Originally posted by Cube_166: Fry is older than the Professor. He's lived since the year 2000. Just because he's physically 25 (was it?) doesn't negate the fact that he has lived for over 1000 years. So? Bender is older than them both, being somewhere in the region of 1060. Anyway I would say that dear old Zoidy is in his late middle ages, something like late 40s/early 50s.

I think Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles makes no sense, at least the end. Before going into the pond of aging or whatever it was called, Fry, Leela, Amy, and possibly Hermes (I don't remember it that well) were all babies, and Farnsworth was about 5 or so. (he talked like a baby, but could walk well enough) That means that the younger characters un-aged between 20-30ish years, yet Farnsworth got about 155 years younger. Zoidberg could have been effected by the tar in a different way, so it isn't sure how old he is.
In A Fishful of Dollars, Zoidberg said "My people ate them all, we're sorry!", but that might mean that the race as a whole is sorry, not the current living ones. At the end, when he says "That stench, that heavenly stench!" He could have just been responding to it because he liked the smell, not that he knew what it was. For example, a child who never smelled baking cookies before would probably enjoy the smell. Since Zoidy likes fish more than most other foods (apparently, even though he'll eat pretty much anything due to his poorness), he would like the anchovy smell. There is no proof that he was alive during 2200 or whenever they went extinct.

1. Farnsie was in there longer; he would have aged more. Also, what's to say that the tar is all the same concentration? Hermes might have hit a more concentrated patch than the others and aged faster  2. I think "that stench, that heavenly stench" was a recognition thing though. If you're talking about linguistics "that" would imply that he was referring to something specific. I mean, if he didn't know what it was, wouldn't he just come in and go "that smells good" or something? Because by that point in the series, he wasn't poor yet (that's not till 2ACV07) so he wouldn't react so OTT through sheer hunger. I dunno.
