At the beginning of Professor Farnsworth's first flashback, Zoidberg is shown [[HairTodayGoneTomorrow with a full head of hair]], to the surprise of the listeners -- but the Professor replies "I never said he had hair! You are the ones who decided to imagine him that way!"

* AnimalisticAbomination: The Space Whale--it's a four-dimensional being capable of ripping into the fabric of space-time so it can break into the three-dimensional realm, has a digestive system that defies the laws of physics and is implied to be a living manifestation of frenzied obsession. This might be a nod to the original Moby Dick, who was also interpreted by some (both in the book and out) as being this.
