I think someone should explain his personality more like the other futurama articles.
Was it mentioned the top speed of the planet express ship equipped with the "main engine"?
-
- In Teenage Mutant Leelas Hurdles Leela tells us "This ship can do 99% lightspeed." Unfortunately, because of the raising of light-speed in 2208, that speed is unknown to us. Worth mentioning? Cygnus360 1 July 2005 19:26 (UTC)

[edit] Nobel Prizes
Exactly when did he become a double Nobel laureate? As far as I know, the only time he mentions a Nobel Prize is as a possibility in Mars University. Cygnus360
- That's a good question. In Anthology of Interest II, he implies that he's won one, but that's during a What-If scenario. -- Cyrius|✎ 01:52, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- If I recall, he has a Nobel Prize in Physics for his Doomsday Device and a Nobel Prize in Peace for not using it.
[edit] Grungalungas
Didn't Prof. Farnsworth say he was worth a billion dollars while he was listening to Arcade Fire? -- sincerely Q-Bert
[edit] Seperate Invention Page?
It might be worth it to put his inventions on a seperate page. There are a lot, and it would allow to have images for most of them. AncientNova 20:31, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Roswell That ends well
In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roswell_That_Ends_Well , Fry did his grandmother, then became his own grandfather. How does this affect his familial relationship with Prof Farnsworth?--Xlegiofalco 03:43, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- It makes him a direct ancestor as well as a great uncle. That's about it. -- Digital Watches 07:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Paradox?
(he is his great nephew — though never stated, he is therefore logically the descendant of Philip's only sibling, his brother Yancy Fry, and also, via time paradox, Philip J. Fry himself)
Uh, unless Philip impregnated his brother, Farnsworth can't be Fry's descendant, just his relative. Also, there's nothing paradoxical about it as far as I can see. Travelling to the future to meet your great-great-great-great...great-grandnephew is achievable through simple relativistic time dilation, and doesn't conflict with causality at all.

[edit] Duplicates
There are some items that appear in the List of Farnsworth Inventions and in the List of Futurama Gadgets with different information. I think it would be better to remove the gadgets invented by Farnsworth from this page and add them into the List of Gadgets. And this List of Gadgets would be divided into Farnsworth gadgets and non-Farnsworth gadgets. Bender22 02:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Death Clock?
Are you sure that the death clock is a parody of the clocks circling around the internet? I know that the death clock was intruduced in Robert A. Heinleins first short story "Lifeline" Where the doctor "Pinerõ" invents a death clock (and there might be other, even earlier references?) However, since Heinlein is considered one of the founding fathers of science fiction, how can we be sure that this is not a parody of that? johan_h 20:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Farnsworth Parabox
Shouldn't the Parabox count as an invention? Adamsandberg 14:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
