Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Less Than Hero (series 5)

Entry Leela told Fry not to tell anyone his real identity, but she shouts out his name when they are in the museum. [She's under stress and she forgets. It happens.]

Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch (series 5)

Entry In the series 3 episode "Amazon women in the mood", the Amazons use all males for "snoo-snoo" until they die. In that episode they take Kif into their dressing-room-like booths and seemingly snoo-snoo him. However, in this episode we learn that Kif's people don't have genitalia. They reproduce by directly absorbing DNA through their skins. What exactly are the Amazons DOING to Kif, given the lack of sex organs? [Just because they reproduce asexually doesn't mean they don't have any genitalia. Also, if I remember that episode, she couldn't catch Kif, so she never got the chance to "do" anything.]
Entry When Kiff tells Zap and the Planet Express Crew how he became pregnant, he says that he absorbed DNA through his skin and Fry comments that anyone of them could be the man-mom but Kiff only actually touches Leela skin to skin apart from Amy - He grabbed Leela's arm, Fry's pants, Bender's leg (he doesn't count because he has RNA, not DNA) and Zapp's uniform. [Gross as it sounds, your clothing is absolutely crawling with epitheleals - detached skin cells. You shed your entire skin every twenty days. Each cell has your full DNA complement, and Kif could easily absorb it from that.]
Entry When they are all in the thing that spins them around to see who will be the father/mother of the baby, Zoidberg is not in the machine, but somehow he flies out. [This is explained very clearly in the episode. When Zoidberg is ejected the Professor asks him what he was doing in there and Zoidberg answers: "That's where I live. I have no home." So Zoidberg was already in the machine before the others enter. (Probably hiding under the grated floor.)]

A Taste of Freedom (series 5)

Entry Zoidberg said here that he has three hearts, but in the Roswell episode he said he had four. [Zoidberg tells the US soldiers that they can "keep it (the heart they pull out during the autopsy), I've got three more", so he did have four, but lost one for good.]
Entry Fry has lives in the 30th Century for three years and Freedom Day is an annual thing, so how come he's only just discovered it? [Fry is an idiot. Maybe he was watching TV all day on the previous two Freedom Days, or is just dumb enough to have forgotten.]

The Route of All Evil (series 5)

Entry Awsome Express deliver 1,000,000 newspapers a day. The phone call Leela answered was someone who hadn't gotten their paper in at least two days (Leela exclaimed "How long?"). However, when the dumped, missing papers are delivered by Planet Express, they deliver only once to each of the houses and they stay in the original area where Awsome Express used to deliver, yet somehow they finished delivering at least 1,000,000 papers. [It's not inconceivable that they made several runs, delivering the papers in order of printing (First one run with Tuesday's paper, then one with Wednesday's, etc). It would be a lot easier than to sort everything into bundles of three papers for every customer. And just because you don't see them delivering to more than the original area, it does not mean that they don't.]

Jurassic Bark (series 5)

Entry During the flashback, Fry's shadow can be seen along with Nibbler's when the chair falls over. Fry didn't go back in time until "The Why of Fry", so anything that happened before this episode should only show Nibbler's shadow. [Not true, it was always Fry who caused himself to go into the future. Even though it doesn't happen until later on in the series, he still travelled back in time to the beginning of the series.]
Entry The final scene shows Seymour lying down and closing his eyes for the last time. However, the fossil Seymour is standing on all fours. [This isn't when Seymour dies. In the Futurama movie, "Bender's Big Score", Fry goes back in time and lives in the apartment above the pizza place he works at. When Bender tries to kill Fry by blowing up the apartment, the blast wave instantly fossilizes Seymour.]
Entry In the final part of the "tear-jerker" sequence at the end, the pizza shop owner is seen to be elderly and walking with a stick. The sequence starts the day after Fry was frozen (when the pizza shop owner appeared to be middle aged) and is only supposed to last 12 years - the pizza shop owner ages too fast. [We don't know how old he is to begin with, or what illnesses he has suffered from over the years. He may have been 60 to start with, and there is a quite significant change in most people between 60 and 72. He may have been in a car crash, developed a debilitating disease, anything.]

Crimes of the Hot (series 5)

Entry A film shows that global warming was temporarily stopped by dropping ice into the sea. However, in 'Xmas Story', Leela says 'nuclear winter' cancelled out global warming. [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.]
