futurama strikes again

Huh? That's an original series Star Trek reference.

Confirmed.

Actually, it was used in a Simpson's episode - Deep Space Homer (the one where he eats potato chips in zero G). Pretty close to futurama, I suppose.
So there's now a secondary reference...

The quote originates in the ToS episode 'Gamesters of Triskellon'. Quatloos as a betting medium were again referenced in the Futurama episode 'Where No Fan Has Gone Before' which was nothing but an homage/send up of ToS. I guess Matt Groening loves him some Star Trek. So everyone wins!

I just realized that Marigold was trying to hold it in for the sake of make-outs.
That only makes my cry of "Damnit, Jeph!" even more emphatic!
And now Hannelore has more evidence for her argument that kissing is gross.
...
You know, if QC continues on for another 2000 strips, literally every reply in the forums at that stage will be pointing out an in-joke or previously established trivia from the distant past. :P
Y:
I guess the space janitor will have fun tracking down every vomit particle.

They'll fall somewhere after a pretty short time. It is microgravity not zero-gravity.
The killer for me here is she knew going to microgravity was a bad idea and didn't warn him.
