During a house fire, every second counts. That's why it's important for you and your family to be prepared.
A recent study by the American Red Cross found that many homeowners are both overconfident and underprepared when it comes to fire safety. Practicing your escape plan twice a year helps increase the odds of survival, but 70% don't. Even more, 65% don't test their smoke alarms once a month – a quick, precautionary step that can cut the risk of dying in a fire in half.
Hope for the Best, Prepare for the Worst
Are you doing everything you can to help protect your family in the event of a house fire? Here are seven tips to make (or improve) your own fire escape plan:
- Map your exits. Draw a map of your home's floor plan. Then, establish two ways to exit from each room. If you have young children, take a walk around your home to show them exactly where each escape window, door or route is.
- Determine a meeting place. Define one area where everyone should gather after escaping your home in the event of a fire. It should be a specific place, like a tree or mailbox, that's a safe distance from your home's structure. And make sure firefighters or emergency personnel can see you there, too.
- Know who's on point to help. Select a captain who will help young children or assist anyone who is unable to get out on their own, like seniors or those with limited mobility. Selecting one adult for this job will help eliminate further confusion during a chaotic time.
- Teach your kids to get low. In a house fire, smoke can be as dangerous as flames. Explain to your children the importance of staying low to the ground during a fire. Practice crawling around the perimeter of a room to show them the proper way to escape. Tools like this workbook from the U.S. Fire Administration can serve as a great teaching resource, too.
- Check your smoke alarms. Ensure that you have at least one smoke alarm on every level of your home. Then test them regularly to ensure their batteries work. Educate your kids and let them hear the sound of an alarm in advance, so they'll recognize it during an actual emergency.
- Practice, practice, practice. To make sure everyone understands the plan, conduct your own home fire drill. Send each family member to their room and have one person sound the smoke alarm. Start a timer and follow your designated routes to an outside meeting place. Then, check your escape time to ensure everyone makes it out in under two minutes.
- Incentivize your fire drills. If you have younger kids, turn your drills into a game. See if you can speed walk from your bedrooms to your safe meeting space. If it happens under two minutes, reward everyone with a favorite dessert or a new toy. If you have an Amazon Alexa, you can play Pedro's Fire Safety Challenge which teaches kids age-appropriate skills for handling a home fire.

If you live with arthritis, you know what a challenge it can be to find relief from joint pain and other symptoms. But there are many things you can do to manage and control your arthritis and live a healthy, active life. Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be powerful additions to any treatment plan, without causing harmful side effects.
Arthritis according to Western Medicine
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis, affecting more than 21 million Americans. It occurs when the cartilage between the joints breaks down, usually affecting the hips, hands, knees, low back, or neck.
Some factors can increase your risk, including a joint injury, being overweight, aging, and genetics. Putting stress on a joint through repetitive motion can also increase your risk.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is another common type, affecting 2.1 million people in the United States. This chronic condition occurs when the lining of the joints becomes inflamed, and can lead to long-term joint damage and even loss of movement. Women are two to three times more likely to get RA.
RA often starts in the hands or feet, and usually affects the same joints on both sides of the body. Symptoms include:
- Warm, swollen or tender joints
- Joint stiffness, especially in the morning
- Fatigue
- Flu-like symptoms such as fever
- Muscle pain and weakness
Treatment options
Western treatment generally focuses on relieving pain and preventing further joint damage. Often this is done through the use of anti-inflammatory drugs and other medications, as well as through self-care and physical therapy. In some cases, surgery may even be needed.
- Weakness or deficiency of the internal organs
- Constitutional imbalance
- Physical injury and/or trauma
- Changes with the quality and quantity of Qi
- Blockage or inadequate flow of Qi
- Invasion from external factors such as Wind, Cold and Heat
- Unresolved emotional upset, mainly related to stress and anxiety
Acupuncture offers a safe, natural way to control joint pain and other symptoms and maintain overall health. In fact, a 2004 study showed that patients with OA of the knee experienced a 40 percent decrease in pain and a 40 percent increase in function after receiving a series of acupuncture treatments.
A whole-body approach to relief
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) take a holistic, or whole-body approach to health. According to these theories, Qi (pronounced "chee") is the vital energy that animates the body and protects it from illness. It flows through pathways called meridians, providing nourishment for every cell, tissue, muscle and organ. When there is an imbalance or blockage in the flow of Qi, physical symptoms may result.
