     Man . . . this show is really hitting it's stride. A recent episode
     switched

     between current day (the year 3000) where Fry is trying to locate a
     lucky

     seven leafed clover, and the 20th Century, where we see Fry and his
     older

     brother engaging in bitter sibling rivalry. Fry discovers that his
     brother

     eventually stole his identity after he'd disappeared, and fulfilled all

     his extravagant plans.

     Or so it seems.

         Good one . . . but I'd vote for the "Fry gets parasites" episode.
         Great

         ambiguous SF message, trippy music video sequence from an instrument
         that

         could have dropped out of a Bester novel, and a Fantastic Voyage
         homage

         too.

         I find myself wishing there was a Futurama comic, so I could write
         for it.

              I think the "Fry gets parasites" episode was in 2001, but I
              could be

              mistaken. I'll have to check the website...

                   If there's any useful information on the web site, I
                   couldn't find it.

                   All I got was an animated graphic.

         That was really quite touching... especially for a grave robbery!

         I was thinking that Fry could really have used that clover on New
         Year's Eve

         when he got frozen, but I then realized that getting frozen was the
         best thing

         that ever happened to him. He always wanted to work in space with a
         sexy alien

         woman and have a robot best friend: one might say that the clover
         was bringing

         him good luck in the most expedient "Teela Brown"-fashion.
