Max Norris Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 It is pretty cool... may have to scrounge the garage sales for some rabbit ears, maybe watch some old Star Trek or something for giggles. (Although knowing my luck I'd probably just get Gilligan's Island or some such junk.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call shenanigans. It was an April Fools prank by BBC News. Rimmel.com is just hosting a mirror of it because the original was taken down. April 1, it was a joke. How are people not getting this?

HawkMan Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Futurama. An Earth Television signal is picked up on Omicron Persei 8.4 Then I think the picture needs more context, even as a Futurama fan I don't know that off the top of my head.
