Grr. When I quote, I want to do it right. Errata Dr. Banjo’s line begins “And I remind you, evolution is merely a theory…” ---

I didn’t realize this when I saw the episode first, but the ending actually has a nice nod to Godfellas, when god tells bender “when you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.” Too bad the writers didn’t throw in a reference to that episode. Its lesser known to Futurama fans then The Sting and Luck of the Fryish, and all the other master pieces, but it is an excellent episode in its own right.
