I haven't seen the episode in question, so I may be missing the joke (other than the Python one). But if not, you may find this of some assistance. ;-)
Not really a joke but it came up during the episode and akcipitrokulo is the only person I know who speaks Esperanto (I can't remember what her username means).
Mia ŝvebŝipo estas plena de angiloj - I'm not sure if I've got the same word for hovercraft as they did though. That's a combination of ŝvebi - to hover and ŝipo - ship.
I did know that the word Robot came from Rossum's Universal Robots (RUR) the play by Karl Capek & that it meant "worker"!
(This is from reading a lot of Asimov :-) )
Was great episode!
Akcipitrokulo means Hawkeye 'cos M*A*S*H is great.
Ah.. the link gave kusenveturilo... mine would be understood as well I would think :-) I did have to go to an online dictionary for "hover" and "eels" though.
