Talk:Philip J. Fry

Fry's Birthdate
I got his birthdate off of Wikipedia. And several other people list his birthdate as being in 1974. Is there any evidence to support this? In the original script, he states that he was conceived during Nixon's resignation speech, which occured on August 9, 1974, which would place his birth nine months later, sometime in May, 1975. I know the original script isn't really official, but if no contradicting evidence made it into any episodes, I think we can take it as such.

Fry As His Own Grandfather
I was thinking this out one day and I realized that Enos is His mother's father. The reason bing is that in one episode, Fry's father, Yancy, said that every first born Fry names his first born son Yancy. Just a thought. --Fallettus 10:57, 22 February 2007 (PST)Someguy564
 * This has been discussed many times in many places, including here. Yancy says "my grandfather and his father and so on"--he never mentions his father. Enos is his father. Fry's mother's hair looks like Enos', though, so it may be revealed in later episodes that Fry went further back in time and created the Fry line in the first place. Or something. See Fry Family Tree and its talk page. --Buddy 12:52, 22 February 2007 (PST)

But why is it he his father's father? What makes us so sure of that?--Fallettus 12:32, 26 February 2007 (PST)
