Why are we getting high amount of futurama questions?

Question

I should have asked it a long ago... I was wondering what has recently happened in futurama universe?

Answer 1

It is the result of publicity by the Futurama folks. See these posts:

Futurama Week + Q&A Event on July 11th!
Answerama, the Futurama mini-site, is live!
Possible Futurama Flood Warning, July 2nd

In addition, as I understand, the Futurama facebook page mentioned that there would be prizes for Futurama week here and that drove a lot of low-quality questions just hoping for a prize.
