Damn it! All these planet references and I didn't say mine because I thought it was too late. Well, now I'm saying it to get rid of the urge. Omicron Persei VII! There I said it! *Walks away feeling satisfied*

Well, that's what WE call it, who are we to impose our name on them?

Surely you mean Omicron Persei VIII. Women are from Omicron Persei VII.

Yeah, VIII. I forgot the I. Nice catch, Deac.
EDIT: Although, only because I thought VII actually sounds weird. VIII just rolls off the tongue. Maybe this dilemma is because of my guy status...

It's only spelled "Omicron Persei VIII" on the internet. In the show it's "Omicron Persei 8" when written out.

Hmmmmm... they spelled it on the show? Damn, it's been at least a year since I've even seen an episode of Futurama. (Lack of cable and money, not lack of desire)

Then why were you saying we? It was referring to what planet teenagers come from.

Alright, now I'm really confused. I can't even remember what alien episode that image is from... I'm thinking the first one that uses them, with the Ally McBeal episode and such, since it has that lightyears reference.

Yes. Season 1, Episode 12, "When Aliens Attack".

And to be specific, "Women are from Omicron Persei VII, and Men are from Omicron Persei IX".
Teenagers... well, they're clearly from somewhere outside the Kuiper belt, anyway.

PS I uploaded it to Wikipedia and updated the article on the episode
When Aliens Attack to contain it.
Also added a similar screenshot to the article on
Omicron Persei VIII. I have no idea why the internet nerds insist on using Roman numerals...
