Bender couldn't have flushed his chest down the toilet, it wouldn't have fitted. [We never see Bender flush his chest. His chest could have been broken down into component parts that would fit and then reassembled. It might be unlikely that he put himself back together correctly (since he said he threw away his instruction manual), but flushing his chest down the toilet is not out of theoretical possibility.]
When Leela and Fry find Bender in the sewer, he doesn't have his head on right and one of his legs and an arm is attached in the wrong place. He says that he can't put himself together properly because he threw away his instruction manual. In every other episode he can reattach his head, legs or arms with no problem. [However in every other episode Bender is only reattaching one specific limb or his head - in the sewer he had to reattach all four limbs plus his head, a much harder proposition.]
At the planet with the Slurm, when they first meet Slurms MacKenzie, Fry gets some goo on his hand. He wipes it off on his pants and when he is doing so, the goo just disappears from picture. (It doesn't even fade a little). [How do we know how Slurm reacts with the fabric of Fry's clothes? We don't know the properties of either.]
When everyone is floating towards the waterfall, the rock that saves them appears out of nowhere. [You can see it in the other shots, especially when Bender and the rest of ERR go over the edge. Its just a little below the water-line so you can't see it from water level.]

In one scene Bender mentions that there is a chapter of his old fraternity, Epsilon Rho Rho. The letters on the house are "ERR". However, the Greek Letter for Rho is a "P". [And a thousand years in the future, after alien invasions have laid waste to the entire planet (twice.), the ice caps have melted and refrozen, and our grasp of history is such that we think that the moon was colonized by Jackie Gleeson and the crew of a whaling vessel, that little-known fact has been lost. Go figure.]
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? [Bender is only affected by magnets when they are placed on or near his head.]
The Professor tells Fry that in the future they've done away with concepts of modesty and proceeds to walk around naked most of the show but when he sleeps with Mom they both pull the sheet up when the gang burst in and the Professor walks around with a sheet wrapped around him, as does Mom. [Professor Farnsworth is also the ONLY one to claim that modesty has been done away with and to walk around naked. This is most likely something that only goes on in the Professor's brilliant but slightly foggy mind.]

Bender adopts 12 kids, yet in several scenes, there are only 11. [Remember occasionally one of the kids lives inside Bender's body.]
They say the blind guy is now deaf, but if he was blind and deaf, how did he just walk up and know it was Leela? [Sense of smell perhaps? It's often said that when people lose a sense, they learn to use the others better.]
When the Planet Express spaceship approaches the Orbiting Graveyard, both the inner and outer doors of the airlock open at the same time. Since the graveyard is pressurised and we can see there are no other doors, that is going to cause some problems. [Futurama tries to keep scientifically accurate from time to time but many times bends this either for comedy or simply it doesn't matter to the storyline. For example the creator's admitted that it would be impossible for many of the famous heads to still be around in the year 3000, but they didn't care because it was funny.]

When the episode shows how Professor Farnsworth had the table attached to the wall, how is Leela able to stay on it? It was very clear that she wasn't tied down like everyone else was. [While you can't see the rope that ties Leela to the chair like everyone else, if you watch she unties herself right before she falls into a pile with everyone.]
The parachute Fry opens just before he hits the ground disappears when he starts riding the ball away. [Just prior to riding the ball, Fry is covered by about 9-12 balls. In that time, he could have cut the parachute lines.]
The 3 coloured balls Bender and Kissinger are talking to move position several times - instantly, particularly the purple and blue ones on the outside. [Watch the scene. They are floating about aimlessly all the time. Of course they change places.]
When we see Bender become a 'were-car' in one shot we see a bumper sticker on him saying 'If you can read this, I've run you over.' But it's not there for any other shots. [For Bender to become a Were-Car his body mass must increase about eightfold. So, he can form things (wheels, engines, seats, seatbelts and so on) from nothing. If he can create them spontaneously, he can destroy them just the same way.]
When Leela has finished welding Bender to the wall, in the next shot (when she takes the mask off) the welder itself has simply vanished. [She drops it into the bag behind her.]
When they land on the forbidden planet they crash and are upside down but when they are leaving the ship is in perfect condition. [When the ship crashes, the only part that is damaged are the rear thrusters and fin, both of which are replaced with parts from the Enterprise to escape (Takai and Leela explaining what one had working Life Support while the other had working Engines).]
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. [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.]
In this episode, robot homosexuals are referred to as "romos". However, in the first episode, it's referred to as "robosexuals", so that would logically mean that it could be cut down to "robos", so why does a robo suddenly mean a robot hobo? ["Robosexual" refers to people who have sex with robots (like in the Lucy Liu episode), whereas "romos" are homosexual robots.]

Blurnsball in this episode isn't played at all like the Blurnsball in the episode "Fear of a Bot Planet" except for a few similarities (like the ball on an elastic cord). [Blurnsball is shown to be an extremely complicated game (by our standards anyway) as there is so much that can happen. It's quite possible that every game played is completely different in terms of what happens. In "Fear oF A Bot Planet" for example, the ball is "locked" and multiball is engaged (like in a pinball machine). In this episode, the ball isn't locked, so none of that would happen. It seems to be pure luck for the ball to be locked in that way (and presumably the scooter driving round the track is a sort of tradition for that kind of score/point).]

After the 80's guy dies, Fry decides to vote against selling the company to Mom. 80's guy owned 51% of the shares while Mom and her sons owned the rest, putting the "Yes" option at 99.99% (one son made an error). But when Fry votes "No", Mom's 49% has swapped over to the "No" option to give it 100%- indicating Mom didn't want the sale to go through either. [The 49% in the "No" section was from the rest of Planet Express voting against selling the company. Mom tells Fry he's an idiot for wanting to choose not to sell, and leaves the stage during Fry's speech about making the Professor CEO again. Therefore her 49.99% was removed from the "Yes" before Fry even voted, leaving the 49% in "No" from Amy, Leela, Bender, and Hermes from earlier.]
