Changes: Alienese

Revision as of 14:19, 22 August 2014

Alienese, the alien written language seen throughout the show, was created as an in-joke to see how fast fans could decipher it.

The first language, a simple substitution cipher, was solved almost instantly.

The second language is much more complicated, but was solved thanks to the determination of Futurama's audience.
