&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Countdown to Futurama: Ben Aging and Bender Bike Sketches&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I woke up this morning, if you’d told me today was the day I’d see a robot with acne, I’d have probably said, “How did you get in my bedroom?! Stop laughing at me! Lots of grown men sleep in wrestling leotards! It’s good for circulation!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But you’d have been right.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These sketches come from &lt;a href="http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/futurama/index.jhtml" target="_blank"&gt;Futurama&lt;/a&gt;’s season premiere, “The Bots and the Bees,” which airs Wednesday, June 20 at 10/9c. In case you missed it, you can see Bender and his bastard son Ben in a clip from the episode right &lt;a href="http://www.comedycentral.com/video-clips/wl0wol/futurama-bender-s-bastard" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Countdown to Futurama: Ben and the Bank Storyboard&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It being the day after Cinco de Mayo, you might be nursing a hangover today. Some recommend a little hair of the dog, but I always find &lt;a href="http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/futurama/index.jhtml" target="_blank"&gt;Futurama&lt;/a&gt; storyboards to be the best cure. And it just so happens we’ve got some today from the upcoming season premiere, “The Bots and the Bees.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Click the images to enlarge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New episodes of &lt;a href="http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/futurama/index.jhtml" target="_blank"&gt;Futurama&lt;/a&gt; return Wednesday, June 20 at 10/9c.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Once again, Google proves they are the master of April Fools cyberprankery. In one online tweak for 2012 (1 of at least 3 - I also spotted a weather changer and The YouTube Collection on DVD), they give you an option to see Google Maps in low-res 8-bit mode (aka old-school Nintendo console view).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
