Simpsons references in Futurama.

I was wondering if there have been any references to The Simpsons made in Futurama? Considering The Simpsons are a pretty big cultural icon of the 20th/21st century and Matt Groening created both shows, I would expect at least something like a picture of The Simpsons family hanging in some future museum on Futurama.

In the episode in series 4 where lela discovers her parents (I think) they are in the sewers and eventually leave via a balloon, if you listen to the mutant he actually says Bart simpsons leg or something to that effect makes up part of the balloon, and have you seen the shape of benders head? ;)

Another more obvious is on "A Big Piece of Garbage" episode, there is a bunch of Bart Simpson dolls on the garbage ball. Fry looks in piles of garbage and says

"It's not filth. It's a glourious monument to the achievements of the 20th century.... Some Bart Simpson dolls! " (he finds a pile of them).

In "A Big Piece of Garbage" from the first season, Bart Simpson dolls are found in said garbage.

Bart: "Eat my shorts." Bender: "Okay."

I know Bender has made a small apperance in a couple of Simpson episodes (can't recall off-hand, but I think they were doing a phone in with different animated characters from around fox, I think it was when they cancelled Family Guy)

That is the episode when homer donates a large ammount of money to public tv to get them to air a British commedy. They try to get the money off homer, but he can't pay up. So Rv. Lovejoy sends him to some old island as a missionary. Anyway, on the phones (when they donate the money) you see Bender in the very top left. you also see Fox from X-Files. guy from the PJ's, Family Guy and basically all the shows victum to Fox's evil dooings.

Or, in the case of some shows which will remain unnamed, victim to just plain *sucking*. :)

Blinky, the three-eyed fish appears in "Space Pilot 3000."

=v= Or, perhaps, his progeny, who made the arduous journey from Springfield to New New York. Blinky himself was done in by Marge and her kitchen implements. <_Jym_>

The point is the three-eyed fish was a simpsons reference.
