Bender's upbringings

Hey all.

With last nights episode and it showing Bender's actual birth we ahve another piece that doesn't fit in the puzzle of his life before he found himself waiting in line behind Fry for the Suicide Booth.

What I mean is he went through school in a matter of seconds, whereas in "Hell Is Other Robots" he referred to Fender as a robot he hadn't seen since high school. Also, did he go straight to college where he became an ERR (epsilon rho rho, which is strange because with the level of intelligence the writers have for this show you'd think they'd know that in Greek rho may make the R sound, but has the symbol of a P) legend?

I'm too lazy to go watch every ep over again, but those are the only two referrences to Bender's past, besides the newest one, that I can remember. I think there was one in "Mother's Day" that was just a picture of Bender at a year old or something, of course drinking and smoking cigars.

Does anybody know of what other links to Bender's past have been shown so far?

Thanks.

He also went to high school with the Drunken Sailor Robot. Personally, I think it works because technically, he went to high school with every robot built in that factory. Fender and Drunken Sailor now just have deeper origins, Bender's is not any more particularly convoluted. I was a bit worried about consistency on the show overall, then I realized that every character, AFAIK, really does pronounce 'ask' 'aks'

In "Anthology of Interest," at the start of Act II, Leela says, "I don't know what to ASK it." There may be other such slip-ups (of course, Fry saying "ask" doesn't count, since that's the pronunciation he was familiar with).

There's another inconsistency with him showing a picture of his mom in the xmas ep. The construction robot looks totally different to the one that assembled him in "Bendless Love".

Remember, that this version of Bender's past is told by Bender himself, and therefore does not necessarily mean it's the truth.
