What you need to know:

The Professor is about 164 years old, it’s hard to tell since he’s been youth-a-sized and then dipped in “The Fountain of Aging”. But he was born in April 9th 2841 so he’s been alive for 164 years. He should be lying in some sort of stasis at the “Near-deathstar” but he got rescued and they didn’t bother coming for him again.

The Professors full name is Hubert J Farnsworth. His employees call him Professor and his great x30 something Uncle calls him Nephew.

Hubert owns the Planet Express Delivery Company but he also works as a Professor at Mars University where he teaches “The science of quantum neutrino fields”. He of course made up the title so no student would dare take the class. Professors can’t teach.

The Professor spends most of his time inventing since he has a democrat managing his delivery company.


Interesting facts:

He was born in New New York’s nerdiest slum “Hells Laboratory”.
He made the first robot able to qualify for a boat loan.
His arch nemesis is named Wernstrum. Wernstrum is 40 years younger.
He sympathises with the opinions of the “National Ray-Gun” party.
He has had 4 – 5 heart surgeries.
His favourite artist is Picasso.

Past:

Young Hubert learned to read while he was still in diapers, at age 8. He then blossomed into a greasy teenage nerd. After 14 years of Graduate School he got a job at Moms Friendly Robot Company. He and Mom fell in love and then after some time, short or long is unknown, they broke up. We don’t know for how long he has taught at Mars University but we do know it has been for at least 99 years. In the episode “A Head in the Polls” we learn that Hubert has been a prostitute or using his own words “Sold your body? Oh Bender I’ve been down that road.” He’s supposed to have quit after spending all of his money on skin tight pants.

While at Moms he built the first “sporty robot” by sacrificing fuel-efficiency.

Psychological Evaluation:

The Professor suffers from chronic madness, a disease that is supposed to run in his family. It hasn’t Affected Fry yet though. He’s a kind and gentle man who sometimes can be cruel and forgetful. He seems easy to be around and he’s not affected by the 20th century’s notion of modesty. He’s a man who does what he feels like when he feels like it.

What he has been up to since we first met him:

-   Saved the City of New New York from a big ball of garbage.
-   Rode on the Titanics maiden voyage.
-   Inventing
-   Helped save the Earth from destruction by appearing in an episode of “Single female lawyer”
-   Toured the Slurm Factory on the planet Wormulon.
-   Employed 25 star general WeeBelo Zapp Brannigan.
-   Gotten registered to vote.
-   Fought Santa Claus.
-   Cloned him self. The clone got the name Cubert.
-   Discovered the lost underwater city of Atlanta.
-   Had sex with Corporate billionaire Mom
-   Went on a fantastic voyage inside his Uncles body.
-   Visited Mars on Mars day.
-   Saved the Universe from time skips. Assisted by Ethan Bubblegum Tate.
-   Went back in time to the year 1947 and crash landed in Roswell, New Mexico.
-   Lost the Company and then got it back from his Uncle Fry.
-   Started the Bender protest group F.A.R.T or Fathers against rude Television.
-   Saved Earth from Global warming by moving it further from the Sun.
-   Gotten Youth-a-Sized: Reversed through his life.
-   Performed a Robot sexchange on Bender.
-   Created multiple paralell universes.

No, he has a bureaucrat managing his delivery company.  If he had a democrat managing his delivery company he would spend most of his time paying taxes.

It's the National Ray-Gun Association.

You should add that the professor is believed to suffer (or at least to have suffered in the past) from a disease known as "Wandering Bladder."

He spend his 300$ tax rebate on a stem cells.

He paid Bender 499 dollar and 100 cent to illegally dispose of highly toxic waste, rather than paying the mandatory bribe of 500$.

Has a strange obsession with dolomite.

Have send several delivery crews to their deaths.

Does Farnsworth actually own Planet Express? I mean it's traded ont he stock exchange and the employees control at least 49% as of "Futurestock", maybe more since.

I guess we can't be totally sure how corporations operate in the future, but, in "The Route of All Evil," Cubert specifically lays claim to the Professor's building and spaceship, so I suppose Farnsworth owns them, but not the company itself.

Oh, and, to be pedantic about it, Cubert was actually cloned a few years before "Space Pilot 3000," but he didn't do anything until "A Clone of My Own."

What more to write in the Medical Profile ?

Suffers or suffered from a condition known as "Wandering Bladder". Otherwise he looks quite healthy for a 164 year old. The Professor has also cloned himself, the clone seems fine. Of what we have seen of his age reversing he didn’t have any chronic deceases or suffered from obesity. He has had 4 – 5 heart surgeries.

A little racist. This might just be towards Signoids but it might stretch further than that.
He was also seen hating Grunka Lunkas.
First impressions seems important to him.

For some reason he helped Fry download a celeberties personality into a robot although he moraly objects to the whole concept of Humans dating robots. Why is this, could it be something mental ?

Medical Profile:
He got horrible beaten by Horrible Gelatinous Blob. This would have killed even me but he survived just fine.

In "Roswell that ends well" noone came up to him and asked how old he really was. Noone even glanced at him more than twice. By this can I draw the conclusion that he might look like he's in his 80s or 90s ?

Is in favour of saving Hitler's brain by placing it in a Great White Shark.
Also seems to be a bit of a megalomaniac when the mood takes him.

If that's the case, he might see Sweden as a necessary evil, since he buys a super-collider from pi-kea in Less Than Hero.

Has edited everything you told me to and added some of the things you've said. Also added this:

Psychological Evaluation:

For some reason he helped Fry download a celebrities personality into a robot although he morally objects to the whole concept of Humans dating robots. Why did he do it, is he just helpful or does he even stop to think about his actions? Seems like he acts first and thinks later. A little weird since he is a scientist. Mad as he may be. Also seems to be a bit of a megalomaniac when the mood takes him. His Uncle x30 describes him with these exact words: “The Professor is a senile, amoral crackpot.”

He let a coin flip decide whether or not to try and surgically remove his own brain.
In a Parallel Universe where the only difference where that coin flips turned out the opposite of what they do in ours he actually attempted this.

Medical Profile:

He got horribly beaten by Horrible Gelatinous Blob, this would have killed even me but he survived just fine. We see him getting fiercely smashed into and crushing a lamp. He should be dead, is he stronger than your average 160 year old or are everyone his age that strong?

Has also suffered victim to 3 explosions (in WITHW, LTH and TFP) one of which smashed him through a 10 cm or thicker wall made of plaster and then into another wall which he took a rather nasty hit on. Amazingly he survived and all of these without a scratch or having to go to a hospital.

You might want to change it to "Helped save the City of New New York from a big ball of garbage."  The first attempt failed, and it was Fry's idea that actually saved the city.

That's nitpicking, I know; but that's what you're asking for, right?

True. But he needs credits for coming up with the idea of having an object the same density and such.

I'll write "helped save the city".

By the same token, I guess that Fry never did journey to the inside of his own colon.   :(