During treatment, fine, sterile needles will be inserted at specific acupoints along the meridians in order to unblock any obstruction and allow Qi to flow freely.
Your practitioner may also recommend herbal remedies, massage, and stretching. Be sure to discuss any new medications with your doctor to avoid any potential interactions.
What you can do
It's important to remember that there is no "quick fix" for arthritis, and it may take time to achieve results. However, there are lifestyle changes you can make that may help you find relief faster.
- Exercise can help increase your flexibility, strengthen muscles and bones, and maintain a healthy weight.
- Diet is another important issue. Stick to a healthy diet made up of a wide variety of unprocessed, organic foods. Your acupuncturist may also suggest adding natural anti-inflammatories to your diet.
- Stress relief can also help. By learning to identify your stressors and lowering your stress through techniques such as breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, Tai Chi or Qi Gong, you can improve your state of mind and your health.
- Maintaining balance in your life is also key. A balance of rest and relaxation with activity and exercise will keep you feeling your best.
By working closely with your acupuncturist and other treatment providers, you will be taking charge of your arthritis and taking a step toward a healthier life.

ATLANTA — Cable TV's "The Walking Dead" has inspired a new convention, a podcast, and a one-man play.
The podcast and Atlanta-based convention are the creations of Eric Nordhoff and James Frazier, also known as the "Walker Stalkers" because of a trip they made last fall from Nashville, Tenn., to Georgia to see the AMC show being filmed.
The convention, Walker Stalker Con, is expected to draw 10,000 or more participants when it's held early next month, Nordhoff said.
"The Walking Dead" characters battle zombies known as "walkers" in the streets of downtown Atlanta and in forests, small towns and a prison south of the city.
The convention will feature appearances by some of the show's actors, including Norman Reedus, who slays walkers with a crossbow as Daryl Dixon; Andrew Lincoln, who plays Sheriff Rick Grimes, and Lauren Cohan, also known as Maggie Greene on the show.
The series returned for its fourth season this month with its biggest audience ever. The 16.1 million people who watched the Oct. 13 series premier shattered the show's previous record of 12.4 million, the Nielsen company said.
Nordhoff and Frazier are neighbors in suburban Nashville, and had gathered every Sunday in Frazier's basement to watch "The Walking Dead." They'd heard talk of a big day of filming in Senoia, the town south of Atlanta where much of the show is produced, so they got up before sunrise and made the trip to Georgia.
"It was our dream day," recalls Nordhoff, 42.
"We got to meet I think eight members of the cast," he recalls. "Somebody called us the âWalker Stalkers' when we were there."
The two decided to develop a podcast that has become popular with fans of the show. The podcast features discussions of many aspects of the show's storyline and interviews with people behind the scenes, such as special effects makeup expert and show producer Greg Nicotero.
In April, Nordhoff and Frazier came up with the idea of holding the convention, which will take place Nov. 1-3.
The show has also inspired one of its actors to stage a one-man play.
Robert "IronE" Singleton, who played "T-Dog" in the first three seasons of the show, will portray 18 characters in "Blindsided by The Walking Dead," which tells the story of how he grew up in the Perry Homes housing project during Atlanta's crack cocaine epidemic before he found work as an actor.
A key scene of "The Walking Dead" was filmed on a downtown Atlanta rooftop just a few miles from the project, where violence was ever-present during Singleton's childhood and teenage years.
"Blindsided by The Walking Dead" is a work of drama, comedy, dance, spoken word and rap. Its characters include a thug, a crack addict, Richard III from Shakespeare, God and Singleton's deceased mother.
"I think it could inspire people and save lives," said the 38-year-old actor, who also will take part in a panel discussion during the convention.
"It's about embracing truth and love through everything you do."

Fact or fiction? Sex burns a lot of calories. Snacking or skipping breakfast is bad. School gym classes make a big difference in kids' weight.
All are myths or at least presumptions that may not be true, say researchers who reviewed the science behind some widely held obesity beliefs and found it lacking.
Their report in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine says dogma and fallacies are detracting from real solutions to the nation's weight problems.
"The evidence is what matters," and many feel-good ideas repeated by well-meaning health experts just don't have it, said the lead author, David Allison, a biostatistician at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Independent researchers say the authors have some valid points. But many of the report's authors also have deep financial ties to food, beverage and weight-loss product makers — the disclosures take up half a page of fine print in the journal.
