Another Subterrianian Mystery

Because it would be an extremely dumb move to do otherwise.

I think that this could be the remenant of an unexplored plotline. And the reason The G Man and David X havnt mentioned it is because it releates to Futurama's overall story arc.

Maybe it's an in-joke, or maybe what Matt calls 'Freeze-frame grabs'. But I like the idea of a hidden mystery...

I noticed something else like this in Simpsons. There was a kid in the detention room and then they walked into the canteen and there was the same kid. May be it was a clone!

Doesn't Yancey stay behind, in 2000, get married, and (his wife) give birth to Philip J. Fry, the first man on Mars?

If Fry is 25 when he gets frozen, guessing Yancey is about 3 years older from Fry's birth scene in "Luck of the Fryrish", that makes Yancey 28 in 2000.

Yancey's son is born when Yancey is in his mid-30s (according to voice credits), say, 33 to be generous, meaning the first man to walk on Mars was born circa 2005.

So, with a wife and child, Yancey volunteers for cryogenic freezing?  Unlikely, although we can all imagine scenarios where he might.

Accidentally?  Less likely than two brothers winning $100 million in lotteries six years apart.

If world population doubles every 100 years, then (guessing half the population was destroyed during the alien invasion in, say, 2200, while Fry was frozen), I'd guess about 1.5 trillion humans ALIVE in the universe in 3000, and about 3.0 trillion that have EVER lived.

DNA has a lot of permutations, but heck, we've had look-alikes with the mere 12 billion people that are living and have ever lived!

Thoughts?

None. Instead I suggest you read this.
And perhaps from the start?
