exactly, stephen hawking in a pizzeria, is proof that the what if machine doesn't make sense, thats why there are all paradox problems,
honestly picking this apart is like saying how can characters in simpsons be alive if they die in the treehouse of horror episodes i know its the point of this forum, but there's nothing in this episode that needs to be discussed

Originally posted by J.P. Diddy Wow: What we have here is a paradox. In Fry's question to the What-If machine he wants to know what would happen if he never went to the 30th century right? Right. So, what happens when Fry enters the Cryogenics Lab is that Nibbler is hiding under the table ready to make Fry fall into the tube, but Future Fry comes and (instead of like what happened in "The Why Of Fry" ) actually stops Fry from falling into the tube. Then when Future Fry disapears back into the parallel universe thingy there is no new Fry to take his place and that explains why Bender doesn't know who he is. Without a Future Fry or a Fry the Planet Express Crew is still together but just without any recolection of Fry therefore explaining everything. Nuh-uh. I shall list why those four in particular are in that rip in space/time: Bender: He was heading for the suicide booth, had Fry not come then he may have really been killed. Leela: Without Fry, she'd be stuck at her dead-end Fate Assignment Officer job. Professor: Fry is the Professor's great (x30) uncle and great (x32) grandfather, if Fry never went back in time to concieve himself then the Professor would never exist. Zoidberg: If Fry hadn't been around and later interferred with Zoidberg's relationship with Edna, Zoidy would be a dead corpse in Decapod 10's ocean.

Actually Zoidberg was doing quite poorly in wooing Edna (not to mention any female). Fry was the one who actually gave him a chance by teaching him what to say and do. Now, it's true that Fry did later interfere, but had he not been there. Zoidy would still most likely be alive.

Somehow I doubt Zoidy's profession has anything to do with his personality. I think he's just a loser. (albeit a lovable one) Even in the flashbacks, we see that he's not all that likeable on his planet

I never watched this episode but I've heard good comments about it. I only watched Anthology of Interest II (I hate it) So I guess I cannot really mention an error but, ohh wait I can... ohh noo I can´t!

Professor: *bang, bang, bang* "There! I finished fine tuning my what-if machine. It can answer any what-if question accurate to within one tenth of a plausibility unit." Leela: "That's so plausible I can't believe it!"
So all the things that don't fit in, are simply of by a 1/10th pu! That explains everything! edit to add: I asume none of you/us know just how large a plausability unit is ?

There is another problem with the crynogenics lab. If Fry was frozen for a thousand years, then how could he have a nephew? He did not have any children before he was frozen, so Prof. Farnsworth should not esist.

Although originally it was a sister, says so in the S1 DVD commentary somewhere... EDIT: And behold the magical powers of the edit button.
