] during [[Richard Nixon's head|Richard Nixon]]'s [[President of the United States|U.S. presidency]], as well as the [[Vice President of Earth|Vice President]] during his [[President of Earth|Earth presidency]]. Unlike his U.S. vice presidency, Agnew died while Earth Vice President.<br />
<br />
Nixon traded off Agnew to [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Wernstrom]] as a payment for the destruction of the robot party on the [[Galapagos Islands]]. However, as Wernstrom failed, he remained the Vice President.<br />
<br />
Agnew's fate was sealed during a game of miniature golf at [[Leo Wong]]'s [[Wongminster Miniature Golf Club|Wongminster]], when the eco-feminist protest group, the [[Feministas]], disrupted the play and accidentally killed Agnew with a run away golf cart.<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that Agnew is headless, he is still capable of making growling noises.<br />
<br />
Agnew's body was apparently [[Headless clone of Agnew|cloned]] sometime between ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'' and "[[A Farewell to Arms]]".<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
According to the [[Commentary:Crimes of the Hot|commentary]] of "[[Crimes of the Hot]]", the idea for the character was from [[Eric Kaplan]].<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
===Trivia=== <br />
*Unlike most famous people, his body has been preserved without his head, instead of the [[heads in jars|other way around]].<br />
*He can be heard making noises, but it would seem he does not have vocal cords as almost all of his neck is missing.<br />
*He is probably inspired by the frankenstein monster, played by Boris Karloff in the 1931 movie "Frankenstein", as his grunts are very similar to the monster.<br />

'''Patric Miller Verrone''' is an [[American]] writer and labor leader who is a writer for ''[[Futurama]]''. After the series went off the air, Verrone began writing various issues of [[Comic Listing|Futurama Comics]], published by Matt Groening's Bongo Comics Group. Many of his stories have been very unique; for example, one of his issues can be read seven different ways ("[[Six Characters in Search of a Story]]"), and another involves folding and manipulating certain pages so that the story can flow between various pages ("[[Bender Breaks Out]]"). He has also written a few stories for Simpsons Comics and Bart Simpson Comics. Thanks to his own writing, he, along with other Bongo staff appears in "Bender Breaks Out". He also appears as [[Patric M. Verrone's head|his head in a jar]] in "[[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences]]". He is married to ''Futurama'' writer [[Maiya Williams]].<br />

<div>[[File:AL1 DVD.jpg|thumb|AL1 appearing on the DVD]]<br />
The '''alien languages''' in ''[[Futurama]]'' are set of background jokes, appearing in the background through out the length of the show. The intention of these alien languages was for its viewers to discover how they work and then decipher them, feats at which its fanbase have excelled.<br />
<br />
Technically, they are not 'languages' per se, but a ciphered form of English, or more precisely, Latin characters, since not all of their 'translations' are in English.<br />
<br />
There are only two of these 'languages' known to exist, or at least deciphered. Some fans believe a 3rd language was introduced in the [[season 4|fourth season]], but this has never been confirmed.<br />
<br />
For a list of sightings, see [[list of alien language sightings]].<br />
<br />
== AL1 ==<br />
The first alien language (Alien Language 1; AL1) is a simple substitution cypher. This means that each Latin letter is simply replaced with a new symbol. The script can be translated into English simply by learning each symbol, or by looking it up in a table. Albeit missing the questionmark which looks like an arrow pointing upwards with a dot at the base of the shaft.<br />
<br />
In the episode "[[Leela's Homeworld]]", the script is referred to as "Alienese".<br />
<br />
=== Symbols ===<br />
[[File:AL1 Key.jpg|center|This translation table shows all known AL1 symbols.]]<br />
<br />
== AL2 ==<br />
[[File:A Venusian Corporation.jpg|right|thumb|AL2]]<br />
The second alien language is more complicated, and is not for the faint of heart. Each symbol has a numerical value. To decode a message, the first symbol's value is translated directly into a character (0='A', 1='B', and so on). For the remaining letters, you subtract the previous symbol's numerical value. If the result is less than zero, you add 26. Then that number is converted into a character as before.<br />
<br />
Not until the release of {{f|1}} was the symbol 1 ("B") known. It was not used in the movie, but was released as part of a special feature on the DVD called "Bite My Shiny Metal X", a special lecture discussing the math of ''Futurama''. <br />
<br />
'''Note''': If you ever see two identical symbols in a row, the second is always an "A".<br />
<br />
=== Symbols ===<br />
[[File:AL2 Key.jpg|center|This translation table shows all known AL2 symbols.]]<br />
<br />
== Other Alien Languages ==<br />
[[File:ALsymbols.jpg|right|thumb|Various Alien Language symbols.The highest one up (in red) is {{w|Morse Code}}.]]<br />
If two Alien Languages aren't enough, the Futurama writers have also done other Alien Languages that seem to be Gibberish, and have not been translated, like [[Leela]]'s bracelet under her [[Wristlojackimator]], various symbols in "[[My Three Suns]]" and others.<br />
<br />
== Additional Information ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Many fans think that AL1 is Alienese and AL2 is Betacrypt 3. Although Alienese is used to refer to AL1 in "Leela's Homeworld", Betacrypt 3 is never actually linked to either AL1 or AL2. Throughout the audio commentaries, the creators refer to each language as "Alien Language one" and "Alien Language two"&mdash;so we use the same standard here. <br />
*In the commentary for "[[A Bicyclops Built for Two]]", [[David X. Cohen]] makes note of some fans referring to AL2 as Betacrypt 3. It is seen on a door to a chat room.<br />
*On the [[Volume 3]] 4-Disc set, after the [[Fox]] Warning screens, there is a message in AL1<br />
*AL1 makes an appearance in ''[[The Simpsons]]'' in the episode "[[simpsons:Beware My Cheating Bart|Beware My Cheating Bart]]" while Homer is watching ''[[simpsons:Stranded|Stranded]]'', a spoof on the show ''Lost''.<br />

