Why does "for no.raisin" get replaced by "for no reason"?

I just noticed that the words "for no.raisin" (without the period) get replaced by "for no reason" within the body of a post. Is this a spellchecker gone amok? Or is it a software writer who doesn't like Futurama?

My money's on the latter, it's an old and overused meme.

Am I seriously the first to answer "For no reason?"

For no reason. For no raisen. Hm.

Nope, it's definitely whoever set up the filter not liking that meme.

Although I am aware of the reference I've never used that phrase once in my life, but now that I know it's forbidden it gives me an overwhelming urge to use it whenever possible.
