Where do their heads in the head museum come from?

Where exactly do the heads in the head museum come from? We see a lot of celebrities from the 20th century who appear be about as old as heads as they are now in 1999, we also see a lot of people, like George Washington, who died long before the technology for preserving heads could have been invented.

Was there some kind of massive slaughter of celebrities early in the 21st century? That would explain why there are so many late 20th century and early 21st century heads in the head museum (Yes I know it's probably just because in the real world the show is produced in the 20th century).

How do they get the heads that died before the year 2000? Are they clones? If so how come they still seem to have the memories of the originals?

Dude, it's a cartoon. In cartoons talking animals get anvils dropped on their heads and bounce back without a scratch. Rule one in cartoon watching: suspend disbelief.

Never eat at a place called Mom's, shoot pool against a guy named Fat's or play cards with someone that answers to Slim.

...or maybe we are to believe that these are some sort of "magical" heads? (comic book guy chuckle)

Simple. They're not the ACTUAL heads, they're specially cloned and bred in laboratories for the express purpose of being preserved in small jars.

That, or they figured out how to resurrect the dead...

I always figured that the heads were geneticallty cloned, and in the 30th century they probably figured out a way to clone anything from trace dna...(which they could get at ANY museum).

And heads were created only because:

1. They are small, easily stored. 2. easy to maintain.. 3. Basically the most important part of the person to keep, (you certainly don't want to give it a body, it might escape or something.)

Which brings us to a interesting ep concept.

imagine a head from the musium getting the rest of it's body, and is waking around free. The government (perhaps led by Zap himself) is after him, and he befriends the gang?

maybe Leela falls in love with him.

But they couldn't yet find a way for the heads to be self sustaining.

Max Weinberg's head died because it didn't eat.

Unless, of course, it was another bit of wacky Conan humour. :)

BTW, where was Andy Richter's head?

After a thousand years he got tired of playing second bananna and got his own show on Fox-a remake/update of Herman's Head.

A race of Martains came down, decapitated the celebrities, and attached the heads to dogs. Seriously, remember all those alien invasions while Fry was cryogenically frozen?
