Hi,

I was just reading the capsule for 1ACV03 (It'll be aired in Germany in 4 days) and I noticed that Bender's room number (00100100b / 36) is the ASCII code for "quot; - is this just a coincidence, or is there more (a sign for Benders cleptomania?)

The other rooms: 00100001 - 33 - "!" 00111001 - 87 - "W" (doesn't make any sense to me)

<?php /* Georg Lukas */ $a = " GHLPPW[]aacdeeiinpprrtzeipbgcfhjadmqyouzkxvrsntwl"; for ($i=0; $i*2<strlen($a); $i++) $r[$a[$i+26]]=$a[$i]; for ($i='a'; $i<='z'; $i++) echo $r[$i]; ?>

Does it have to? Perhaps, just perhaps it is just a random collection of ones and zeros.

I think Benders room was intentional. Good find! Given the other math / computer references they've used, I doubt they'd leave it to chance.

As for 'W!' it's hard to say. Perhaps, there were more rooms and it spells out a word, but the scene got cut short in editing. Or maybe they just used numbers at random.

No, it's not. (Unless you were making a joke that I didn't get.)

"Subliminal" is correct. See http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict1&Query=subliminal

I believe that G W! B mispronounced it as "subliminable" last week...

He did. He pronounced it that way twice!

Vote for Al Gore in 2000! He's the only major party candidate that's not George W. Bush.

Plus, out of all the candidates, only Al Gore is doing his part to protect the space-time continuum. Sure, George Dubya Shrub SAYS he's for perserving the space-time continuum, but what has he DONE?

subliminable: 1) Able to be influenced by subliminal messages. 2) Able to contain subliminal messages.

I will send you a check for $10 if you can provide ONE dictionary containing that "word".

It is in at least one dictionary, but it belongs to George W. Also, it's written in the margin in crayon. Would that count?

BUT, he didn't use it in that context. He was obviously trying to say subliminal and it came out as subliminable.

Can't disagree with you there.