"It raises questions about what the purpose of this paper is" and whether it's aimed at promoting drugs, meal replacement products and bariatric surgery as solutions, said Marion Nestle, a New York University professor of nutrition and food studies.
"The big issues in weight loss are how you change the food environment in order for people to make healthy choices," such as limits on soda sizes and marketing junk food to children, she said. Some of the myths they cite are "straw men" issues, she said.
But some are pretty interesting.
Sex, for instance. Not that people do it to try to lose weight, but claims that it burns 100 to 300 calories are common, Allison said. Yet the only study that scientifically measured the energy output found that sex lasted six minutes on average — "disappointing, isn't it?" — and burned a mere 21 calories, about as much as walking, he said.
That's for a man. The study was done in 1984 and didn't measure the women's experience.
Among the other myths or assumptions the authors cite, based on their review of the most rigorous studies on each topic:
—Small changes in diet or exercise lead to large, long-term weight changes. Fact: The body adapts to changes, so small steps to cut calories don't have the same effect over time, studies suggest. At least one outside expert agrees with the authors that the "small changes" concept is based on an "oversimplified" 3,500-calorie rule, that adding or cutting that many calories alters weight by one pound.
—School gym classes have a big impact on kids' weight. Fact: Classes typically are not long, often or intense enough to make much difference.
—Losing a lot of weight quickly is worse than losing a little slowly over the long term. Fact: Although many dieters regain weight, those who lose a lot to start with often end up at a lower weight than people who drop more modest amounts.
—Snacking leads to weight gain. Fact: No high quality studies support that, the authors say.
—Regularly eating breakfast helps prevent obesity. Fact: Two studies found no effect on weight and one suggested that the effect depended on whether people were used to skipping breakfast or not.
—Setting overly ambitious goals leads to frustration and less weight loss. Fact: Some studies suggest people do better with high goals.
Some things may not have the strongest evidence for preventing obesity but are good for other reasons, such as breastfeeding and eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, the authors write. And exercise helps prevent a host of health problems regardless of whether it helps a person shed weight.
"I agree with most of the points" except the authors' conclusions that meal replacement products and diet drugs work for battling obesity, said Dr. David Ludwig, a prominent obesity research with Boston Children's Hospital who has no industry ties. Most weight-loss drugs sold over the last century had to be recalled because of serious side effects, so "there's much more evidence of failure than success," he said.

About Weather Models
The American GFS (Global Forecast System) model run in two parts: the first part (higher resolution) goes out to 192 hours with charts for every 6th hour. The second part (lower resolution) runs from 204 to 384 hours with charts for every 12th hour. In other words, first part goes to 8 days and second part goes to 16 days.
This numerical model is run four times a day, using 0, 6, 12 and 18 UTC data, and charts update begins at 3:30, 9:30, 15:30 and 21:30 UTC. First part resolution charts is about 100km (1º), and second part is about 250km (2.5º).
This model is run by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
ECMWF is best known for this global operational forecast model, been officially known as the "Integrated Forecast System (IFS)" but usually known informally as the "ECMWF" (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts)
The IFS is a global model that runs every 12 hours and its output runs out to 10 days (240 hours) in 24 hours intervals. Original IFS resolution is about 50km (0.5º), but charts resolution is interpolated to 100km (1º).This numerical model is run two times a day, using 0 and 12 UTC data; charts update begins at 6:00 and 18:00 UTC.
This model is run by European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)
UKMO, also known as UKMET (United Kingdom Met Office), is the global model product of Unified Model.
The UKMO model runs every 12 hours and its output runs out to 3 days (72 hours) in 6 hours interval (6h to 48h) and 12 hours interval (48h to 72h), with a resolution about 125km (1.25º). This numerical model is run two times a day, using 0 and 12 UTC data; charts update begins at 3:50 and 15:50 UTC.

- "Farnsworth" redirects here. For other uses, see Farnsworth (disambiguation).
Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth is an aged, eccentric, yet accomplished inventor, founder and owner of Planet Express and an honorary Globetrotter. He is crotchety, absent-minded and sometimes brilliant, most well-known for his work in 30th century robotics. In 2999, he was the last known relative of Philip J. Fry. Later, Professor Farnsworth discovered that he had fathered a son, as well as the clone that he had kept hidden. In addition, he also serves as a tenured professor at Mars University teaching the Mathematics of Quantum Neutrino Fields. Farnsworth is an inventor of both useful and impractical things, some of which are extremely dangerous, such as his Doomsday devices.
