SNIF - for some reason, the show started a few minutes late in San Francisco (well, it started three hours and a few minutes late...) and I didn't catch the closing credits - whose voices (besides the three stars) were in that episode?

I'll try to keep this limited to DYNs/whatnot that nobody else mentioned, but since some a.t.f. posts may cross in the Internet, I may be pointing something out that's been mentioned quite a bit...

Whatever the ATF equivalent of DYN is...
...apparently, the entire planet of Mars only has one Blernsball team?
   (Well, maybe there's just a small settlement there, just as Moon
   has the amusement park and some isolated farms.)
...the robot planet (whose name escapes me at the moment) uses a time
   system of 60 minutes per hour (or 60 whatever they call the number
   on the right per whatever they call the number on the left), just
   like on Earth?  (They also used the term "five o'clock", so maybe
   the "founders" used Earth's time system; it was never specified
   how many hours were in a day)
...the ship managed to maintain a synchronous orbit (one where it is
   over the same spot on the planet the entire time) despite the fact
   that there was nobody inside of it to make adjustments?
...in the Blernsball game, the batter was out when the fielder touched
   second base while holding the ball?
...Blernsball is based in part on pinball - when three balls are
   "locked", "multiball" begins?
...speaking of multiball, none of the "multiball" balls are tethered?
...the "human" in the robot movie had claws?
...it's been mentioned quite a few times that when the robots discovered
   Fry and Leela were human, they said "Get the humanoid" in true
   "Berzerk" (ah, the days when it only costs one quarter to play a new
   video game, and the "ones in the back" gave 2 games for a quarter),
   but why wouldn't they say "get the humans" if it's humans they hate?
   ("Because it's not a joke any more, is it?")

IF YOU WANT TO GET TECHNICAL... Aluminum bats are "traditional" in baseball; as far as I know, the only organization that does not allow it is USA's major leagues (and associated minor league systems). I think USA is also the only country where professional baseball players don't compete on the Olympic team - I wonder what would happen if McGwire would show up in Sydney with a metal bat?

Don Del Grande, [email] At least there weren't any "Hey, the stupid San Francisco station didn't show Futurama last night" posts...yet...