"'''The Why of Fry'''" is the sixty-fourth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the tenth of the [[Season 4|fourth production season]] and the eighth of the [[Broadcast season 5|fifth broadcast season]]. It aired 6 April, 2003 on FOX. It guest stars [[Bob Odenkirk]] as [[Chaz]]. [[Nibbler]] enlists [[Fry]] in a mission to blow up [[Brain Spawn|evil brains]] bent on destroying the [[Universe Γ|universe]]; Fry time travels into the past to prevent himself from being cryogenically frozen.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
<br />
[[File:4ACV10 Medals.png|thumb|left|220px|[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] feels unimportant when [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] comes back from a successful mission without him.]]<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "Without me, there IS no mission!" ===<br />
[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] is disappointed because [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] went on a mission without him (and without his services as Delivery Boy), and because Leela is going out with another man - [[Chaz]], the Mayor's aide. Fry is down in the dumps because he thinks himself unimportant. Meanwhile, Leela and Chaz are going to [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]], where Chaz manages to get a table without a reservation - Leela is genuinely impressed. Fry has adjourned to [[O'Zorgnax Pub]] to drown his depression in alcohol, however, Leela and Chaz enter and Leela tells him she may not make it back to her apartment tonight, and she needs him to walk [[Nibbler]]. Fry gets fined as Nibbler unloads a pile of [[Dark Matter]] on the sidewalk, just in time for Chaz to make a showy appearance in his car with Leela. Nibbler, however, reveals his intelligence to Fry and takes him to his spaceship, both leave [[Earth]] and head for [[Planet Eternium]] where the [[Nibblonians|Nibblonian]] Council informs Fry that he is the most important person in the universe, for the fate of the universe rests with him.<br />
<br />
[[File:Delta Brain Wave Absence.png|thumb|left|220px|The [[Nibblonians]] tell Fry of his powers, or lack thereof.]]<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Now it's personal!" ===<br />
Fry is told that due to his lack of the [[Delta Brain Wave]], caused by a genetic anomaly because [[Roswell That Ends Well|he is his own grandfather]], he is immune to the attacks of the [[Brain Spawn]] and therefore the only hope of the universe. The Brains have constructed the [[Infosphere]], a monstrous memory bank that contains all information in the universe. Once they have acquired all information, they will make sure that there is no new information by destroying the universe. Fry is to infiltrate the Infosphere and plant a [[Quantum Interphase Bomb]] inside that will blast the sphere into an alternate universe from which there is no return, then escape the blast on a [[Scooty-Puff|Scooty-Puff, jr.]] ''(Who's ready for safe fun?)'', a clockwork-powered scooter. As the Infosphere opens itself for a final self-scan, Fry can enter the structure undetected as the Brains cannot perceive him because of his special thought processes. Fry plants the bomb, but hesitates to trigger it as he wants some answers on intriguing questions, like what postal stamp glue is made of (toad mucus) and what really [[Dinosaurs Extinction|killed the dinosaurs]] (the giant brain at the center of the sphere). The unauthorized access triggers the alarm, and as Fry tries to make his getaway, the scooter breaks. The brains become aware of his presence, among them the [[The Big Brain|Big Brain]]. Fry now triggers the bomb, leaving sixty seconds to detonation. Fry is pleased that he is helping good triumph over evil, or so he thinks. The brains in turn show him [[Nibbler's shadow|what really happened]] on the night of 31 December, 1999 when Fry got frozen (after some confusion between him and a Phillip J. Fry from Hovering Squid World 97A) - Nibbler gave Fry's chair a push so he fell into the cryogenic tube. Fry is furious with the Nibblonians for wrecking his past life, but before they can elaborate on the subject, the bomb goes off and transfers the Infosphere to the alternate universe.<br />
<br />
[[File:Fry pushing himself in 4ACV10.png|thumb|left|220px|To save the universe - and [[Turanga Leela|other]] things - Fry pushes himself into the tube.]]<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Here I come, future!" ===<br />
