I was watching Spanish Fry (4ACV17) today, and near the beginning when Fry gets pulled up into the alien ship, he notices the license plate...above "probe 1" is some alien text (4 letters then 5 - I can't make out what's in the colored stickers, at least till the DVD comes out), but some of the characters don't seem to be in the AL2 character set (as seen on gotfuturama.com and elsewhere)...I tried looking at it backwards, sideways, etc, but some wouldn't be in it in any orientation; others look Japanese. Has anyone had any luck in deciphering that? (I can post or email a small gif of the characters if anyone wants...) Thanks, Matt Garvey

Actually, i've deciphered 19 of the letters so far. Interesting enough, if you read the opening comment on Spanish Fry, it's entirely in Alien Language, and using other episodes as a reference, i've deciphered it and it states "Thanks for watching, Futurama slave army!" So far, the capitalization of letters dont seem to differ from the lower cased ones. If you want i can send a gif with the letters and their corresponding alien letters.

As for the coloured areas on the license plate, i also can't seem to make out what it says.

I know AL1 (the more frequently used one, that says [with improper punctuation] thanks for watching...) and I know AL2 almost as well (I have to refer to a diagram of the letters still) - it looks like the license plate is in some odd variant of AL2 or Japanese or something.

Goto www.gotfuturama.com and find the encoder/decoder page for both alien languages. Look along leftside.

Yes, yes, I've been there...I'm saying that these particular symbols don't seem to be among any of those given.
