[edit] Delta
Does Delta hub really have anything to do with Delta Air Lines? I doubt it. Go Futurama! User:Sp3000 05:10, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, a Delta hub is an airport hub where Delta routes most of its flights through. This allows a city to do a lot of business near their airport for peopole who have to switch planes or have layovers. At least that is my understanding. 130.76.96.17 14:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC) Sorry, that was me. Stardust8212 14:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- See Airline hub, which mentions that "Delta Air Lines (DL) uses Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) (the world's largest hub)". Thuktun 20:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Country Club
- After Fry announces his intentions to stay underwater with Umbriel, Zoidberg invites him to come and visit his little house outside of town but "The Colonel" shakes his head and Fry says that he can't because he is trying to join the country club. This is a reference to the anti-Semitism that once ran rampant in the Deep South. This is one of many references to Zoidberg's Jewish-inspired origins, which is itself a joke because he is a shellfish, a food that Jews are forbidden to eat.
Isn't it more of a reference to the current racism in America where some golf courses still don't allow non-whites to play? Ozmodiar.x 03:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
See the article on exclusivity and social issues in country clubs. Thuktun 21:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia
[edit] Colonel
I wouldn't think this is a direct reference to Colonel Sanders, but rather to southern gentlemen affecting that title. I think that bullet in the trivia should be removed or modified. Thuktun 20:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