The Brains think of a way for Fry to return to 31 December 1999, so he can prevent Nibbler from shoving him into the tube and thus stop the Nibblonians from thwarting the Brain's plan to understand and destroy the universe. Meanwhile, Chaz has taken Leela to the [[New New York#Rocket Skating Rink|Rocket Skating Rink]] that he has reserved just for them - impressing her once more. But the reservation means that the orphans from the [[Cookieville Minimum Security Orphanarium]] can't take their turn on the rocket skating rink as planned and are missing out. Leela asks Chaz if the orphans can join them, but he refuses as he wants to impress her with his amazing influence. This leaves Leela extremely testy, and she makes him eat his own badge - the romance is over. Fry is transferred by the Brain Spawn to [[Old New York]], to the night he was frozen, where Nibbler is then busy ordering a pizza as [[I. C. Wiener]] at [[Panucci's Pizza]] to the address of [[Applied Cryogenics]]. Fry materializes behind Nibbler under the desk his other self is sitting at and seizes him, telling him what brought him there. Nibbler explains that he did not come back in time, and that Fry is needed in a thousand years time, and that the Nibblonians were afraid he might refuse being frozen. Fry, on the other hand, loves the future and has nothing against being frozen, but is still mad because he does not like being used. Nibbler now tells Fry what happens now is his choice, and asks Fry if there is nothing in the future that he wants, and Fry answers that it is Leela - but that she doesn't think much of him. Nibbler thinks she may be the [[The Other One|Other]], and tells Fry not to give up on her - he offers his help in the matter. Fry is now left to choose between saving himself or the universe - and Leela. He makes his decision and tips the chair his other self is sitting on, sending him into the [[Cryogenic Freezing Chamber|cryogenic tube]] - the future is saved... unfortunately, it means he's going back to the other Universe and the Infosphere. Fry has just enough time to say that Scooty-Puff, Jr. sucks before he fades - and so, a thousand years later, Fry manages to escape the vanishing Infosphere on the [[Scooty-Puff|Scooty-Puff, Sr.]] ''(The Doom-Bringer)''. Nibbler brings Fry back to Earth and then deletes his memory of the incident to maintain his cover. Before that, he gives Fry a flower that he in turn gives to Leela, and for a moment, she is happy to see him, although he is not the most important person in the universe. As she gives him a kiss, Fry's final utterance is "YES!"<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
[[File:Nibbler's shadow in 1ACV01.png|thumb|225px|The events of the episode were planned before the show even started, as is evidenced by the foreshadowing of [[Nibbler's shadow]] in [[Space Pilot 3000|the pilot]].]]<br />
*This episode is one of two ''Futurama'' episodes that do not feature [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]], the other being "[[Where No Fan Has Gone Before]]", which is the following episode in [[production]] order.<br />
*The events of this episode were planned before the show started.<br />
**This can be shown by the presence of [[Nibbler's shadow]] in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", the very first episode.<br />
**The connection to "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]" was not part of the original plan.<br />
*Guest star [[Bob Odenkirk]] is the brother of ''Futurama'' writer [[Bill Odenkirk]].<br />
*The last three bits of information seen going into the [[Infosphere]] are "Beavers mate for life", "11 > 4", and "For Quality Carpets, Visit Kaplan's Carpet Warehouse". <br />
**''Kaplan'' may refer to [[Eric Kaplan]], who is a writer for ''Futurama''.<br />
*This episode was named #20 on IGN's list of [http://tv.ign.com/articles/716/716663p1.html Top 25 Futurama Episodes].<br />
*This episode was named #6 on TV.com's list of [http://www.tv.com/story/12579.html?ref_story_id=12579&ref_type=1101&ref_name=story Top 10 Futurama Episodes].<br />
*Technically, some of the events didn't happen, namely those in which [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] travels back in time because [[Nibbler]] remembered to give him a [[Scooty-Puff Sr.]], instead of the [[Scooty-Puff Jr.]], meaning Fry could get away from the Infosphere and not get a chance to ask to go back.<br />
*This episode marks the only time that Fry is seen wearing a [[Wristlojackimator]], which he uses to communicate with the Nibblonians.<br />
*The Brains' method of time travel works across universes.<br />

