Of the heads in the box when Bender talks about the day he was built, there are the heads of Flexo's and the head of one of the moon robots that Bender went to high school with.
While attempting to fix his straightedge, Hermes swears under his breath, saying "Haile H. Selassie!" It is a Rastafarian equivalent of turning Jesus Christ's name into a swear by adding the middle initial "H."
Among the Rastafari movement, Haile Selassie, the late Emperor of Ethiopia (1930-74), is revered as the returned messiah of the Bible, God incarnate.
This is the second time Hermes has made this kind of parallel religious swear. In a previous episode, he says "Jah dammit," Jah being the name Rastafarians use for God/Selassie.
