Yancy's son, Phillip Fru

[on:]

I was at work the other day, and was thinking of the episode I was watching the other night, the Luck of the Fryish, when it occured to me.  Why isn't Phillip Fry's head in a jar, not the main character but Yancy's son?  Normally important people are put into the head jars, and Phillip was the first person on Mars, wouldn't taht get you a ticket to share experiances with those who seek it?

My guess is that he either didn't want to, or that he is and Fry just hasn't searched for him yet.

Pre-exsiting thread

Maybe Phillip Fry Jr disgraced himself, maybe the future doesn't consider it such a great feat.

Teral- He was burried in the world heroes section with one of the largest tomb stones.

There are huge numbers of heads in the museum and Fry has never been specifically looking for his nephew, he could easily have been somewhere off screen. Besides, that's assuming he's even in the NNY museum, there is no reason to suspect that this is the only one - maybe he is in a museum on Mars for example.

[Reply #5 on:]

Perhaps. After all, he is the first man on Mars.

Fry was looking directly into the open casket, i'm sure he would have noticed if the head was missing.

Ex-presidents and actors get their heads put in jars.  Heroes are treated with more respect than that.

yeah, Bender, Leela, or Fry would have said something if the head was missing. They all looked at the corpse.

Yeah, Bender says something like "Want me to smack-up the corpse for ya?" He would've said something like "Oh, someone beat me to it" if the head were missing.

Also, ponder on this. Washington's corpse was long decayed in the ground and yet his head is perfectly preserved with Ron Popiel's technology to preserve heads. How does that work? And on this subject, maybe you have to be a certain age to have your head preserved and displayed in a museum. Wahington is close to three hundred years older than Fry Jr.