**A shot of Nibbler's third eye sticking out of a trash can is included as a reference to these events as well, an item which many fans had noticed.<br />

**The toy in the bag Zoidberg hands Fry looks a lot like the cat on the back of Leela's backpack in this episode.<br />

**When the [[Legion of Mad Fellows]] tells Fry that the fate of the universe depends on him, he says "Yeah, I get that a lot." There is also mention of how he lacks the [[Delta Brainwave]].<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
[[File:Martians Mars Venusians Venus.png|thumb|right|Amy's book]]<br />
*Amy reads the book ''[[Martians]] are from [[Mars]], [[Venusians]] are from [[Venus]]'', an allusion to ''{{w|Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus}}''.<br />
*The song "{{w|Insane in the Brain}}" by {{w|Cypress Hill}} is referenced to by one of the Brain Spawn with "are you insane in the membrane?" <br />
*The flashing light Nibbler uses to erase Fry's memory alludes to the Neuralyzer in the movie ''{{w|Men in Black (film)|Men in Black}}''.<br />
*After having his memory erased, Fry asks "Did everything just taste purple for a second?" This is an instance of {{w|synesthesia}}, a neurological condition that is characterized by the mixing of sensory input. Fry does this once before, when he smells the color blue flowing out of the microwave in "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]".<br />
**It is possible, then, to assume that Fry is a colour-gustatory synesthete (a synesthete that "tastes" colours).<br />
*The giant brain within the Infosphere bears a high resemblance to the final boss from {{w|Gradius}}.<br />
*In the book ''{{w|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (book)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}'' by Douglas Adams, there's a flashback that tells of a very old race. These people built a giant computer called {{w|List of minor characters from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy#Deep Thought|"Deep Thought"}} just to finally get an answer to {{w|Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything#Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything (42)|The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything}}.<br />
*{{sw|Star Wars}}:<br />
**The Infosphere resembles the {{sw|Death Star}}.<br />
**The mission to destroy the Infosphere (and destruction of it) is reminiscent of the mission to destroy the Death Star.<br />
**[[Nibbler]] says "maybe she [Leela] is the other," but this remark remains unexplained. It is likely it is a reference to ''{{sw|Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back}}'' where {{sw|Yoda}} mentions that "there is another," which too is never explained, though it is likely to refer to {{sw|Princess Leia}} — it is doubtful that the writers of ''Futurama'' are trying to suggest that [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and Leela are siblings.<br />
**Nibbler also says "Knows not does he!" Again, this seems to be a reference to Yoda messing up grammatical structures in Star Wars movies.<br />
*When the Big Brain explains how Fry can return to the past, a {{w|light cone}} diagram is shown on the display, used in {{w|general relativity}} to illustrate the past and future boundaries of an event.<br />
*When the Nibblonians are telling Fry that he is very important, Fry incredulously asks "So the way I feel when I'm drunk is correct?". The Nibblonians reply: "Yes, except that the {{w|Dave Matthews Band}} doesn't rock".<br />
*The rocket skates are slightly reminiscent of the ACME rocket skates {{w|Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner|Wile E. Coyote}} always buys.<br />
*"There are guys in the background of {{w|Mary Worth (comics)|''Mary Worth'' comics}} that are more important than me." <br />
*After Fry, the Brainspawn and the Infosphere are trapped in the alternate universe, one of the brains mentions that they could spend the rest of eternity singing "{{w|American Pie}}"; the full version of the song lasts over eight minutes.<br />
*The Brainspawn's mission is reminiscent of the mission of Braniac from the Superman DCAU series, who seeks to understand all information and then destroy it.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*Albert is missing from the group of [[Orphans]].<br />
**There are many reasons why Albert could be missing from the [[Orphans]], he could have been adopted or alternatively he could simply not like rocket skating<br />
**He is not adopted until the episode "Yo Leela Leela".<br />
*The Infosphere apparently scans all knowledge in a sequential way. One knowledge chunk is "11 > 4". There are unlimited pairs like that, so technically the scan could never be completed.<br />
**It may have only been scanning information that people said, meaning that this wouldn't be true.<br />
**Another explanation is that this was done intentionally as a joke, although it's unlikely.<br />
*When Fry and Nibbler were in the past (31 December 1999), and under the table, they were talking at normal volume so the Fry in the past sitting in the desks chair would obviously have heard them.<br />
** It is established in {{e|3ACV07}} that Nibbler must communicate telepathically to bypass the language barrier. It is entirely possible that Fry's perception is that they're talking normally when they might not even be speaking at all.<br />
*When the Nibblonian ship approaches the Infosphere, the female niblonian is on the left hand side (from viewer's perspective) and then when the camera goes into the ship, she and Lord Nibbler have swapped places, she is now on the right.<br />
*The light in Applied Cryogenics change during the scene. When Future-fry emerge and grabs Nibbler all shadows indicate the only light source is directly above the table. When the countdown on the clock begin the light source is between the table and the cryogenics tube, and finally when past-Fry tumbles over there's an incredibly powerful light source at the entrance door.<br />
*In "Jurassic Bark", we see a Nibblonian eye-stalk in the trash bin, yet in this episode Nibbler is under the desk all the time.<br />
**The eye-stalk is not necessarily Nibbler's. Also, given the importance of that moment in time, it is possible that Nibbler has traveled through time in an episode that hasn't aired yet, and the eye-stalk is a duplicate Nibbler, and that it is another Nibblonian.<br />
*When Fry enters the Nibblonian Hall, his jacket is done up, then next shot it is undone again. He would not have had time to undo it.<br />
*When Fry is flying into the Infosphere, there's a shot of him looking down at his wrist communicator and he isn't wearing a glove. Every other shot shows he is.<br />
*The Nibblonians could not be called that and neither can Nibbler be called Lord Nibbler, because Turanga Leela names Nibbler, so that could not be his real name, if he had sentience BEFORE being found by Leela.<br />
** It is established in {{e|3ACV07}} that his name and the name of their race is likely called such for the sake of time as in the time it would take to pronounce one letter of his true name, a trillion cosmoses would flair into existence and sink into eternal night. <br />
<!--<br />
Please Talk page discussion about this matter.<br />
*When Fry goes back in time and lets Nibbler freeze him, Nibbler says that he will get a transfer to Earth to help Fry in 1000 years. However, because Nibbler is on Earth the whole series, (we presume that being on Vergon 6 was simply a ploy to get close to Fry), that means that Fry has always been going back in time. Simply because Nibbler is with Fry means that Fry went back in time, so he SHOULD have given Fry the Scooty Puff Sr. in the first place.<br />
*Because Fry tells Nibbler that Scooty Puff Jr.s suck, Fry doesn't end up getting trapped in the Infosphere. Because of this, Fry wouldn't be able to go back in time and tell Nibler that Scooty Puff Jr.s suck, and he WOULD get stuck in the Infosphere. Then, because he got stuck in the Infosphere, he WOULD go back in time... etc. This creates a paradox.<br />
*The big brain in the center of the Infosphere asked if the request was from the Philip J. Fry of Earth, or the Philip J. Fry of Hovering Squid World 97A, indicating that there was only one Philip J. Fry on Earth during 31 December, 1999. However, in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', when Bender looks for Fry in the phonebook, it becomes apparent that there was more than one Philip J. Fry alive at that time.<br />

