   Illogical plot
   * It is know that the specie of Zoidburg dies after having intercourse,
how can any one have a father or mother, yet Zoidberg has a great uncle.

The main reason is that a person has a mother and father whether they are alive or not. Also to be someone's uncle or great uncle does NOT require fathering any children so there is no reason that Zoidberg couldn't have a great uncle, it would simply be the brother of his deceased grandparent.

Since none of Zoidberg's other relatives are seen, perhaps the question should be whether or not his race has the ability to produce multiple children at once. I would assume the answer is yes, but... who knows? -- Kicking222 02:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

In Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles Zoidberg reverts to a childhood stage in which his siblings split off from him. So the answers to your questions are 1)yes and 2)who knows? I know ;-P Stardust8212 02:31, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, Zoidberg's family is shown in "A Taste of Freedom", but the woman is NOT his mother, since she refers to Zoidberg's parents rolling over in their graves. It is logical that the previous generation (i.e., grandparents) would raise the new generation after the parents died off. Zoidberg also says he's "Norm and Sam and Sadie's boy", hinting at biological parents as well as an adoptive parent. Buddy13 21:34, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Well the grandparents themselves wouldn't be able to do it as they'd also be dead but perhaps aunts and uncles or *gasp* great-uncles! Anyway, I think we all seem to be in agreement here. Stardust8212 23:15, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

...And that agreement is: "Whatever. It really doesn't matter. The show is amazing, but this episode sucks, so let's just move on with our lives." -- Kicking222 23:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
