True, but I'm fairly sure the Terran Year was used on the DVD menu. Nibblers race is longlived, they're not immortal.

They are also celebrated poopers.
The vet uses the clarifier “if”. This means that the rings in Nibblers tooth could have nothing to do with his age (and apparently, according to nibbler himself, they do not). This is just good writing on behalf of the writers, as this scene does not conclude absolutely what Nibbler’s age is.

In "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid", it showed that Planet Eternium was the exact center of the universe. With that in mind, let's now consider Earth. An Earth year is the time it takes to go around our sun. Therefore, an Eternium year would be the time it took to go around its sun. Except, its the center of the universe! Theoretically, everything in the universe revolves around the center of the universe (Earth revolves around the Sun, the Solar System revolves around the Milky Way, and the Milky Way revolves around the center of the universe, or Planet Eternium). This means Planet Eternium doesn't revolve around anything, so you can't count years there. Again, this is all just a theory. Think about it.

That's like saying I'm 21 but humans have been around for hundreds of years. My age has nothing to do with human existence. It's just how long I've been here. Same for Nibbler.

Nibbler is nothing like the common tree. Nibbler's race is longlived, not immortal. Welcome to PEEL. Enjoy it here.

Originally posted by I.C.Weiner: Nibbler is 5 but on the episode Space Pilot 3000 Nibbler is there before fry gets frozen Huh? So? I'm confused... Originally posted by Spacedal11: The way I see it is that in human years Nibbler is only 5. But I'm sure he's millions of years old. Being that his planet was already 18 years old when the universe emerged. Now I'm really confused. I think the simple answer is that the vet was wrong. Nibbler is not like the common tree, and the rings on his teeth have nothing to do with his age. Besides, the vet was still woozy after being kicked by a gazelle and mauled by a jaguar anyway.

Not neccesarily. The Niblonians, as a species, is older than the Universe, but the individual Nibblonian probably have a lifespan considerably shorter, probably a coupl of dozens millenia.

seeing that it takes a thousand years to pronounce the Niblonians names properly, Id say that they were a long living race.

Of course they're a long living race, Nibbler even said that in TWOF, you people are stating the obvious like that Nibbler was there when Fry was frozen, Nibbler's speices has been around since before the beginning of time, that Nibbler hasn't, that Nibbler has, and so on going around in circles. You guys need to read the 8th post, the DVDs said Nibbler was 3277 years old, that answer's the thread all together, because the DVDs are all knowing. The vet saying that Nibbler was 5 was only going by the guess that the rings indicated age, but since the all knowing DVDs said he's not 5, than that means the vet was wrong or he didn't see all the rings, as said by sixbynine. So the vet is stupid, Nibbler is 3277 years old, he hasn't been around since the beginning of the universe, his species has been around since the beginning of universe, Fry is stupid but gifted, and so on.
