Biography

Professor Hubert Farnsworth is the most senior living member among The Academy of Professors. Born in 2841, he is, in truth, 160 years old although he claims to only be 150. He misrepresents his age in order to bypass the earth law which stipulates that anyone over 160 must be taken to the near death star to be used as an energy source. Farnsworth is Fry’s great nephew to the 30th degree.
