• Dates of Alfred Nobel, who instituted the Nobel Prizes. 3012 Presidential candidate Chris Travers won a Nobel Prize (in an unspecified field and year), which is seen on screen in this episode, showing (as with real Nobel prizes) Alfred Nobel in profile and the years of his birth and death. The death year shown is correct, “MDCCCXCVI”, but the birth year shown is clearly “MOOCCXXI”, a meaningless number in Roman numerals. The correct birth year would be “MDCCCXXXIII”. This is presumed to be an animation error, rather than an indication that Alfred Nobel’s birth year is something different in the Futurama universe.
