On Futurama when Dr. Zoidberg goes back to his home planet to mate, he says something about fighting for abbreviations in Scrabble to count. So that means in the year 3000, aliens from another planet play Scrabble. Either that, or they play something else that is just coincidentally named Scrabble and involves abbreviations. So all you avid Scrabble fans should practice some more, and plan ahead by studying the dialects of the future, like how they say "axe" instead of "ask." Then in a thousand years minus 6, when you're just a head in a jar, you can be ahead in Scrabble.

But now I'm afraid I may have altered the future by telling you about this. I hope the Game of Life survives until the year 3000. But not the Simpsons version of it. And I hope Operation dies off soon.
