Correction: True, but remember that the people of the year 3000 also believe that ancient humans hunted whales on the moon and that cars were made using robots with giant clubs. The show has proven itself to not know exactly what did happen (Except for the second coming of Jesus) in the past 1,000 years on a consistent basis.

Correction: Remember occasionally one of the kids lives inside Bender's body.

Hell is Other Robots - S1-E9

Corrected entry: When Fry and Leela go into Robot Hell, Nibbler leads the way. But when Bender rescues them and they fly away with him and his angel wings, Nibbler is not there - They've forgotten him. However, sure enough, he's back next episode.

Correction: Nibbler did not in fact fall down the chutes with Fry and Leela. Therefore, he probably just left the fairground on his own (don't forget, he is actually very intelligent).

Steve Cowan

Correction: Fry is an idiot. I'm sure he's stupid enough to try to get out of the way of dust that can't hit him.

A Flight to Remember - S2-E1

Corrected entry: When Bender in with the other robot he is wearing a bow-tie that is magnetic. During the second episode he tells the rest of the crew that magnets make him sing show-tunes. Wouldn't he want to avoid having a magnet on him?

Correction: Bender is only affected by magnets when they are placed on or near his head.

Episode Two: The Series Has Landed - S1-E2

Corrected entry: When they launch to the moon, the ship takes off and arrives at the moon in about 1.5 seconds, at about twice the speed of light. As they are still in Earth's atmosphere, the ship would be, as a result, slamming into air molecules at twice the speed of light. Even at 90% the speed of light, something coming into contact with another molecule would fuse that molecule with the object and send out a huge burst of gamma radiation, tearing apart that molecule and filling the air with plasma. If such a takeoff was to happen in real life, the air molecules that the Planet Express Ship contacts would result in a plasma wall so huge that New York would be leveled, and the ship would just be dust.

Correction: As is specified in later episodes the Planet Express spaceship doesn't move anywhere - it bends space around it. Anyone trying to argue the physics of such a procedure is, quite frankly, wasting their time.

Agreed, the episode in question goes into details about the physics required too.

Correction: Given that there is centuries worth of technological advancement as well as tech from alien cultures, we cannot say that there aren't advances that make it safe.

30% Iron Chef - S4-E11

Corrected entry: After Dr. Zoidberg accidentally breaks the bottle in half, he drops the bottom half on the ground. You hear the sound of glass breaking. Yet later he has both halves on the table, and the bottom half is completely whole.

Kathy Tjarks

Correction: Considering the self-fixing teacup and saucer shown in "The Cryonic Woman," it's not hard to believe that it was a self-fixing bottle.

If it would fix itself, then the Professor wouldn't need to be worried about Zoidberg touching it.

Fear of a Bot Planet - S1-E5

Corrected entry: In the scene with the judge, while he is "judging", he crashes. You can see that the judge is a Macintosh, running MacOS, yet one of the robots in the audience suggests pressing ctrl + alt + delete to fix him - this would only work if he was a PC, and not a Mac.

Correction: Character mistake, the ctrl alt delete is a common technique most computer users use to restart computers and many wouldn't consider the fact that its not useable on a MAC only on a PC.

Lummie

Rebirth - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: As the power builds up in Bender, his left eye pops out, making him a cyclops, subsequently being eaten by the Cyclops eater. After the monster dies, Bender comes out, and has two eyes in the long shot, but puts his left eye back in the close up.

Answer: The initial number is 0101100101 = 357. When reflected in a mirror, however, it reads 1010011010 = 666 (the number of the Beast). It is a parody of The Shining, where the words Red Rum are seen as the word murder in the mirror.