"'''Rebirth'''" is the eighty-ninth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the first of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]], the [[Broadcast season 7|seventh broadcast season]] and the [[second run]] of ''Futurama''. It aired 24 June, 2010 on [[Comedy Central]]. After the crash of the [[Planet Express]] ship, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] awakes to find himself and the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] the only ones left. But luckily, the Professor has a way to give rebirth to the remainder of the crew.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
[[File:PE Crash.png|left|thumb|The PE crew dies in a horrid crash.]]<br />
<br />
=== Cold Opening: "Yeah, we're back." ===<br />
In the original airing of this episode, the [[Hypnotoad]] appears on screen, and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]]'s voice announces that people will forget the series was ever cancelled "by [[Fox Network|idiots]]" and later revived "by [[Comedy Central|bigger idiots]]." The scene changes to [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] walking into [[Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]'s laboratory, asking why his hair is frizzy and why he is covered in burns. The Professor explains that when the crew entered a wormhole at the end of ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'', they emerged near [[Earth]] through the "[[Panama Wormhole]]", Earth's main channel for shipping. [[Zapp Brannigan]], aboard the [[Nimbus]] flagship, damages the [[Planet Express Ship]], causing it to crash in a large explosion with the Nimbus outside of the Planet Express headquarters. Professor Farnsworth survives due to his full body "[[safety sphere]] device", suffering only "tribial bray dablage", while Fry appears to be undamaged, save for severe burnmarks.<br />
<br />
The rest of the crew - not so lucky at all, as revealed to Fry.<br />
<br />
[[File:Birthing machine.png|left|thumb|[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|The Professor]] rebirths the crew with a [[rebirth machine]].]]<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "Move over God - Prepare for rebirth!" ===<br />
The Professor manages to successfully revive everyone killed in the crash using [[adult stem cells]] (harvested from perfectly healthy adults he killed to get these stem cells) and a [[birthing machine]], except [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], who enters an irreversible coma. Bender also experiences difficulty during the rebirth. The Professor fits one of his doomsday devices to power him. The device generates excess power, and Bender is forced to continue partying endlessly or else he will explode.<br />
<br />
[[file:Cyclophage.png|thumb|left|The [[Cyclophage]] attacks the crew on [[Turanga Leela|Leela's]] funeral.]]<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Can you believe she wore a tank top to my funeral?" ===<br />
Fry, in his despair over Leela, makes a [[Robot Leela|robot version of her]] at the [[Build-A-Bot Workshop]]. Hermes is able to generate Leela's personality and memories for the robot; however, the robot Leela is horrified to learn of the human Leela's predicament. Farnsworth is unable to wake the human Leela, and as per her final wishes, she is taken to a planet to be eaten by a Cyclops-devouring monster known as the [[Cyclophage]]. At the service, Bender's obnoxious partying wakes Leela, who is shocked to see Fry kissing Robot Leela.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "So that's why I'm so amazed of these things I already knew!" ===<br />
The Cyclophage approaches, and the crew escapes in the ship. As the ship takes off, the Cyclophage attaches itself to the underside of the ship, unbeknownst to the crew.<br />
<br />
Back on Earth, Fry begins to question that either Leela loves him. Leela hears him telling himself that he only loved Robot Leela because she was so much like the real Leela. He also says that he thought Leela loved him, but was wrong as usual. Leela appears to him and convinces him otherwise. Robot Leela sees this, and a fight breaks out between the two Leelas. Fry is handed a gun by [[Amy Wong|Amy]] and told to shoot one, but accidentally shoots himself, only to expose that he too is a robot. The Professor then proceeds to explain what really happened the day the ship crashed. Fry, in his attempts to shield Leela to protect her, was almost completely obliterated by the explosion. The Professor attempted to revive Fry in the birth machine, but this did not have any discernible effect. Leela, in her despair over Fry's death, made a [[Robot Fry|robot version of him]] and generated his personality for the robot. However, a malfunction caused Leela to receive a severe electric shock, putting her into a coma, and the robot Fry to be badly burned and lost his memory. Human Fry suddenly emerges from the birthing machine, having finally absorbed the stem cells. Robot Fry and Robot Leela declare their love for each other, and leave together, leaving the human Fry and Leela to each other.<br />
<br />
Bender decides he is fed up with constant partying and begins to vibrate with the excess energy. The Cyclophage suddenly emerges, and attempts to eat Leela. Bender's severe vibrations cause one of his eyes to fall out, and the Cyclophage swallows him, believing Bender to be a cyclops. The device explodes, killing the creature. Bender emerges intact and the Professor declares that Bender expended his excess energy, making it unnecessary for him to keep partying. The crew leave in order to celebrate, and [[Zapp Brannigan]] emerges from the birthing machine with a "wheeee!"<br />

As the first episode of a new run, the production first and foremost focused on continuing from ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''{{'}}s cliffhanger ending. [[David X.

<br />
=== Original concept ===<br />
<br />
According to [[Commentary:Rebirth|the commentaries]] for the episode, [[David X. Cohen]] and [[Matt Groening]] had a completely different idea for the return of the show. In it, [[Planet Express crew|the crew]] would appear in another universe, or a distant part of our universe, as a result of passing through [[Panama Wormhole|the wormhole]] at the end of ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''. [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] would wake up in a beautiful paradise of natural beauty, and are just about to start kissing and making out when they realize that they are in a zoo inclosure. <br />
<br />
An alien race has captured the crew, and want to breed [[humans]]. While Leela is turned off by this and loses interest, Fry is even more turned on by the crowds watching them. The alien race then throws in [[Zapp Brannigan]] to have two males fighting over one female. At this point, Matt Groening "very wisely" suggested that the crew would return to [[Earth]], instead, and that the series would pretty much continue where it left off.<ref>DVD [[Volume Five]]: [[Commentary:Rebirth|Commentaries]] for "Rebirth".</ref><br />

=== Reviews ===<br />
"Rebirth" received positive to mixed reviews. IGN's Robert Canning rated it 7.5 (good),<ref name="review-ign">{{cite web |url=http://tv.ign.com/articles/110/1100558p1.html |title=Futurama: "Rebirth" Review |author=Canning, Robert |date=2010-06-21 |accessdate=2010-06-26 |publisher=IGN}}</ref> and noted that "[w]hile the big laughs may be few, 'Rebirth' still delivers an interesting story using many of the familiar tropes of this amazingly well rounded sci-fi world".<ref name="review-ign"/> ''IF Magazine''{{'}}s Carl Cortez graded both episodes together a B+,<ref name="review-ifmagazine">{{cite web |url=http://www.ifmagazine.com/review.asp?article=4165 |title=Early Review: FUTURAMA - SEASON SIX - 'Rebirth'/'In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela' - Season Premiere |publisher=IF Magazine |author=Cortez, Carl |date=2010-06-24 |accessdate=2010-06-26}}</ref> Firefox News' Ariel Ponywether gave it an A+,<ref name="review-firefoxnews"/> Paste Magazine gave it 8.0 (commendable)<ref name="review-paste">{{cite web |url=http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2010/06/futurama-review-rebirth-61.html |title=''Futurama'' Review: "Rebirth" 6.1 |author=Gandert, Sean |publisher=Paste Magazine |date=2010-06-25 |accessdate=2010-06-26}}</ref> and UGO's Alex Zalben called it "good".<ref name="review-ugo">{{cite web |url=http://www.ugo.com/tv/futurama-s-back-and-it-s-good |title=Futurama’s Back – And It’s Good! |publisher=UGO |author=Zalben, Alex |date=2010-06-24 |accessdate=2010-06-26}}</ref><br />

