How old is Bender?

Since he remembers Clem Johnson (The Blearnsball player) and the old robot leagues, I suspect he's at least as old as the Professor. Bender was also interested in robot porn that was so old, it was ignored by an entire planet of robots (then again, Bender may see it as "Hey! Porn is porn!") What other clues have there been there to Bender's age?

Well, Bender was originally programmed to bend girders for the Stop-n-Drop booths, so theoretically he might have been with the company since 2008, but since I doubt we'll have girder-bending alcoholic robots around in 9 years, it's probably much later than that. I'd say he's pretty young, considering he only discovered what the girders were _for_ a short time ago.

Damn, grosse, you really look over these things don't you? I admire this cunning ability to see things a lot of us miss, keep up the good work, you might even get a promotion =)

Do I detect the faintest trace of sarcasm?

sorry grosse if I made it sound like it was, I'm not a sarcastic person, I do admire your creativity.

I like to just be funny when I compliment, sorry if I mislead you.

Heh, genuine compliments are so unheard of nowdays, unfortunately...

I don't think so. I think he was genuine while being amusing, too. I, for one, think that your reply was bang-on accurate and impressive.

Since he can wipe out his memory at will, maybe he has just wiped out that information everytime he learned it till now.

This question of Bender's age brings to mind another question: Will the characters age normally, or will they remain suspended at the same age forever a la "The Simpsons"? The question wasn't in the FAQ, and I don't remember Matt Groening mentioning it in the pre-"Futurama" round magazine interviews.

Probably.. However I doubt it will be as noticable as it was with the Simpsons. Lisa and Bart being in Elementry school got old several seasons ago. Christ, even Pebbles grew up...

Yes, but the Simpsons are just a show...Futurama is "real"...according to Mr. Groening.

I can see the final episode with Fry and Leela with grey hair sitting in electric rocking chairs reminiscing about the good old days before suicide booths cost a dollar and Slurm still was only 25% narcotics...
