Then while everyone's asleep (except Binky) he sneaks inside "World of Tomorrow", but gets Trapped inside a spaceship.

Then when his dream was over. He saw Buster and told him is Mr. Ratburn's 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. End

Trivia

Notes

• 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.

Goofs

• In this episode, Binky hates mac'n'cheese, but in "Francine Redecorates" he says he loves mac'n'cheese!
• If Mr. Ratburn wanted the class to go to sleep rather than talk, that would include Binky.

Quotes

• Buster: Whoa, this is so cool. Did they have this exhibit here last year?
• Binky: That's the coat room, doofus!