<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
[[File:Bender Dancing.jpg|right|thumb|A promo pic showing Bender dancing at Studio 1²2¹3³.]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*It is among the few media to have its title [[:Category:Media featuring its title|featured in it]] and [[One-word titled media|only one-word long]].<br />
*Leela tells Fry that if he had died, she probably would have built a copy of him too; as it turns out in the twist, however, that's exactly what she did.<br />
*With this episode, [[Lauren Tom]] and [[Phil LaMarr]] have officially been promoted to regular cast members.<br />
*The doomsday device the Professor uses to power Bender looked similar to the [[Spheroboom]] which Bender stole from the Professor, and again from - then used against - the [[Scammer Aliens]] in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]''. However, this doomsday device is smaller than the Spheroboom.<br />
*In some reruns, the first line that Bender says while the [[Hypnotoad]] is shown on screen is, "This has been a test of the Emergency Hypnotoad System. Had this been an actual hypnosis, you would go limp and watch whatever crap comes on next. Comin' up next: ''Futurama''!", after which he snaps his fingers. This is also the version seen on [[Volume 5|the DVD]]. The version from the original airing is included as a [[List of deleted scenes|deleted scene]].<br />
*Rebirth is one of only four episodes of [[season six]] to contain the full opening sequence, the others being "[[That Darn Katz!]]", "[[Benderama]]", "[[Yo Leela Leela]]" and "[[All the Presidents' Heads]]". Beginning with "[[In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela]]", the opening sequence becomes abridged by cutting some parts of the flight of the Planet Express Ship and eliminating the opening cartoon.<br />
*Sky1 aired this episode on 22 July, 2011, after being originally scheduled for premiere six months earlier on 7 January, 2011.<br />
*When this episode airs in local syndication on ABC affiliates Bender's monologue and the joke about [[Comedy Central]] is removed, this maybe due to the fact that these episodes play right after "[[The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings]]". So if anyone doesn't see [[Production Season 5|Season 5]] they might be confused about the ship crashing.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Fryfro 6ACV01.png|thumb|right|[[Fryfro|Fry's afro]]]]<br />
<br />
*[[Kif]] is supported by a system of fluid-filled bladders, as in "[[Where the Buggalo Roam]]".<br />
*This is the second episode in which Leela falls into a coma, the first being "[[The Sting]]".<br />
*Once again, we see Bender has difficulty getting up from lying on his back, as proven in "[[Crimes of the Hot]]".<br />
*When Hermes profiles Leela's personality, the computer says Leela's shoe size is 12. In "[[A Clone of My Own]]" and ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]'', Bender addresses Leela as "big boots". Also, in "[[Anthology of Interest II]]", the Cute Witch of the North (Amy) asks Leela whether her boots come in "Women's sizes".<br />
*The surveillance video debuted in "[[Bendless Love]]" where it was used to identify [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|the person bending things around Planet Express]].<br />
*[[Fryfro|Fry's afro]] makes its first appearance since "[[Anthology of Interest I]]". It will appear again in "[[A Clockwork Origin]]".<br />
*Stem cells were actually revealed, or at least assumed, to not be controversial in "[[Three Hundred Big Boys]]" when [[Professor Farnsworth]] used them at Geneworks to temporatily make himself appear younger.<br />
*When the second Fry comes out of the stem-pool, he calls his robot self a "dork." This is the second time Fry has treated a duplicate of himself badly. In Bender's Big Score, he also makes fun of his time duplicate at the cryogenic lab.<br />
*Fry smells the milk to know if it can be drank like he did in ''[[Bender's Game]]''.<br />
<br />
=== Censorship ===<br />
*This episode was subject to [[censorship]] by {{w|Pick TV}}.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*When the Professor describes the [[Panama Wormhole]], he is referencing [[Comedy Central]]. When he says that "[they're] on it now", he is referencing the [[Second run|revival]] of ''Futurama'' by Comedy Central, which is marked by this episode.<br />
*The [[Build-A-Bot Workshop]] is a reference to the ''Build-A-Bear Workshop'', and, possibly, the [[Toynami Futurama Figures|Toynami toyline]].<br />
*The Professor says Leela "went all ''{{w|Blade Runner}}''" on them.<br />
*[[Studio 1²2¹3³]] is an allusion to the infamous Studio 54 of New York (1²=1, 2¹=2, 3³=27. 1*2*27=54).<br />
*At Studio 1²2¹3³, Bender dresses in the same suit that John Travolta wore in the film ''{{w|Saturday Night Fever}}''.<br />
*When [[Robot Fry]] and [[Robot Leela]] shed their skins, they talk like {{w|Terminators}}.<br />
*When the cast is rebirthed, they are first introduced by name, with the last characters out announced as "The Rest", a call back to {{w|Gilligan's Island#Theme song|the original theme song of Gilligan's Island}} where the Professor and Mary Ann are introduced as "The Rest" despite the fact only two characters remained to be named. This is due to their designation as "second-billed co-stars". The same reference is made in "[[Less than Hero]]".<br />
*When Leela is discovered to be in an irreversible coma, Bender sings, "Coma coma coma coma coma coma-leela!" This is a parody of the Culture Club song "{{w|Karma Chameleon}}".<br />
*Fry sees a cinema showing the film ''[[That Darn Cyclops!]]'' which reminds him of Leela. The film's name is a reference to the 1968 film ''{{w|That Darn Cat!}}'', also referenced in the episode title "[[That Darn Katz!]]".<br />
