The Day the Earth Stood Stupid

\”Just thought I\’d point out that last night’s episode of Futurama was partially set in a library. Seems Fry was the only \”person\”; not affected by a brain invasion that made everybody stupid. When he went looking for the \”BIG BRAIN\”; the place he thought he would find it was the Library. Sure enough, it was there and he used several literary classics to curb its powers and destroy it. The funniest part (you had to really watch to catch it) was the stereotypical librarian who was trying to shelve a book and was trying to put it back on the shelf horizontally instead of vertically. That only lasted a few seconds, but I thought it was a hoot. Hope others that didn\’t see the episode will get a chance to see it later.

Below is the info about the actual episode.
