Thanks for the info, Jim--I don't watch the show, so I wouldn't have known. As long as they give Ben respect, that's cool... (They =were= giving him respect, right?:confused: )

[INDENT][Bender and Fry in Benders apartment - which is a very small closet]
Bender: [while sleeping] Kill all humans, kill all humans, must kill all hu...
Fry: [shakes him] Bender wake up.
Bender: I was having the most wonderful dream. I think you were in it.
Fry: Listen, Bender, uh... where's your bathroom?
Bender: Bath-what?
Fry: Bathroom.
Bender: What room?
Fry: Bathroom.
Bender: What what?
Fry: Aaah, never mind.[/INDENT]

I wish I could...
KRW Wrote:I'll second that Kenji, Bender is probably the best character ever created. (but Stuie on "The Family Guy" is a close second)
Actually, I've never seen also The Family Guy....

Stay away! Stay away! Ack. Actually you would probably be pissing yourself laughing so hard. If I had to recommend one of the two, go for Futurama though, as Family Guy is intorelable.
