ZBS Paradoxes

In Ruby 1, Mother Kapoor says Rodant's father left before he was born ("The rat!"). However, when Kapoor meets his mother in the City of Zumzamin, she says, "Yes, when you were just a little, pink thing, he left me, the rat!" hinting that he left AFTER Rodant was born. What gives?

In Ruby 1, Summa Nulla has six moons with a fabled seventh, but in the rest of the Rubys, there are THREE with a fabled FOURTH. Not only that, but there are seven moons in two of the three Ruby pilot episodes, and four in the pilot released with the CD version of Tired of the Green Menace?.

Why is the Tookah in Ruby 2 called "The Tookah" when he is the second one to appear in the series? And why is the Tookah in Ruby 3 called The Tookah 2?

What happened to Francois between Ruby 4 and 5? We left him in Ruby 4 having two heads and one body. In Ruby 5, there is only one Francois. What happened?

In Ruby 3, at the time Inanna encounters the Maharhini to try to pass through the final gate, I only counted 5 gates before the final, not 6. They are in order, the gate where she meets Laserta Lasatillia (the lizard one), the gate with the tiny red creatures, the gate of the clay people, the gate of the punishing stones and the Gate of Temptation. Where is the sixth?

In Ruby 3, Part 2, Chapter 5, the theme from The Underworld plays at the beginning instead of the theme from The Invisible World. Any explanations here?

In Ruby 3, Part 2, the narrator, at one point in the story, says "With the help of Monet, the Aurorian Time suspender..." The problem with this is that Monet is NOT a Time Suspender, as Ruby finds out later on. Is the narrator just speaking from Ruby's perspective or is this just a little mistake?

In Ruby 4, early on in Dark Night of the Reptoids, when Teru is narrating his "dream" to E. Gad, E. corrects him when he says he defeated the carnivorous plant and the pre-Reptoid savages with his revolver when he points out that he took the bullets from TJ's revolver beforehand. This happened a few episodes ago, no problem, but then E. Gad says that he also took Teru's revolver as well. When did this happen??

In Saratoga Springs, cassette/CD 2, the Woodchucks are heard celebrating the Fourth of July. But sometime later, New Age Nancy tells Rocky to do her homework, and Rocky replies: &"Homework? School's out! This is JUNE." How can this be?

In Saratoga Springs, Pipes says that he originally owed Blue Jaw Magoon 500 dollars, and Blue Jaw kept on doubling that number until it reached 50 thousand dollars. However, it is impossible to reach 50,000 by doubling 500. Did Blue Jaw change his betting pattern near the end of the string of bets?

In Saratoga Springs (again), Zippy assumedly takes the magic mushrooms before Blue Jaw gives Pipes three weeks to pay up. But after after the three weeks go by (possibly much longer), Zippy has two more hallucinogenic nightmares. How could those mushrooms stay in her system for such a long period of time?

In The Fourth Tower of Inverness, the Madonna Vampyra is said to have green eyes. However, in Return to Inverness, the mask of her face (and supposedly her own face) has blue eyes.

Why were Tomorrow there Will Be Apricots and a couple other selections cut from the original cassette version of Stars & Stuff? Did it have to do with the amount of tape space ZBS had left?

In the CD release of Tired of the Green Menace?, several of Ruby's more risqué lines from the original are cut out, but in a couple cases, some perfectly harmless lines are eliminated (e. g., Formative of Fong's claiming that no one knows who the Dark Forces of Fong are), and when the Falcon calls Ruby, telling her to come over and is apparently strangled, Ruby's response (a sarcastic "very funny") is cut out, something that is the key to the understanding of the whole gag. Why was this done??
