* In "The Beast With A Billion Backs", Bender has to trade his first born son to the Robot Devil for an army of robots to conquer the Earth. Why does the Robot Devil ask for Bender's son instead of say his soul? He asked Bender in an earlier episode if he came back to Robot Hell to resume his eternal punishment, meaning Bender's soul (or the robotic equal) is still condeemed to Hell and the Robot Devil already has it.
* In "lrreconcilable Ndndifferences", the crew build a new statue of liberty. Why was this one not in "the late Phillip J. Fry"? It was a consequence of Frys doing. Fry didn't exist in that future.

to:

* In "The Why of Fry" we learn that the reason why he can save the universe is because he is his own grandfather. This wouldn't have happened if he went into the future. Previously, in "Anthology of Interest" the "what if" universe gets destroyed because Fry didn't go into the future.

* In 'The Lesser of Two Evils', the crew visit the Past-o-rama show, which showcased the world of the 20th/21st century. However, to the viewer, one can see many anachronisms, including Einstein in a balloon, and cowboys chasing mammoths, so obviously, it is not a... perfect rendition. But why? Because over 1000 years has passed, and the information they would have had on our era - at best - would be incomplete due to 1000 years of erosion, weathering and other factors. Do we know really that much about the dark ages?

Fry then said that it would take a genius to count all those rings, right before the doctor told him that, according to the rings, Nibbler is five. The joke is probably that Fry was too stupid to count five rings, but later in the series, we found out that Nibbler is [[spoiler: older than the universe]], and [[spoiler: Fry has a "special" brain.]] It could be that Fry actually saw billions of rings, while the doctor only saw five, because [[spoiler: Fry is the only one who are supposed to know that Nibblonians are an ancient race, and therefore only he sees billions of rings.]]