Personality-wise, he varies from callous disregard to sentimental affection. He has no objection to sending his crew on missions which may eventually kill them, and has sent previous crews to their deaths before. (At times, he even seems eager to send crews on life-threatening missions.) Farnsworth is the oldest living member of the Academy of Inventors, where he often competes with his arch nemesis, Dr. Ogden Wernstrom.
Hubert Farnsworth is a mad scientist, though how extreme this tendency is varies depending on how writers feel best suits the episode. Farnsworth's name comes from Philo Farnsworth, who invented the television. In addition, his first name, Hubert, may come from Eric Kaplan's former professor, Hubert Dreyfus. The only thing his name has in common with the name of Philip J. Fry is the unsettled "J." as their middle initial, but this may just be a common joke Matt Groening sets for his characters.
Though Professor Farnsworth is a genius, he is also very senile and sometimes forgets things that had happened only moments earlier. He also has a habit of saying "Good news, everyone", which more often than not means bad news. He is known for following up his statements with completely contradictory statements, such as his definition of Space Honey from "The Sting". Hubert also often appears indifferent to the welfare of his crew, often sending them on dangerous missions which could get them killed, though it's highly unlikely that he does this intentionally. He could also sometimes have periods of maniacal laughter. However Farnsworth isn't actually a bad person and appears to share some level of friendship with the other members of Planet Express. He also cares about his clone, Cubert, treating him as though he were his biological son.
Farnsworth also enjoys public nudity, and may have been convicted. His urge to undress becomes much greater around Xmas.
One of the most frequent recurring gags in the show is that Farnsworth says/acts something but immediately the truth was that his intentions were the opposite compared to how it seemed. One example is in That Darn Katz! where Farnsworth complains that he is trying to run a meeting while the Planet Express Crew try to pet Professor Katz's cat then he states that means he should be the one petting the kitty.
Early Life
Hubert J. Farnsworth was born on 9 April, 2841 in a prison – although claimed until 3001 that it was actually 2851 – in the nerdiest slum of New New York, Hell's Laboratory. At age 8, he learned to read, albeit while still in diapers.
Hubert enjoyed his teenage years as a nerd with an affection for role-playing games. After 14 years of graduate school, Farnsworth became a scientist and designed such things as fast cars, trendy night spots and beautiful women, all out of his one-room apartment. Evidence suggests that he may also have been a hippie and a disco boy, possibly during graduate school. In The Near Death-Wish, it is revealed that Hubert spent 25 years in a mental institution at the behest of his parents.
Career path
By 2900 Farnsworth had taken a teaching position at Mars University where his most promising student was an up and coming young science undergrad named Ogden Wernstrom. Sadly, the two had a falling out over a pop-quiz score which lead to Wernstrom's hundred year quest for revenge (1ACV11). While retaining a role at the university, Hubert assisted Unit 47 in curing the posy infestation (6ACV04) and was eventually hired at Mom's Friendly Robot Company, staying there for the next fifty years. During this time his inventiveness lead to the creation of many new products and breakthrough technologies, such as the use of Dark Matter as fuel, the first robot capable of qualifying for a boat loan (2ACV10) and a sport-utility robot, the design of which would become the basis of all robots running in the early 31st century (4ACV08). It was during this time he also began an on-again, off-again relationship with Mom (2ACV14), the owner of the company, who was having a similar relationship with Wernstrom. By the end of this period, Mom had fallen pregnant with their child, a secret she would keep from him for many years (BG). While on a mission for Mom in 2927 on Triton, Farnsworth contracted Yetiism and was only cured in 3011 in the Planet Express headquarters (6ACV18) by Dr Zoidberg.
Planet Express
After numerous tries with Mom, and with a need for money to fund his research, he founded Planet Express, an interstellar delivery company, on 2961. He hired his friend of 34 years, Dr. John A. Zoidberg as the company's staff doctor. Hermes Conrad was hired as the company's bureaucrat some time later. In 2998, Amy Wong entered the company as an engineering intern, but has since remained in the company for several years. Also in his employ is Scruffy, the company janitor who lives in the basement of Planet Express.
Farnsworth has had numerous crews, whom he frequently sends to their doom. As a result many have died horribly or gone missing; the first crew hired were swallowed by a Four-dimensional space whale. Shortly after one such instance, late on the 31st of December 2999 (1ACV01), he learned that he was not the last surviving member of his family. His long lost and far removed uncle, Philip J. Fry, had just been defrosted. Fry, Turanga Leela and Bender Bending Rodríguez were hired early the next morning and have been his longest surviving crew, who despite 12 years in the company remain alive.
