Appearance: "Space Pilot 300"
Few cartoons master the background gag the way Futurama does, from creators being animated into the show to obscure sci-fi puns decorating local haunts; but did you know they've made their own language? More than one?
Appearing mostly in the background, the first language was nothing but a simple substitution cipher, seen above. But the second, and I quote:
"Each symbol has a numerical value. To decode a message, the first symbol's value is translated directly into a character (0='A', 1='B', and so on). For the remaining letters, you subtract the previous symbol's numerical value. If the result is less than zero, you add 26. Then that number is converted into a character as before."
Sheesh. Nerds.
