Ten Far Flung Facts About Futurama
The future worlds brought to life by our favorite sci-fi franchises are generally either bright and technologically advanced or dark and apocalyptic, and yet somehow Futurama manages to be both.
There are bright elements, like the overabundance of owls on the streets of New New York, and futuristic elements, like signs written in seemingly alien languages and drunken robots like Bender. The dark and apocalyptic? Poplers, Slurm and sewer mutants, just to name a few.
Simply watching Futurama won't help you discover all the secrets hidden in every episode, you have to do some digging and go behind the scenes of the show to discover all the mysteries hidden in plain sight.
Or you can watch this informative video created by Top10Memes and discover a thing or ten about the fantastic world of Futurama in about eight minutes!

Slurs against lifestyles/sexual preferences aside, 'talking like a pirate' is an invention of hollywood.
Look it up.
You might as well have talk like an Ewok day.
Yub yub!
Talk Like a Pirate Day comes from Dave Barry's book a few years back... wiki it, scallywags.

(And for those that would dismiss it as a lame fad, I grew up in California, but this was hardly Hollywood's doing. For a long while this was an underground geek thing to do, not exactly "cool", then the Pirates of the Caribbean movies came out, and pirates were suddenly in. Go figure. Mostly though, then, as now, it's just good, somewhat crusty fun if you have some suitably goofy and creative friends. Linguistic inventiveness and a overflow of rrrrrr's is a must.)
- I am Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate.
- Look! A three-headed monkey!
- You fight like a dairy Neatorama author!
Stupid Darwinists. Go crawl back in your monkey cave
Instant Yarrrrr!
(And guybrush- 'I can see a diorama of of all the children in the world, all happy and living in peace. No, wait')
On that belated note, I am off to make ye a Neatorama diorama.
YAAARRRRR!
Is it stupid? Yes. But who cares? It's fun!
(says a total ninja supporter)
YE SCURVY DOGS!
(Techincally, it's no lnger TLaP Day, but I celebrate all 24 hours, and I wake up real late.)
