Every now and then our universe collides with one of the other 10^100
universes that are out there and a little bit leaks through. :)

Professor Farnsworth: "I made this universal translator, but it only
translates to some dead language."
Fry: "Hello"
Machine: "Bonjour"

(Or something like that.. I don't remember verbatim)

In the pilot episode of Futurama, Fry falls into the cryogenic storage
just at midnight Dec 31, 1999. They show the countdown to New Years in
various cities around the world and the countdown is in the native
language of each. When Fry is re-awakened, its Dec 31, 2999. They show
the New Years celebration around the world again, but the countdown in
Paris is in English. Apparently Groening stuck it to the French in a
number of places in various episodes.

I got a kick out of the time they went to a 3-D movie, with the
glasses; Leela says, "That's odd - mine don't seem to be working",
as she moves the glasses back and forth, looking through each
filter in turn, with her one eye. ;-)

Cheers!
