A Fishful of Dollars
Closet Robots: Why are the robots playing cards through the
wall from Fry? Don't they feel silly playing cards in a closet?
Solution by Kyle Williams:
It might not be a closet, they could just have a larger apartment.
Stork times Pyramid: I REALLY doubt that algebra existed in ancient
Egypt.
Solution by mtvcdm - Actually, a guy from ancient Egypt INVENTED algebra.
Saw it in my math book during 5th hour. Really long name. Yet one more reason
to go back in time: Kill that guy.
Brain ads?: Gamma rays would cause severe cancer, and most certainly
could not be used for transmitting ads. Also, it simply wouldn't work
anyway, seeing as thoughts are transmitted through the use of electrical
and chemical impulses.
Demo Pair?: I also REALLY doubt there would be a demo pair of
Lightspeed Briefs, not to mention that the really disgusting demo pair
suddenly turns into a nice clean pair in the change room.
Bad Credit: Even if American Express or Visa existed, Fry's
cards would certainly be expired. Also, why would Discover card still
exist when civilisation was destroyed and replaced by a medieval civilisation,
certainly without credit cards.
Solution by Kyle Williams:
All of civilisation was not destroyed, only the part that Bender and the Swedes fought over.
While you are right about Discover, it is moot because Fry did not use it anyway.
The Big Apple: The Big Apple bank would also have certainly
been destroyed with civilisation. Also, why would they still have an
ATM card machine? Not to mention Fry's ATM card would have expired.
Solution by Kyle Williams:
See Bad Credit above.
Nice Bank!: Firstly, 2.25% interest would certainly not be paid
on a savings account, and also, given Fry's extremely low initial balance,
fees should mean that Fry actually owed a lot of money! Also, the extreme
increase in Fry's wealth would strongly suggest that all prices should
have also risen by a similar amount, and $4.2 billion should not be
too large an amount.
20th Century Apartments?: Given that civilisation was destroyed,
why in the world would original 20th century apartments still be standing?
Even if they were, shouldn't they be buried under the city with the
rest of Old New York?
Old TV?: How in the world would Fry watch anything on his old
TV, when there would certainly be no programming on for it?
Fry Wins?: Why didn't Mom just continue bidding against Fry,
as she would certainly have beaten Fry eventually? It would certainly
be safer than risking him using the anchovies.
The Classics: How would music CDs from the 20th Century still work in
the 31st century? I own newer CDs than that which already are unreliable. Not
to mention his VCR tapes, which would certainly be hopelessly corrupted. Also,
I thought all recordings were destroyed with the second coming of Jesus, as stated
in "When Aliens Attack"?
Partial Solution by mtvcdm - Well, as I hear, a tape lasts 30 years, so
you have a point- the tapes wouldn't come close to making it to the Second Coming
anyway. But if they did, the Professor only said MOST, Not ALL. These tapes apparently
beat the odds.
Oww!: Leela says her ponytail is stuck in the door, but you
can clearly see that when Fry shut the door, her ponytail wasn't even
close to in the right position to get stuck.
Anchovy Oil?: Firstly, I am quite certain the oil in anchovies
is added, and not naturally produced by them. Also, there is nothing
special about the oil, and there is no reason it could not be sythesised
normally, rather than through using the DNA.
Back to the Future: I know Fry is really stupid, but there is no way
he would be gullible enough to fall for Mom's plan.
Solution? by mtvcdm - Since I counted Fry did not notice 11 (!) screw-ups,
he is the biggest idiot I've ever seen who is still able to walk erect. He's dumb
enough for Walt to slip through the cracks.
Nice head!: Why does Pamela Anderson still look just like she
did in 2000? Wouldn't she have certainly aged before her head was preserved?
Solution by Kyle Williams:
She could have been cloned like Washington and Nixon mush have been
The Oil!: Even though Fry and Zoidberg did eat all the anchovies,
there would certainly be a lot of oil and DNA left in the tin, as you
can see when Fry puts the anchovies on the pizza that a lot is still
in the tin, and Zoidberg does not eat the tin.
