In the episode teenage mutant leelas hurdles why does fry leela etc ages go back 12 years or something like that were as benders goes back less than four

Also when the professer uses his age check thing it goes down in tenths of a year every second which should mean theyd be in pre life in like under a hundread seconds

Here's a crazy theory I concocted a few years back: the mud, doesn't deage you a set number of years, but a percentage.

Fry start out as 27-28 years, and right after he comes up, his age is 14. Leela looks 14-15 too. Amy looks more like around 11, or something. All indicate a 50% loss of age.

Hermes have a son, Dwight, who looks 12-13, making Hermes in his mid-thirties. Half that, and he'll be around 17. Maybe a bit on the high side, but Hermes does look slightly older than Fry and Leela in this shot:



Farnsworth went from 160 to 53, a loss of 66%. Could correspond nicely with him sitting in less-concentrated mud for a few minutes prior to the cave-in.

Yes it does. The younger they get the smaller the increments get, so allthough the decrease were 1/10 of a year at that particular moment it will be smaller afterwards.

Welcome to PEEL. Enjoy it jere.

But, Teral, don't you see that if your theory is correct, they would never actually reach pre life?  If their ages decrease by a percentage, they can never actually reach zero.

Yeah, Farnsworth's theory about pre-life is wrong. Considering he's a senile, crackpot inventor that's not suprising. Time he left science to the middle-aged.

Or it's very possible that he was referring to life in the womb (which they did reach) as pre-life, though that's sure to stir up all sorts of crazy useless debates.

Actually, the 1/10 of a year thing isn't all that wrong. When Farnsworth did that, that was after they went in the thingy to reage, but deaged and were now deaging faster. So the Teral Theory of 50% is reasonable and the 1/10 a Year part can fit in as well because of the positioning of the 1/10 a Year sighting, which was after the reage attempt.