*Bender having to constantly dance in order for the doomsday devise to not detonate is a reference to {{w|Speed (1994 film)|the 1994 film ''Speed''}}, in which a bus cannot slow down without exploding.<br />
*The Panama Wormhole is a reference to the {{w|Panama Canal}}, a man-made channel for shipping located near the border of {{w|Panama}} and {{w|South America}}.<br />
*Coincidentally, the title of this episode was also the title of the two-parted pilot of ''{{w|Batman Beyond}}''.<br />
*The rebirth sequence bears some similarities to the series {{w|Battlestar Galactica|New Battlestar Galactica}} with the Cyclon Ressurection tanks.<br />
*Using the public recordings, e.g. security camera videos, to develop the Robot Leela is in reference to the creation of virtual Zoe Graystone in Caprica (TV series).<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*When Fry straightens his "Fry-fro" in the first scene, we see his sleeves, which are intact; seconds later, we see holes in his jacket and severe burns underneath them.<br />
*When Robot Leela says she loves Robot Fry, she is wearing a [[wristlojackimator]] but it is gone when she raises her hand again.<br />
*When Bender first gets out of the [[Cyclophage]], he is shortly seen with two eyes, only to have one eye again in the next scene.<br />
*How did Zapp end up with his head still perfectly intact without using a [[safety sphere]] like the ones [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] and his crew used in the [[Planet Express ship]]? <br />
**It might be that the ''[[Nimbus]]'' possesses similar technology.<br />
*After Fry asks how to tell the two fighting Leelas apart, Leela is temporarily drawn with two pupils, with one focused on the robot Leela and one turning to look at Fry.<br />
*The Professor tells Bender that if he stops partying for a single second, he'll explode. However, the first time he tells Bender this, Bender is standing still for about ten seconds and nothing happens.<br />
**The Professor may have been guessing or exaggerating.<br />
*Although it was already a mistake that everyone had reverted to their normal outfits at the end of ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'', [[LaBarbara]] was still in her [[Feministas|Feminista]] outfit at the end of the film, but in Farnsworth's flashback she reverted back to her normal clothes as well; Zapp is also wearing his normal uniform but he likely took the opportunity to change clothing.<br />
*After Zapp shouts out his victory yodel through the speaker in the [[Planet Express ship]], the speaker is shown again as Fry and Leela kiss, but disappears for the rest of the flashback.<br />
*The first scene shows the exterior of the [[Planet Express headquarters]], but the giant explosion crater is not there.<br />
*The closed captioning indicates that [[Randy Munchnik|Randy]] says, "No, spank you" but he's clearly saying "No, thank you".<br />
*The buttons that activate the [[Safety sphere|safety spheres]] appear and disappear after one shot.<br />
*[[Amy Wong|Amy's]] skeleton has 4 ribs while the others have 5. Scruffy is missing one rib bone from his right side.<br />
**This could be explained: Amy, a [[Martian]], may have less ribs than people from Earth, or simply had hers removed to be skinnier. Scruffy may have had a rib taken out in the past.<br />
*When Fry is looking out the window, the moon is much further away the second time you see it from the same view.<br />
*In "[[Why Must I Be A Crustacean In Love]]", it is said that Dr. Zoidberg is an invertebrate but his head is shown attached to a spine when the professor removes the "horror curtain". <br />
*[[Robot Fry]] and [[Robot Leela]] look completely different when they shed their human exteriors than when they were originally built by Fry and Leela. Unlike their change in voice, this is never addressed.<br />
*During the opening ship crash, Fry says they have "lost power to the forward {{w|Game Boy}}", although he is clearly using a {{w|Nintendo Entertainment System}} controller.<br />
*When [[Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] is explaining that Fry died in the crash to save Leela, he says what is left of him just bubbled away in the stem cells, but afterwards he states the brew was yet to be finished until the "Fry-fro" scene (though it may be that it was because of the first attempt to revive Fry that the brew was perfected).<br />
*When [[Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] revives all the characters, [[Bender]] couldn't be revived with stem cells because he doesn't have living tissue. However, this is clearly a joke, as made evident by Fry's question.<br />
*The fugitive status of the crew is never formally resolved.<br />
*[[The Professor]] seems okay with the idea of Leela or Fry dating a robot in this episode. However, in "[[Proposition Infinity]]" he is against [[robosexuality]].<br />
[[File:Two-eyed Bender error.PNG|250px|thumb|right|Bender has two eyes after coming out of the Cyclops Eater.]]<br />
**The Professor knew that [[Robot Leela]] was designed for another robot, explaining why he does not care. The designing of [[Robot Fry]] was only shown in flashbacks, so the Professor may have said something that was not seen onscreen.<br />
*When Fry has a miniature Fry and Leela made out of {{w|Lego}}s on the table, Lego Leela is facing Lego Fry's side, while in the next shot they are standing side by side. Then, in the shot after that, they are back in their original position. Fry couldn't have time to move them.<br />
*When [[Bender]] comes out of the Cyclops eaters' mouth, his second eye is back. Then, a scene later, he has one eye again and screws his second eye in.<br />

