And he designed the ship, he didn't invent the spaceship. It's not like you can invent something that has already been invented. Altough i will say that it's a nicely designed ship.

An invention is the modification of an already existing concept. An innovation is something which is completely new. Therefore he could have invented that particular spaceship

Since time had passed from when he asked the what if machine what would have happened if he had invented it to when he actually invented, it causality had altered. The what if machine would have displayed what would have happened if he had invented it then and there otherwise asking the same question with completely different parameters would result in the same outcome. The invention of the finglonger might have been inspired by the what if machines display which alters the causality.

Not you really, more the ones that post annoying pointless threads that cause said problem.

 

Hulkbuster asserted: An invention is the modification of an already existing concept. An innovation is something which is completely new.

 

Dictionary.com offers up:

invention - 2. A new device, method, or process developed from study and experimentation: the phonograph, an invention attributed to Thomas Edison.

innovation - The act of introducing something new.

So both are right. Let's not get bogged down in semantics here. The profesor invented the ship, and the engine, which was in itself an innovation on exisitng engine design.

I personally agree with Teral's theory about the finglonger.

[Reply #43 on:]

So farnsworth could have invented the PE starship, it qualifies as a new device that uses a new method or process to a similar end as other ships perhaps but not identical.

I think the "what if" machine. I would love a go on that.

Agreed.

The hat that makes monkeys smarter!

(And I'm now an official Bending Unit!)

[Reply #48 on:]

The finglonger.  Or one of his doomsday devices.

[Reply #49 on:]

The machine that makes boxes which contain other universes

[Reply #50 on:]

I think that's the same machine that makes those glow in the dark noses. After all...
"It can do other things, why shouldn't it!?"

Okay, we get the point that you like the smellascope, you don't have to keep going on about it, geez...

Anyway, I'll vote for the Death Clock. Sure, it wasn't a good invention - but it lead to a hillarious gag (the fact that he forgets he's already invented it twice).

[Reply #52 on:]

Cubert.
<ducks>
Okay! Okay!
Jeeze.
Uh... the uh... doomsday device usedto implode the chronoton source in TKoS. Hmm. An "implosive" device instead of a explosive device?

[Reply #53 on:]

I agree wity ZED, the finglonger.

[Reply #54 on:]

He didn't actually build it, but I think it can qualify as what we are really getting at it is the type of stuff he likes to invent, so my favourite would be his proposed replacement for Bender 'Some kind of mechanical monster, with *Sorry I don't remember*, and a heart as black as coal'. I just love the idea of his enthusiasm for this kind of terrifying creature outweighing the practical considerations of working with it as part of the crew. Oh, and if someone can fill in the I don't remember bit I'll be pleased. I suppose I could do it on Monday if I watch it at the weekend. I'm rambling. Sorry.

[Reply #55 on:]

okay, so he didnt build the finglonger. Then does the race of Albino shouting gorillas count?

[Reply #56 on:]

"Better yet, I'll build someone to fill on for you. Some kind of gamma powered mechanical monster, eh, with freeway onramps for arms and a heart as black as coal..."

Oh, and keep in mind that the What-if machine is only accurate to withing one tenth of a plausibility unit.
He could've invented the finglonger without doing what the What-if machine told him he would do if he did.

Anyway, my vote goes to... The machine that makes noses and analyzes things.

edit:
typos.

A man can dream- aahhh wot life would be like with the finglonger

[Reply #58 on:]

The angry dome.

@BFryender> Don't double post and it's Smell-O-Scope.

I thought the Funk-O-Meter was kinda cool. I'd like to se that one again.

This is probably his second-best invention.
Followed by the Smell-o-Scope.

[Reply #64 on:]

Teaching the toaster to feel love surely comes in as an invention! That's the best toaster in the whole world.

[Reply #65 on:]

Naw, the Racoon-Toaster was cooler, if kinda gamey.

[Reply #66 on:]

The apes which yell out "I love mum" or something like that, i also like the finglonger and the What If Machine.

[Reply #67 on:]

i liked the what if machine, just because i always ask myself that question... "what if...?"

You wonder "what if life were more like a videogame" too?

[Reply #69 on:]

You've pooh-pohhed his electric frankfurter! Nobody mentioned it. Plus, can anyone think what it might have actually done? It might be fun to come up with theories. (But then again it might not)

[Reply #70 on:]

The what if machine.  And the smelloscope.  Not to sure about the device that lets anyone sound like him though...

[Reply #71 on:]

hmmmm i think the Racoon toaster although that wasnt an invention on its own. well now Zoidberg can eat Racoon with bread 

[Reply #72 on:]

I dont know how to say this (english) but I know that my favorite invention in spanish is the:
Oloroscopio.

[Reply #73 on:]

oloroscopio? sounds like you mean the smell-o-scope.

[Reply #74 on:]

Cu-tie-McWhiskers - 16' tall with laser cannons for eyes.

Gotta like that.

its true he said"i DESIGNED it myself"

[Reply #77 on:]

i say the albono apes and the professor did invent the ship and the engines were his specific design because in a clone of my own we find out that only the professor knows how the engines work so he is the only one who can fix them and it is up to cubert to fix

[Reply #78 on:]

the electric hot dog i dont know what it does but i want one
also i could use an angry dome
