Entertainment Weekly is reporting the seventh season of Comedy Central’s Emmy-award-winning, Futurama, will end this Sept. 4.
animated comedy series,

Set in the 31st Century, the spacey series enjoyed a nice 140 episode run, including surviving a cancellation in 2003, but its final 13 episode will air over this summer, starting on June 19 at 10 p.m. ET.

According to EW, the news was not a shock to its executive producer, David X. Cohen and creator Matt Groening (also creator of The Simpsons) said, "who had thought their space explorations were ending three previous times (after the Fox run, after the four movies, and after Comedy Central’s first 26-episode order)."

Cohen promises "our best 'last season ever' ever" and it will features guests that include, Larry Bird, Sarah Silverman, George Takei, Adam West, Dan Castellaneta and Burt Ward. Groening added that, "It’s a really satisfying ending. It’s an epic ending. If indeed it’s the ending. Perhaps Futurama will return in another form, on the Internet, or as a puppet show in the park. Or maybe as a puppet show in the park on the Internet."

So is this really the end of Futurama? Will it come back from the dead like it did in the past? Are you disappointed that it’s ending? Time will tell!

Alien skull discovered in Peru? Probably not

This is a mummified alien skull. No, it is not just the noggin of a deformed child (or Helen Hunt), but a legit alien skull. How can we be so sure? Science tells us so.

Yahoo! News reports that a Peruvian anthropologist found the "triangle shaped" skull with a 20-inch body, and that news site RPP interviewed five anonymous Spanish and Russian doctors who pointed to the stars instead of some seriously messed-up human DNA.

According to RPP:

It has a non-human appearance because the head is triangular and big, almost the same size as the body. At first we believed it to be a child's body until Spanish and Russian doctors came and confirmed that, yes, it's an extraterrestrial being.

Well, we have all been hoping for some really conclusive evidence of alien life for some time now, so we might as well take the word of anonymous "doctors." Let's just chalk it up to an early Thanksgiving treat. Although we here are thinking one of those docs must actually be named Zoidberg based on their extensive knowledge of human anatomy.

(Note to collective self: Add "Have you ever declared deformed skeletal remains as alien?" to healthcare professional questionnaire.)
