Heh, that's right, I forgot that.
It's like that old trick - which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound
of lead?

Ok, am I the only one who doesn't see the purpose of the copious DYNs?
Occasionally there will be a good one, but how the HELL could you not notice
that the captain can't pronounce "champaigne" for Christ's sake? And dark
matter powers the ship? Yeah, totally slipped my attention. Thanks for the
insight Jeremy.
Regards,

How about that Nibbler consumed many, many times his weight in
other animals from Vergon 6, and excreted a tremendously dense
"dark matter" pellet, yet Leela could still easily hold him?
Actually, I liked this episode a lot. Dr. Zoidberg got a couple
of really great lines, Kif was hilarious, and Bender didn't have
to carry all the humor.
ObDYN: Zapp Branigan's ship is called the "Nimbus".

Also, Nibbler dropped his pellet in a litterbox that appeared from
nowhere.

So each pound of darkmatter weighs 100,000,000, and also weighs
1,000,000,000,000 pounds. Wiggy.

Well maybe they figured the other animals could take turns using it on the
return trip :)

It's a cartoon. Everything appears from nowhere (or Bender's
chest compartment).
Here's a real DYN:
Leela's animal checklist
O purple fruit snake
O sharktopus
O chilean space bass
O parasitic puppy
O gretchen mole
O vampire slug
O excommunicated cardinal
O four-legged mimic
O molotov cockatoo
O hermaphlamingo
Of these we appear to have seen the purple fruit snake, the
four-legged mimic, and the hermaphlamingo.

Don't forget the Windy Shrimp.

It was one of those things that simply had to occur in order for the
plot to move forward.
I mean, in Ep#2, Bender lifts Amy's wallet and liberates the contents,
yet she has enough money to get all the toys out of the toy machine.
Why is that?
I notice a lot of times in both The Simpsons and Futurama, a lot of plot
holes are included for the sake of a joke.

You mean to tell me that unlike certain Warner Bros. cartoons, most
household don't contain a readily available supply of dynamite, anvils,
and sledgehammers? Sheesh!
Bender's chest compartment is looking to become the modern equivalent to
Harpo Marx's jacket!

You forgot to list the "wind shrimp"! (Or whatever it was called.)

And I just don't get it. Is there a joke here? Is there somebody named
Gretchen in mole folklore? Eh?
CountV
Gretchen Moll is an up and coming actress. I only remember her playing Matt
Damon's girlfriend in "Rounders", but I know she's done a few more movies.
She cute.

Nah, she's an actress. She was featured in the movie "Rounders". She
was also on the cover of an issue of Vanity Fair wearing a very
transparent dress.
