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.

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.
