I can explain, but what is a Futurama head?

    In the Futurama series (greatest scifi show since B5), they have this
running gag about celebrity heads being preserved, alive, in jars.  You can

...you've got a minifig head in a neon green "jar" sitting on the boardwalk
that very much resembles the jar-heads of Futurama.

Hmmm...actually it was inspired by Nate (Bluntman) Burr's head-in-a-jar idea

reason why it is wearing a hat is that head-in-a-jars need head protection too.

Thanks for telling me.

Cheers (*clink*)
