Since Binky's repeating third grade, he's totally dreading Mr. Ratburn's annual class sleepover at the Science Museum. After all, he remembers how boring it was last year... wouldn't the second time around be twice as dull? But an enticing new exhibit - on visions of the future! - shows Binky that science knowledge can really come in handy.[[File:1294.JPG|thumb|264px|The class having a sleepover at the science museum.]]

==Plot(Binkey dreads going 2 the museum because he did
{{cquote|Binky, you made me lose count again.|[[Muffy Crosswire]]}}
It last year,but he sees an exhibit that excites him,
{{EpisodeHeader|1|8|7}}
"The World of Tommorrow" but 2 Binky's disappointment
It's closed.Then while everyone's asleep(except
Binkey)he sneaks inside "World of Tomorrow"but gets
Trapped inside a spaceship.Then Binkey dreams he's in
The future and gets out with help from Thruster
(who resembles Buster)and he discovers he's in "World
Of Yesterday"instead of "Tomorrow"and in the year
March10,2203.Then Thruster thinks he's an exhibit,but
Binkey's on a quest 4 his classmates,but Thruster
Tells him he can't leave,people'll want a refund.
Then Binkey says he isn't part of the exhibit,he's a
Kid like Buster,then Thruster doesn't know what a kid
Is and says he's an "Immature Artifical Life-Form"
Then he takes Binkey to a craft,"take ye 2 anytime"
binkey had 2 answer a science question,which was
"what tiny particles attract a washer 2 a magnet?"
Then when his dream was over.he saw Buster and told
Him mr.Ratburn's a robot and Buster asked,"I was a
Robot?,did I do cool stuff?,did lasers come outta
My eyes?,did I drink motor oil?"Lastly Binkey learned
The atoms were what attracted a washer to a magnet,
From that moment on,he had a new respect 4 science.End


==Summary==
==Trivia-Thruster says the craft is 200 years
Binky had been in Mr. Ratburn's class the previous year, so the sleepover at the Science Museum is boring — that is, until he finds a new exhibit about the future.
Old when it's actually 192 years old.
Also,Binky was asleep 4 192 years instead of
200 years.
Binkey's dream has his whole class wearing
"genetically altered skin"uniforms,and
Binkey's the only 1 who isn't wearing white
Uniforms,he's instead wearing a green shirt
And pants.
The officer-dogs in Binkey's dream are the  
Only robots,while everyone else are animals.
in Arthur,there are only two episodes that have robots in
Them,"Buster gets real"and"World of Tomorrow"and they're
2 dreams involving Binkey and Arthur.


==Plot==
===Notes===
Binky dreads going to the museum because he did it last year, but he sees an exhibit that excites him, "The World of Tomorrow", but to Binky's disappointment it is closed. Then while everyone is sleeping (except Binky) he sneaks inside "World of Tomorrow", but gets trapped inside a lunar module. Then Binky dreams of being in the future and gets out with help from Thruster (who resembles Buster) and he discovers he is in "World of Yesterday" instead of "Tomorrow" and in the year March 10, 2203. Then, Thruster thinks he's an exhibit, but Binky's on a quest for his classmates, but Thruster tells him he can't leave, people will want a refund. Then Binky says he isn't part of the exhibit, he's a Kid like Buster, then Thruster doesn't know what a kid is and says he is an "Immature Artificial Life-Form". Then he takes Binky to a craft, "Take me to anytime." Binky had to answer a science question,"What tiny particles attract a washer to a magnet?" When his dream was over. He saw Buster and told him is Mr. Ratburn was still a robot and Buster asked, "I was a Robot? Did I do cool stuff? Did I shot lasers out of my eyes? Did I drink motor oil?" Lastly, Binky learned that the atoms were what attacked the washer to the magnet, from that moment on Binky had new found respect for science.
*In "The World of Tomorrow," while at the museum, Sue Ellen and George do the same thing that their look alikes did last year. Sue Ellen (and her look alike) rubs their feet on the carpet and shock Binky, at the static electricity exhibit. George (and his look alike) set off an alarm by sneaking and stealing a model car from an exhibit.
*Viewers learn in "The World of Tomorrow" that Binky was in Mr. Ratburn's class the year before. Previously, it had only been stated that he was made to repeat third grade.
*In Mr. Ratburn's other third grade class, the one Binky was in, there are kids that look, wear colors, and have characteristics just like Francine, Sue Ellen, Fern, Jenna, Arthur, Buster, George, and the Brain. The same thing applies to the students in Mr. Price-Jones' class. However, Arthur's lookalike is a rabbit, Brain's is a cat, Francine's is a monkey (like her), Sue Ellen's is a bear, Fern's is a rat or a poodle, George's is apparently an antelope, Muffy's is an aardvark, and Buster's is apparently a bear.

==Trivia==
*This episode takes place on March 10th, 2003 as Binky dreams that he slept for 200 years and the year in his dream is 2203.
*It is revealed that Binky was in Mr. Ratburn's class the year before. Previously, it was only understood that he was repeating third grade this year.
===Cultural references===
*In Binky's dream he sarcastically tells Thruster he is Engelbert Humperdinck, which could refer either to the classical [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engelbert_Humperdinck_(composer) German composer] (best known for the opera "Hänsel und Gretel") or to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engelbert_Humperdinck_(singer) British singer] who named himself after the composer.
*Buster claiming he wanted to wear his robot pajamas to the sleepover, but he had to wear the cowboy ones because the robot ones are in the washing machine might be a reference to the plot of Toy Story, where a cowboy toy gets replaced by a space toy, which itself is a parody of a cultural phenomenon of the 1950s, where kids wanted to be cowboys. But with the launch of Sputnik and the subsequent space race between the US and the Soviet Union, kids wanted to grow up to be astronauts and abandoned their cowboy toys, which is explored even further in Toy Story 2.
*Binky's dream of him ending up in the future, yet not visibly aging might be a reference to Futurama.
*This episode is a reference to what Terry said in Futurama which was "Welcome to the World of Tomorrow!".
===Episode connections===
*The class last year all resembling kids from Mr. Ratburn's class this year is similar to the [[Glenbrook Academy]] students from "[[The Return of the King]]."
===Errors===
*'''Plot Hole:'''
**In this episode, Binky hates macaroni and cheese, while in "[[Francine Redecorates]]" he says he loves it. However, he may have changed his mind, since he says it in a flashback in this episode.
**[[Prunella Deegan|Prunella]] wasn't in last year's class, despite specifically saying she had him last year in "[[Arthur and the Real Mr. Ratburn]]" (although she might have been absent). [[Billy]] and several others also were absent.
*Alex was missing in several frames.
