Matt Groening's Futurama features many characters 21st century viewers find odd, but are completely normal in their 31st century setting. One of which is Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth, a 168 year old mad scientist/inventor who suffers from a mad case of senility.

Anyway, on with our fun fact: the professor is the namesake of Hubert Dreyfus, philosophy professor at Cal, who worked in field of artificial intelligence and taught one of the show's writers.

The similarities are apparently both in physical appearance and mannerisms, though only one of them uses "Sweet Zombie Jesus!" as a catchphrase.
