 I have a handy solution to all the problems related to Fry's physicalityness i.e. his ability to drink a hundred cups of coffe without dying, his "brain thing", his apparent ability to have limbs removed without feeling pain.
 They are a result of his inbreeding! There i think i have solved i lot of logic flaws on this part of the messageboard.
(And then suddenly everyone started yelling at him.)  :)

A nice explanation there EspanolBot, tricky to disprove as there are about zero men in the world who are their own grandfathers  :p

doesnt really make sence to me. i would think the second the atomic blast ripped enis apart that fry would seice to exist instantly, and even if he did reproduce with his grandmother, woudlnt have have looked very different than from what he did with his grandfathers genes.

The explanation is: Fry always was his own grandfather, Enos was never, at any point in his  bloodline.

Of course you're not getting it...
And now for the yelling at Esp.Bot: Inbreeding doesn't turn your stomach and other entrails into a bag of holding, does it? 100 cups of coffee could not be contained within a person, but it has no significance. (Though I suppose Teral might come up with some perfectly plausible theory)

No, but being a Nibblonian apparently does.   ;)

I don't think that that's what he meant.  I think that he was implying that drinking 100 cups of coffee in a 24 hour period would kill a person due to the overdose of caffene.  That's nonsense of course.  Everyone knows that drinking 100 cups of coffee in a 24 hour period grants you super speed.

Anyway, Coffee in the future may be weaker then it is now, thus he can drink 100 cups of coffee and just end up a shaking wreck (with super-speed abilities).

Of course it does. That's why I assumed he meant the other thing.
And the Nibblonians have dark matter refineries in their bowels. you know, 1 pound weighs 1000 pounds. That doesn't explain the weight of the individual Nibblonean though...

Perhaps Nibblonians have some sort of personal control over gravity.  They can't actually affect mass, but they could reduce their weights by reducing the pull of gravity on themselves.

Yes! That is it! And scientifically... it holds up. Just get Stephen Hawking to do the math- he can make anything add up using denial of facts, a thick skull and with the aid of the "ooohh, look at the retarded cripple! He's trying to talk. Let's support him to make him feel good"-sympathy. Friggin moron, that Hawking.

No, but he begs me to send him nude pics of myself in exchange for a time machine he's making. (get that reference and be applauded).
Actually, I just hate his ignorance and reluctance to acknowledge anything but Einstein's theories. We all know that Einstein's theories were riddled with errors. Niels Bohr on the other hand, dat's me boy! He won the 1922 Nobel Prize in physics for his research and theory of atomic structure.
But Hawking just keeps spewing forth material solely based on Einstein's basic work, and when anyone tells him that everyone knows that there are many cases where Einstein's laws have been broken, he just switches off his electro-ears and turns up his speaker.

ALP- to clear this up for you: Fry was always his grandfather. it was his destiny, if you will. he was destined to go to the year 3000 and then to 1947 and become his grandfather.
in a more complicated way of saying it: fry exists in 3 time periods. he existed for a short period of time in 1947, during which he impregnated a woman. his genes were passed on to a son, and then to his son's son, who was him. then he existed from when he was born (1980 or so?) to about 3001, at which point he went back in time to impregnate mildred (his grandmother). then he existed from a few days after then until he dies, which hasn't happened yet in the series.

hmmm..... this seemed less confusing before i tried to explain it.
if anyone wants, i've got one more theory about how the whole time-travel thing works, but i won't post that unless someone asks me to, since this one was so long anyways.

one other thing: everyone thinks his grandfather was enos because mildred never found out fry's name, so she lied and credited enos, her most recent boyfriend. with doing "the nasty"

I thought that "Roswell That Ends Well" made it pretty clear that Enos was gay, what with his conversation in the Malt Shop and his preference for a rather muscle-clad man on a calender rather than Marylin Monroe.

Bushmeister took the words right out of my post. It was clear Enos wasn't too much on the straight side. More importantly, why did Fry originally believe that Enos was his grandfather. God, 3ACV18 and 4ACV10 are two of the most confusing episodes of Futurama ever.

Fry never told Mildred his name, so maybe she just called him "Enos" afterwards?

And concerning that Yancy/Enos thing... everybody has two grandfathers, and as Fry's mother has red hair, I bet Fry is her father. So Fry's father's father could still be called Yancy and Enos could still be called Enos. Well as I stated above, it was rather Fry who was called Enos but... well, you get the point.  ;)

But Fry yells to his fatger in Enos' crotch (disturbing)... He might have been confused at the time. If Fry was wrong, it would solve ALL speculations within the blink of an eye.

Coincidence. And the Futurama writers throwing us a curve ball.

Fry's paternal grandfather is himself. Mildred didn't know Fry's name, and put down Enos as the father of her child. Hence everybody think Fry's paternal grandfather is called Enos.

The child, Fry's father, is called Yancy, probably after Enos father, Yancy.

I would think that he was named after Mildred's father.  If it was Enos' family that had the tradition of naming their sons Yancy, then Enos would probably have been named Yancy as well.

Hey, yeah, that would work, and expalin why Fry's dad left out his own father when talking to Yancy in LOTF.

"Son your name is Yancy, just like me and my grandfather and so on." I always took it to mean it was his (Fry's dad) paternal grandfather who was named Yancy, but the other thing works even better.

Fry's body has changed very much from ep. 1. For instance, he's sterile.

So you don't believe that we're close to finding the Theory of Everything?

There are only three questions of importance:

Of what is the spirit made?
What is worth dying for?
And what is worth living for?
The answer to all questions are the same:
Only love.

It probably made him sterile, but the worms fixed him up in "Parasites Lost".

Dear god futuramamama that was the most insightfull thing ive EVER heard ANY guy in my LIFE say.  :eek: im impressed.

Anyway, it makes sense that fry's "grandma" would just tell everyone that enos was the father of her child because she never saw fry again, and enos was killed in a blast, noone would disagreed, she probalby did this so she wouldnt have a bastard child (ps that one long, grammaticly inchorent sentence)

Because Red hair is a recessive genetic trait, it requires that for it to show up in a set of parents offspring they must both be carrying the red hair gene. therefore its quite possible for Fry to be the father of his father.

Mildred's brown hair gene dominates Fry's Red hair gene. Fry's father carries fry's Red hair gene but has Brown hair himself. Fry's mother carries Red Hair gene (also has red hair). When offspring are born there is a 1/4 chance that the child will have red hair.

I agree with Düffman, the likely lie that Enos was Fry's grandfather was that, yes, she'd be too ashamed to tell her family that she was impregnated by a one-night stand and instead would say it must have been from Enos just before he died and no one would argue with such a delicate issue.

I've always believed that Mildred is really Fry's Mum's Mum, though Grim's theory makes sense, partly because he obviously knows quite a fair bit more about genes than I do. I mean, I'm one of those people who are fine wearing them, but couldn't start to understand them.
But I always thought Fry looks too much like his mother, and Enos too. It's not like a man to confuse his grandparents, but this is Fry.

It could all be a big coincidence, or...perhaps his parents are...."related"
Okay scratch that...

Whoa, mind bogglers all over the place... Hmm... But what if Fry hadn't gone back to the past and slept with his grandmother? Then who would have been his grandfather? It couldn't have been Fry, because he wasn't there! Damn, this is unsolvable, even if you think really, really hard you cant come up with an answer...
