[edit] Why I Moved Hans

I believe as Hans Moleman is one of the most popular characters in his own right, he deserves his own page.

[edit] Age

Is he 31 years? Can somebody tell me how, 'cause he looks like 71. ...? --NorwegianMarcus 16:10, 29 March 2006 (UTC) Hans Moleman makes this claim in "Duffless" but has since appeared with other old people.--Greasysteve13 03:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Should we add that he often appears at senior citizen home, and appears in such seniors only activities as the "Senior Olympics", thus implying that while he says he is young, he may be lying? BoBoCTiberius 01:10, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Or he was just mistaken for being old so often that he decided to go along with it, because it was easier than constantly arguing about it (seems like something he'd do, just go with the flow because nobody listens when he says otherwise). Also, Homer lived in the senior citizen home for a while, doesn't mean he's lying about his age. I think we have to leave off the speculation that he may be lying and just stick with the facts. Facts are that he's claimed to be young, and that he often socializes with senior citizens. --Maelwys 02:40, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

But, I think it should be noted that he's also claimed to be older. I don't think that gets enough attention in this article. BoBoCTiberius 17:59, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Retconned Name?

If his name's a retcon, shouldn't this article also mention what the previous name was? Damn it, now I'm curious. - Brother Dave Thompson 19:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I found it, and will add it now. I'd like to give a shout out to my peeps Larry Page and Sergey Brin for the help - Brother Dave Thompson 19:40, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orange-eating?

Unless that gag about teaching an orange-eating class was recycled when homer was eating an orange in his successful marriage class, that information is wrong (in 2 places in the article), that was Homer.

He was in fact teaching an orange-eating class, but this scene is often cut out. After Groundskeeper Willy comments to Homer that if he wanted to see a man eating an orange, he would have taken the orange-eating class, the scene cuts to Hans Moleman's orange-eating class, in which he remarks that the eating of an orange is a lot like a good marriage. Grampa (a student in the class) then impatiently tells him to eat the damn orange. Gorilla 322 00:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Place of Birth?

In two different episodes - names of which I have ofcourse forgotten - it is claimed that Moleman comes from Estonia, that he is born in Estonia. Does someone know anything about it? 87.119.165.214 14:08, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

You are probably thinking of the episode "Burns' heir", in which Mr. Burns has hired a midget from Estonia to play Lisa when Burns is trying to fool Bart into thinking his family doesn't miss him. His nationality is indicated near the end of the episode when Lisa says, "That midget taught me a lot about his native Estonia." Hans Moleman appeared in the same episode, so this is probably the reason for the confusion. As far as I know, that was the only mention of Estonia in a Hans Moleman episode.
