Rock Spaceship Icons in Futurama Episode

Posting on the WOT forum since it's of little substance.

Watched an episode of Futurama last night with my son - it was the one with a four-dimensional space whale.

There was a scene where Leela's ship gets pulled by the whale into the space vortex or whatever, and they drift through all this wreckage of other ships, and amongst the wreckage I noticed the ships from the cover of ELO's Out of the Blue, Boston's first album, and Journey's Escape, which I thought was very funny. Anyone seen this, and did you notice any other recognizable rock vessels? I'm thinking maybe ZZ Top's space shuttle was in there.

I can't remember exactly, but that was an amazing scene. They pulled crap out of everywhere to litter the space. Pretty sure the Jupiter 2 was in there too.
And at the end, Tom Baker walked out of the whale. Freakin' brilliant.
One of the best series.........EVER!

Any idea what the name of the episode was?

I think it was "Möbius Dick."

Why did they have Tom Baker as Dr. Who come out of the whale's mouth? I noticed it, but didn't know why.

Because I believe that the Tardis is a time machine that travels through the 4th dimension ...

duh

Too bad they did use the space-ship from Yes' Fragile cover or The Moorglade from Olias of Sunhillow (I know a bit too obscure for the average Futurama viewer...or maybe not)
