TV Did you need more proof that Futurama is awesome? No? Here's some anyway!
So, every so often a sci-fi show references legitimate science and math to give themselves a bit of background and legitimacy. Now, one of the things I love most about Futurama is that they not only make references, they quite often give evidence to show that they've done their homework. It's a quantum finish! No fair, you changed the outcome by measuring it!

Anyway, they've managed to completely top themselves this time because they've now produced a legitimate mathematical theorem for the sole purpose of using it in the show.

I hope that writer got a raise or something.

Check the date on the article. This, while totally awesome, is old news.

So... New season starts tonight!

If you read Cracked, there's an article where they describe the two languages Futurama has created for the show.

...New Futurama tonight was glorious. Second episode was a little substandard, but the first had me in a fetal position from being traumatized and laughing at the same time.