Farnsworth doesn't always just send his crew on simple delivery missions, but has sent them on charity missions as well as highly controversial missions. Even when his crew and company is unrelated or unsuited to the task, he isn't shy to send them along anyway.
As a member of the Academy of Inventors, the Professor has created many things. Often these don't live up to his expectations and are ridiculed by his fellow inventors. Occasionally, however, they can help save the day; the Smell-O-Scope for instance was laughed at by colleagues and Wernstrom had his revenge by giving it a poor grade, shortly afterward it detected a giant ball of garbage in space that was on a collision course with New New York. After the Planet Express crew averted the crisis, Wernstrom once more announced a thirst for revenge.
After his 150th birthday party, Hubert realised that he had no one to continue his work when he is gone. After days hidden in the lab, he emerged announcing that the clone he'd been growing the past twelve years would be his heir. Unfortunately, Cubert did not want to follow in his footsteps. Farnsworth finally decided that his life was over, and revealed his actual age, 160, the age at which Sunset Squad Robots would come and take him away to the Near Death Star. Soon after a rescue by his crew, Cubert finally decided to carry on with Farnsworth's research.
Corporate Takeover
After a brief reunion with Mom on Mother's Day of the previous year, 3002 saw Farnsworth's company taken over twice. On the first occasion, Cubert and Hermes' son Dwight expanded their paper route to consume Planet Express. Soon after this takeover, Awesome Express fell apart due to poor management. On the second occasion, a shareholder meeting resulted in a mysterious stranger taking over as CEO from Farnsworth. This person's running of the company was more successful, despite no deliveries being made during this time. Inevitably the company dropped back to its original poor stock price after the new CEO's death and Farnsworth's reinstatement. Planet Express was also taken over by The Scammers because Farnsworth unwittingly signed a document transferring ownership of Planet Express to them, thinking it was a form to accept the money from a Spanish lottery.
Old Problems
When a heatwave hits and the usual method to counteract global warming fail, the Professor is forced to admit that all modern robots are descended from his designs, which produce lots of pollution. The scientists at the conference plan to destroy the robots is soon thwarted and Hubert received a medal for saving the planet and its robots. About a week later after his staff decided that he had become too old, they took him to The Bubbling Geezer a visit that resulted in everyone becoming younger. The eventual resolution of this situation took them to the Fountain of Aging, where the waters made him "even older" than he had been.
Dark Matters
Over the years, Farnsworth's feud with Wernstrom continued to grow, and when an anomaly forms a short distance from the Earth the pair compete in Deathball to decide who will investigate. After Farnsworth's investigation proved unsuccessful the pair found themselves united for the first time since the pop quiz as they collaborated in research together, protested and shared a prison cell. But their new found friendship fell apart once more following an inter-universe relationship with Yivo.
When Mom faked a dark matter shortage in 3008 in order to increase the price of dark matter worldwide, Farnsworth finally told the tale of how he discovered it, and decided to end it all, so that scientists could spend their time on developing cleaner fuels, such as Whale Oil. Farnsworth managed to enter Mom's dark matter mine in Alaska, which turned out to be a Nibblonian farm, where Mom had kept Nibblonians imprisoned for years to produce dark matter. However, with the help of his crew and his long lost son Igner, Farnsworth managed to bring the crystals close enough together to render dark matter useless. After converting to whale oil and receiving a few bribes for scientific endorsements, he joined the rest of the crew on a journey into a wormhole. Although most of the crew were killed as the ship crashed into Earth in early 3010, he survives and brings them back to life.
Professor Farnsworth has been given the following awards.
- The Academy of Inventors award of 3000 (1ACV08).
- One Fields Medal (TBWABB).
- The Polluting Medal of Pollution (4ACV08).
Farnsworth has at on at least 3 occasions gone back to his major love, Mom. At around age 90, he worked for Mom's Friendly Robot Company, where he designed robots for the company as well as toys, such as Q. T. McWhiskers, but Mom's suggestion of turning the toy into a giant made Farnsworth leave her, because she simply didn't understand him and from then on conflict grew between them.
He would later return to Mom's company to work on creating actual robots, but back then, robots were stiff moving and not very efficient, however, when he sacrificed fuel efficiency, he succeeded, unfortunately, this robot design also caused global warming. Why he left Mom this time remains unsettled, but it may be because he once realised she was evil.
