Courtesy of 'Fry' on the Futurama Outlet message board, here's what it seems to say:
THE FOLLOWING SPECIES ARE INELIGIBLE: SPACE WASPS, SPACE BEAVERS, ANY OTHER ANIMAL WITH THE WORD "SPACE" IN FRONT, SPACE CHICKENS AND THE ELUSIVE YAK-FACE.
Fun-ny! The "elusive Yak Face" is a Star Wars reference: Yak Face is the one action figure never sold in America, only on overseas markets, and stateside collectors pay through the nose for 'em.
Funny indeed. To give more detail, Yak Face was the final 3 3/4" Star Wars action figure released in the original Kenner toy series, which ran from 1978 to 1985. The character was one of several obscure background aliens from Return of the Jedi, seen only in a few frames of the movie, that was nevertheless honored with an action figure. Two years after the final episode in the trilogy hit the big screen, the toy line was discontinued due to lagging sales, as more heavily promoted toys like G.I.Joe and Transformers took its place on store shelves. The final new figure, Yak Face, was the only one who never made it into case assortments for U.S. distribution. Now Yak Face sells for $150 loose, in mint condition, and upwards of $500 still sealed in his original multi-language package. The price for one in the much rarer U.S.-language package is hundreds more. Fans on a budget may be glad to know that a similarly sized, but newly sculpted action figure of the character was produced in 1997 as part of the second Star Wars action figure line, and can be commonly purchased for about $5.00.

well if you look on doctor zoidberg's eye chart, you can get the q. it says "no squinting four eyes".