At the end of ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'', the [[Planet Express]] [[Planet Express ship|ship]] goes through the [[Panama Wormhole]] and exits in [[Earth]] orbit. The ship is shot by [[Zapp Brannigan]]'s flagship [[Nimbus]] and thus losses power. The ship crashes in front of the company [[Planet Express headquarters|headquarters]], killing all the [[Planet Express crew|crew]] except the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] and Leela who was saved by Fry. Saddened by Fry's death, Leela builds Robot Fry at a [[Build-A-Bot Workshop]]. Robot Fry was programmed to love Leela after she uploaded his personality from surveillance tapes, this also made him look the same as the real Fry. Unfortunately, due to excess wiring in his stomach, he short circuited killing Leela and wiping both of their short term memories. Then, thinking he is human, he goes on to build a [[Robot Leela]]. When the originals are rebirthed the two robots shed their skins, change voices for some reason, and then leave.<br />

We know little to nothing about this robot and/or drawing. Despite their release of material, we are still left to guess about a ''lot'' of the plot.

:::Um, sorry. I honestly think that if you're going to have a link in an article, you'd better expect something to appear in that article.

'''Robot Leela''' is a robot supposed to look like [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] who was created by [[Robot Fry]] after her irreversible coma. <br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
After the [[Planet Express ship|PE ship]]'s crash, the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] used his [[Rebirth machine]] to make the crew rebirthed, but Leela was still in coma. Robot Fry then went to [[Build-A-Bot Workshop]] to build a Robot Leela. At first she is only vaguely similar to Leela, but Professor Farnsworth copies all of Leela's traits into Robot Leela. Robot Leela now looked exactly like the real Leela, thought exactly like her, and had all of her same memories. She, supposedly like Leela, is in love with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]. She almost instantly discovers she's a robot and not the real Leela when her pet [[Nibbler]] bites part of her arm off, exposing her wiring. She goes on one date with Robot Fry, before anyone but Professor Farnsworth knew he wasn't the real Fry, but she questions if her feeling for him are hers or Leela's, so they become just friends again. At Leela's funeral at the [[Cyclophage]] reserve, Leela wakes up from her coma and sees Robot Fry and Robot Leela kissing. Leela, also not knowing that this Fry was really Robot Fry, is upset with him, but later forgives him. Robot Leela is jealous of Leela and fights her over Fry's love. During the fight, it is discovered that Fry was really a robot that Leela had built (see "[[Rebirth]]" for more info). Robot Leela decides she is in love with Robot Fry, and they take off their "meat suits" and leave together, their voices changed for an unknown reason.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
[[File:Leela Robot.jpg|thumb|right|Concept Art]]<br />
Robot Leela's concept art was released during the [[Countdown to Futurama]] on the 7th May, 2010.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*She does not have a [[wristlojackimator]] like Leela does, except in her final robot form.<br />
*When she removes her human skin and face, her voice changes to sound like the {{w|Terminator (character)|T-800}} from the {{w|Terminator (franchise)|''Terminator'' films}}.<br />

{{User:Buddy13/sig}} I think we should take all the little bits about decapodian anatomy, and put them in their own section. Zoidberg has so many freakish traits, they should really be explored in detail. Like his fin, his gas bladder, his four hearts, his blowhole, is inkpouch, et cetera. The commentaries say that "Zoidberg is ''every'' sea creature" &mdash; they give him whatever trait is funny at the moment.<br />
<br />
{{User:Whaler on the Moon/sig}} You do that. And while you're at it, you could incorporate this picture of the Decapodian flag on the Mobile Oppression Palace. Perhaps it even can get it's own article? [[Image:Decapodian Flag.jpg|thumb|left]]<br />
{{clear}}<br />
== Life-Cycle Image ==<br />
{{User:Buddy13/sig}} Before I complete it, I'd like to ask a few questions: Where do you guys think the Vinnie form should go? I'm thinking after the coral form where siblings bud from them, but there's no real info. The order of Zoidberg's reverted forms are obvious, so it's just a matter of finding where to stick that snail form. On the other hand, we could just assume that Vinnie ''isn't'' a Decapodian, since he's not red and hasn't apparently aged since Zoidberg left. We could leave him off entirely, in this case. For now, I have plans to include the adult form (i.e., Zoidberg) and a "Mating Frenzy" phase. Should I include the Frenzy phase as an additional form? I'm also pondering whether to include hermit-crab form (from [[The Deep South]]), as it isn't really a developmental stage, and seems entirely optional to the Decapodians. Any suggestions?<br />
<br />
{{User:Whaler on the Moon/sig}} I'd leave Vinnie out - he's probably not Decapodian, but some crab bully from Zoidy's childhood. That would explain why he's still in the puddle. I'd leave out the hermit crab in Deep South, as it's not part of the life cycle.<br />
<br />
What do you think? How's that? {{User:Buddy13/sig}}<br />
<br />
{{User:Whaler on the Moon/sig}}I like it. Perhaps it should be said that the lifecycle shown is probably not complete and that there may well be even more forms. Great work!<br />
<br />
It should also be stated that between the Cuttlefish stage and the mature stage, Decapodians become child-sized humanoids.--[[User:Gonzalo84|Gonzalo84]] 17:40, 4 April 2009 (UTC)<br />

[[file:armpit things.png|thumb|right]]<br />
I've been working on the anatomy part, including some things from more recent episodes (Lethal Inspection, The Prisoner of Benda), but I got stuck on these armpit things (pictured left). What are they? I know they occur on some marinal animals, and they resemble corals, but do they have a name and serve a purpose? Anyone know? [[User:Aki|Aki]] 13:16, 24 August 2010 (CEST)<br />
:They might not even be an actual part of him. Many sea creatures form symbiotic relationships with other organisms like coral or anemones. It's possible that these are some sort of creature that keeps food particles out of his armpits or something... --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 20:32, 8 September 2010 (CEST)<br />

== What the H#LL does THIS mean? ==<br />
<br />
"Decapodian culture shows the traits of being authoritarian and they seem to be strict beings, who do not welcome change to their society. Despite the authoritarian sense in the species' members, many of them are known to flock to other worlds, perhaps in search of a less strict society. It can be assumed that Decapodian society isn't strict in format, but essence of its authoritarianism is uncanny, and as a result the sense stems to its citizens."<br />

'''Space Honey''' is made by the [[Space Bees]]. It is very delicious and precious on [[Earth]], but because of the Space Bees that guard it, it is dangerous to obtain. [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]] said that if you eat three spoonfuls of it at the same time, you fall asleep and never wake up.{{et|4ACV12}} However, he said this during [[Turanga Leela|Leela's]] dream, so it might not be true. (John Zoidberg has seldom provided any accurate information pertaining to health throughout the entire series.)<br />
<br />
At one point, [[Professor Farnsworth]] sent [[Planet Express Crew|his crew]] on a mission to obtain Space Honey for an unknown reason. This mission has been performed by at least one previous crew, as it was the mission that killed the Professor's previous crew. The current crew was successful at obtaining the honey, but a baby queen almost stung Leela in the process, sending her into a hallucination-induced dream sequence that lasted for two weeks. In the dreams, she uses Space Honey multiple times to calm her down and put her to sleep. At one point, she knocked the Space Honey onto a couch where it combined with [[Fry|Fry's]] hair, skin, and blood cells to bring him back to life. However, this probably isn't actually possible. At the end of the sequence, Leela almost puts herself into a permanent slumber with the Space Honey, but Fry convinced her not to. {{et|4ACV12}}<br />