On a third occasion, Farnsworth was once again at the company with Mom, where he discovered the secret of Dark Matter, around the time where Mom's sons were born. But when he found out she had left him for Dr. Ogden Wernstrom, he left once again.
While his relationship with Mom has certainly been his largest, it has not been his only one. During a brief period of regaining the appearance of youth using stem cells from GeneWorks, S.K.G., he found a girl willing to date him, although she also turned out to have used her tax rebate for a belly ring to make her appear thinner. There was also a brief fling with Hattie while they were on the Titanic. However since then, Hattie seems to hold a strong hatred towards him; accusing him of being a "cat hater".
In the episode "Proposition Infinity", it is shown that the Professor had a 40 year long relationship with a woman whom he met before Mom. This woman cheated on the Professor with a robot which caused the Professor's hatred towards robossexual couples. It was also later revealed that that woman was herself a robot, and her name was Unit 47.
A creepy utilization of his body occurred in "The Prisoner of Benda", when he trades bodies with Amy. Amy then proceeds to trade bodies with Leela, causing Fry to himself trade bodies with Dr. Zoidberg. Leela used Farnsworth's body to prove that her relationship with Fry is partially physical. At dinner, Leela (in Farnsworth's Body) is disgusted by Fry (in Zoidberg's body), and vice-versa. When Leela-Farnsworth tells Fry-Zoidberg to prove his love, Fry-Zoidberg passionately kisses Leela-Farnsworth. This eventually leads to Leela-Farnsworth having Intercourse with Fry-Zoidberg. this marks the first known time he physically slept with a male. Mentally, however, Leela was the one who slept with Fry-Zoidberg.
The professor, being a vivid inventor, has created numerous inventions, ranging from very sophisticated to down right crazy.

Additional Info

- He was named Farnsworth in honor of Philo Farnsworth, the inventor of modern television, which was unveiled to America at the same World's Fair as the Futurama exhibit that the show is named for, in 1939. Additionally, the name Hubert roughly translates as bright mind in old Germanic.
- There are only two episodes of the show in which the Professor does not appear: "The Why of Fry" and "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" (which are consecutive).
- The Professor's eyes have never been shown to the audience in the main television series, even when his glasses are removed. So far, the only time they have been seen is in the comic book story, "Downsized!", but it is unknown if the reveal was authorized by Matt Groening.
- He has the same blood type as Amy Wong. He has stated that is one of the reasons why he likes "keeping her around" (1ACV02).
- For 6ACV26, he was possibly part of those Characters who swap voices
- Farnsworth is drawn with a gut which resembles that of Bart Simpson but, every time he lifts his shirt, he is shown to be underweight.
- His bank account number is 299792458, which is the speed of light in meters per second.
- Became a wizard (quite possibly a parody of Gandalf) in Bender's Game.
- A running gag with the writers is to drop hints in the show that the professor is a cannibal of sorts.
- Also known as "the Catman," due to his ability to land on his feet after falling great distances. However, prior to "Bender's Game", it had either been so long, or his memory had become so poor, that he himself forgot why they called him the Catman.
- Has a "Thug Life" tattoo on his back.
- His driving position is up against the windscreen of the ship, a parody of the stereotypes of elderly drivers.
- As seen in flashbacks, the Professor had red hair when he was younger, just like Fry. Additionally, some of these flashbacks give him the same hairstyle as his distant ancestor.
- At the start of the series, Farnsworth's voice sounded like a much older, slightly pitched-down version of Fry's voice. As time went on, it became more distinct, partly due to concerns by the creators that viewers with poor eyesight would find it hard to distinguish between the two relatives.
- He is probably the oldest living human on Earth, excluding the heads in jars and people who were cryogenically frozen, because of his escape from the Near Death Star (2ACV10), although his time traveling would make him, chronologically, much, much older.
- The Professor is assumed to be the descendant of Yancy Fry Jr. and his wife. However, in the storyboard for "Space Pilot 3000", the Professor is suggested to be descended from Fry's sister and a presumed brother-in-law named Eddie Farnsworth. Both Fry's sister and Eddie Farnsworth were later cut from the the show altogether.
- In an episode of Phineas & Ferb, a character's full name is given as Hubert Farnsworth.
- As revealed by an offhand comment in "Fry Am the Egg Man", Farnsworth appears to be a Catholic, or perhaps a Space Catholic, though he is quite possibly a devil worshiper, as revealed in "Calculon 2.0" (and implied in other episodes).
