** In "Near-Death Wish", Fry, who is normally BookDumb at best, correctly points out that ''Film/TheMatrix''-style [[LivingBattery human batteries]] would be horribly inefficient at best and scientifically impossible at worst, since it would take lots of energy just to keep the humans alive, and their bodies would produce almost no power, especially relative to their requirements. Of course, since ''Futurama'' goes with the RuleOfFunny and ItRunsOnNonsensoleum for its style of science, Leela notes that despite sounding like a completely implausible idea, it totally works, going so far as to shove two old people into their vehicle's battery compartment at one point.
