Physically, Fry is around 1020+ years old.
But Biologically he's only in his mid twenties still.

Fun fact: When Fry's reached 160 in physical years, he'll be 1160. Now that's old! (Course anyone with a calculator could figure that out, but the question for the thread has been answered. Chronologically, he's 1,025 at the start of the show (after being frozen) and 25 biologically. If time moved forward like it was supposed to, he'd be 1,029 and 29 respectively.

The only purpose that post serves is as a plug for "Crash Course in Love," given that the answer is already stated in several posts. Shame! Although, it is a good story.

When they were in the Fountain of Aging, all of them (except the Professer, who emergered older than 160 something) were at least a few years younger when they all got out (as Leela says "I might be a few years younger.", so I'd say Fry would be around 24 or 25.

Wait, like in that episode (dont know the name off the top of my head) where the professor turns 160 and has to go to that place with those space grim reaper dudes. Since Fry is technically 160, wouldn't that mean he HAS to go to that place?

No, because he's not biologically 160. The NearDeath Star is for physically old people, like a nursing home. Fry doesn't need to be there yet.

Not all of Fry's clothes are 1000 years old. He has more than one set of clothes.

I don't know if the comics are considered part of the continuity but in #3, there are several sets of Fry's clothes on the table. Also, I could swear in one of the episodes it shows more than one set on the floor of his apartment.

they once travelled to the galaxie of terror. the next galaxie, the andromeda nebula is 165.000 lightyears away from earth. the next planet which is not in our solar system is at alpha centauri, 4.3 ly away. these distances should create measurable effects. they also visit the end of the universe.

Originally posted by Ranadok: Leela was in the pool for a lot less time than anyone else, and they all looked normal age by the time that she yumped in. I think she was the only one that came out younger than usual (IF she did). [Robot from Thermostadt] I will believe, what I was PROGRAMMEd to believe! [/Robot from Thermostadt]

But since the speed of light had been increased these effects, while measurable, is neglectable in the overall scheme. They simply never spend enough time travelling at relativistic speeds. Farnsworth say in "A Clone Of My Own" that the Planet Express ship can travel to nearby galalxies in a couple of hours, the edge of the Universe is only a few hours away (since that was a leisure trip I doubt they were travelling anywhere near light speed). So each trip would tops yield them a couple of hours, and since they don't make deliveries that often (PE is a pretty mediocre delivery compnay) that's not something that would affect Fry's age, at least not in a major way. That's not even excluding those missions where they're traveling at a leisurely .2C or .5C. Small nit: the nearest galaxy is the Small Magellanic Cloud, the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.1 million LY away.

Which brings up the point of why they have a laundry room on the ship.

Not all of Fry's clothes are 1000 years old. He has more than one set of clothes. Bender says in "I, Roommate" that Fry only has one set of clothes, but he might have bought some more after that. Maybe there's some futuristic way to create an exact replica of a set of clothes, which is why they all look the same. Which brings up the point of why they have a laundry room on the ship. In case they visit a dirty planet? Besides, it makes more sense than a lion, doesn't it?
