Did You Notice...

    ... the episode starts on September 21st, 3002?

    ... the 48-star American flag?

    ... Zoidberg apparently has a number of redundant organs?

    ... Mildred has the Ten Commandments on her wall?

    ... the conspiracy nut's photo of the Planet Express ship,
        which has that trademark Groening overbite, came out
        looking like the Loch Ness Monster, which has the same
        overbite?

    ... the "Zoidberg skull" drawn next to the "Roswell That
        Ends Well" graffiti on the missile?

Adam Kennedy:
    ... they had a "Hard Croon" cafe because rock didn't exist
	yet?
