Just how closely did you pay attention to Futurama?

Even in spite of having the gargantuan shadow of The Simpsons to battle against, Futurama has earned itself a loyal army of fans since Philip J. Fry first got frozen. 140 episodes later and fans are still just as in love with the show, counting down the days until its 2023 return.
Over ten seasons (depending on who you ask), there have been wonderful stories told about wonderful characters, with audiences forming connections with just about every aspect of the show. Even those that would call themselves superfans however, may not have been able to appreciate everything.
Matt Groening’s second show is incredibly nerdy, it embraces crazy science and the most sci-fi of off-the-wall inventions, and as well as creating a future in the year 3000, it filled the preceding 1000 years with history in a weird way. All this to say, there are incredibly specific details in Futurama that have likely gone completely under the radar.
Sure, you claim to love Dr. Zoidberg, but do you know how old he is? Did you spot Wernstrom’s potential link to one of New New York’s supervillains? How about a prophecy that never quite came to be explained? How many of these tiny details did you catch?
