Have anyone catch the pharse, "LIVE From Onicron Persei 8" on there? That what we got for mixing up the credits last week!

And, yes, that WAS Bart, Lisa & Maggie in the big screen! It's from the Ullman Short, "Making Faces" (MG09). It's the part at the end, where they were looking at the mirror, crying out, "WARRGH!!! WE'RE DOOMED!!!"

And, speaking of Simpsons, when Fry said, "I like those odds", he said it just like Homer did in "Lisa's First Word" (9F08), when Krusty offered to personally spit on every 50th Krusty Burger at the final day of the 1984 Olympics. That's my all-time favorite Simpsons episode, BTW.

Does anyone know if Onicron Persei 8 is a reference to something? Seems like I've heard of that planet somewhere before.

There's an actual star named "Atik", in the constellation Pleiades, that's also known as Omicron Persei. I imagine that if this star has any orbiting bodies, one might be called #8.

Ya I caught that stuff. I have pointed out many more lil things that I was finding mildly amusing on this newsgroup, and more subtle, I just try to keep them to myself so people don't realize my inner dork.

This post really had me confused for a couple secs. This IS a Simpsons newsgroup, and although I don't have a problem with discussing Futurama in here, a heading or OT warning of some sort would be nice. Errm, or less confusing.

Ochlocrat and yeah I admit to being confused. I havent seen the Futurama episode, I thought I musta missed a really weird non sequitur in the simpsons.
