Good News, Everyone!

Propmaster - staff writer

Futurama just may be returning with new episodes. Word is that there will be four straight to DVD movies made. The Sydney Morning Herald reports "Three months ago, I would have said we were going to start tomorrow," says writer David X. Cohen, who collaborated with Groening on Futurama. "And one month ago I would also have said we were going to start tomorrow. So ..." He pauses. "My current estimate is that we're starting tomorrow."

Speaking of Futurama, have you seen the episode where Dr. Farnsworth bet on a horse race? The race was so close that it had a "quantum finish". Dr. Farnsworth protested by saying, "That's not fair! You changed the results by measuring them!" Funny, that sounds like what I was told by my electronics engineering professors when I tried to convince them of the accuracy of my current measurements. I never thought I would ever find a practical use for quantum theory. What fun that "quantum theory" stuff is, huh?
