Is 'Anthology of Interest I' episode, the Futurama equivalent of the Simpson's Treehouse of Horror episodes? Because it reminded me of those TOH when I watched it- plus it had some horror factors...

[edit] Are dice rolled in conversasions in D&D

My understanding is that they are rolled to determine the outcome of a certain action (such as does your attack hit your enemy or miss) in this episode the joke is that the dice are rolled to determine the outcome of his meeting with Fry, apparently the results were good. Does that help? Stardust8212 03:40, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Though I've only played the game once (And swore to never even go near another game), I'm pretty sure conversations don't involve dice roles, unless one character in the conversation is a non-player character. The show was just mocking how extreme the use of dice roles are. JBK405 03:58, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cubert Farnsworth

Cubert wasn't created to be Professor's heir,the professor mentioned he was an old experiment.

[edit] Continuity and connection to "Rosswell that ends well"

I made some changes —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.38.10.72 (talk) 23:54, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tipper Gore

Under "Production", there is a "citation needed" tag. I'd add the reference, but I don't have time to learn how to add a citation for the sake of an article about a cartoon stating a well known fact. (Come on people, it was only a lightweight TV comedy, not a hotly contested political article! And so was Futurama... boom boom.) I only have time to write this and let someone else fill in the blanks. Book: "Raising PG Kids in an X-Rated Society" by Tipper Gore, suitable quote at http://www.urbin.net/EWW/polyticks/tipper.html.--Rfsmit (talk) 19:58, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
