So, how is it that they have the heads of dead people those glass cases. I mean, Nixon is already dead. What did they do clone him, cut off his head and put it in there?

makes sense. Plus, it's the 31st century - your not supposed to question the technology, its meant to be kinda 'everything's possible'. Also, when Fry found his dog, (from the 20th C.), Prof. Farnsworth had a way of not only bringing it back to life, but also of restoring its consciousness to how it was before it died. I can't remember if that only worked for dogs, but I'm sure it could be adapted for humans...

so why not bring the whole person back, not just the head?
Wouldn't be as funny.

Because it's *FUNNIER* to have only the head - there can be all kinds of jokes around it.

I always thought the joke was around the current idea of cryogenics ONLY freezing the heads of people......... Seems a bit of an odd thing to want to do.... Wasn`t Walt Disney rumoured to have had this procedure performed? Or am I talking Sh**?
I've heard that rumor. Steve Jackson of Steve Jackson Games is planning to have his head froze when he dies.

Oh yeah... I never thought of that! Cheers for pointing that out.

You can have either a whole body frreeze, or just the head. The whole body is MUCH more expensive.
You know, I like the way you think. To my knowledge, the whole heads in glass thing has never been explained, but I sem to think along the same lines as your theory.

So how come the head museum never has any heads from people who lived between 2003 (or our present) and 3000? It's like no one important came about after the beginning of the 21st century.
They were probably all destroyed in an alien attack.
They've had some unidentified people in the head museum who can all potentially be from times between now and then. I know Rob Reiner was in the closet of Presidential runner-ups and Jesse (The Head) Ventura was on the shelf with the rest of the former Presidents...

hey man, don't take the piss, hes got a point. a lotta u guys over-analyse stuff too much. just let it be! i notice this stuff too, and maybe it bugs me from time to time, but i just ignore it, because... guess what... IT ISNT IMPORTANT!

He has a point that's been said time and time again... how original! Let fans enjoy the show the way they want and stop getting so anal about it. If he doesn't care about their conversation, then skip it and move on.

hey, what the hell does 'anal' mean here, anyway? it must be some kind of an american term, cos ive never heard it used in the uk. its said quite a lot in the episode where Hermes gets demoted and Bender gets his brain stolen by Morgan (grade 19).

More like people who have to do things precisely, follow the rules exactly to the letter however trivial and pointless they are. A bureaucrat for instance ;)
And I've heard it many times here in the UK, it's just like... a common term :)

It's from Freud. Or rather, one of his students. The exact traits of the anal retentive are parsimony (i.e. stinginess) and obstinacy. The opposite is anal expulsive -- isn't psychology fun? Thanks, Straight Dope. <http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a940211.html>
I'm from the UK, and it's a term that's commonly used here. Maybe not where you live, but it's used in London a lot (and if you're in London, maybe it's not used in your area of the capital). I, though, find it hard to believe that you didn't know what it meant. Oh well.
