Did you watch Futurama on Sunday? Probably not, since it was on at 7:00 and FOX usually chooses not to show it without notice.
Anyway, everyone gets a $300 rebate from the government surplus, and the whole episode is on how the different characters spend it.
Fry uses his $300 to buy 100 cups of coffee throughout the episode. By the 50th cup, his whole body is shaking and contorting. At cup 99 he can’t hold the cup still, and after he drinks cup 100, he enters a different plane, where time slows down for him… sort of like that lame movie directed by Cmdr. Riker.
I’m thinking of trying to accomplish the same goal this weekend and see if I can reach a higher (faster?) plane of existance. I’ll probably have to pick up the Club Pack size of coffee grinds, but for any great art there’s always sacrifice.
