Holophonor is based on Isaac Asimov's Visi-Sonor? Wow!! Parasites Lost, Season 3, Episode 2.

Currently reading Foundation and Empire by Isaac Asimov, and stumbled upon the passage that describes the Visi-Sonor. As i read along i made the connection between that and Futurama's Holophonor! Had to go on the futurama wiki on fandom to check it had been noticed by others before. So cool to find out new details in Futurama even after all these years.
Some quotes that align the pair so well,
-
Ebling Mis "Near as I can make it, no one on the Foundation can make it talk right"
-
Ebling Mis "More often than not, good players are idiots otherwise."
I suppose this is slightly reversed in the Futurama episode, where Fry can only play when he's not an idiot?
- Magnifico speaking about his Visi-Sonor piece "It is but a poor makeshift I have created, but my minds poverty precludes more. I call it, "The Memory of Heaven." "
Much the same as how Fry gets his inspriation.