- In Simpsorama Farnsworth states that he is an atheist.
- The Professor sometimes pronounces 'w' as 'hw'; that is, he pronounces the 'h' in words like 'what'. The odd thing about this is that he also adds this 'h' sound in to words that don't have it (orthographically or historically in its pronunciation). For example, in Bender's Game, when he asks Fry to grab the waistband of his underwear, he adds the 'h' sound in with the 'w' in 'waist'. Stranger still, his use of the 'w' v. 'hw' sounds is in free variation, or he uses one sometimes, then the other, in the same words, with no pattern. This inconsistency appears to be an oversight on Billy West's part.
Originally, the professor's catchphrase was going to be "...though I am already in my pajamas." This was only used in the first and second episodes.
The professor's basic catchphrase is "Good news, everyone!" The phrase is used so frequently that it was already possible to joke about it in the seventh episode.
He also occasionally refers to "Zombie Jesus" either by saying "Sweet Zombie Jesus" or "Holy Zombie Jesus".
When he is spoken to or asked a question, he also commonly says "Eh-wha?" This is used often to emphasize his senility and hearing loss.
Occasionally, he will say something along the lines of "What in ________ happened?!" For instance, "What in Sega Genesis happened to you?!" or "What in Satan's glorious name is going on here?!"
Another "catchphrase" used by the Professor is "Oh My..."
Farnsworth also likes to use the phrase "Fuff" as a way of saying "Forget it" or "It was nothing" or "Baloney".
Furthermore, he likes to dismiss other people's opinions by saying "Quiet, you!", often to people who have just actually contributed something useful to a discussion.
The last catchphrase used by the Professor is "Wernstrom!"
Professor Farnsworth: Why bother remembering anything? You're just going to forget it five minutes later.
Professor Farnsworth: Wernstrom!
Professor Farnsworth: And so we say goodbye to our beloved pet, Nibbler, who's gone to a place where I, too, hope one day to go. The toilet.
Professor Farnsworth: Sweet zombie Jesus!
Professor Farnsworth: [screaming] Oh, Lordy Lou! Help! Buddha! Zeus! God! One of you guys, do something! Help! Satan, you owe me!
Professor Farnsworth: Yes, it's the Apocalypse, alright. I always knew I'd have a hand in it.
Professor Farnsworth: Dear God, they'll be killed on our doorstep! And there's no trash pickup until January 3rd.
Professor Farnsworth: Good news, everyone! I've taught the toaster to feel love!
Professor Farnsworth: Good news, everyone! There's a report on TV with some very bad news!
Professor Farnsworth: Goodbye, cruel world. Goodbye, cruel lamp. Goodbye, cruel velvet drapes, lined with what would appear to be some sort of cruel muslin and the cute little pom-pom curtain pull cords. Cruel though they may be...
Professor Farnsworth: Oh, dear! She's stuck in an infinite loop, and he's an idiot! Well, that's love for you.
Professor Farnsworth: Oh, how awful. Did he at least die painlessly? To shreds, you say. Well, how is his wife holding up? To shreds, you say.
Professor Farnsworth: [About altering the timeline.] And remember, don't do anything that affects anything, unless it turns out you were supposed to, in which case, for the love of God, don't not do it!
Professor Farnsworth: Oh, I don't have time for this. I have to go and buy a single piece of fruit with a coupon and then return it, making people wait behind me while I complain.
Professor Farnsworth: Who are those horrible orange creatures over there?
Glurmo: Why, those are the Grunka Lunkas. They work here in the Slurm factory.
Professor Farnsworth: Tell them I hate them.
Colleen: Have you seen how much cotton candy he can eat?
Professor Farnsworth: Oh, my, yes. 5.1 pounds. That's why his blood is so good on pancakes.
Richard Nixon's head: Good evening, ignorant pigs. Put down your crack pipes and your beer bongs and pay attention, as I sign a historic peace accord with ambassador Kong of planet Nintendu 64.
Fry: Wait a second, I know that monkey, his name is Donkey!
Professor Farnsworth: Monkeys aren't donkeys. Quit messing with my head!
Professor Farnsworth: Belay that Parcheesi tournament!
Professor Farnsworth: Oh, and if you kill anyone, make sure to eat their heart to gain their courage, their rich, tasty courage. [He smacks lips.]
Professor Farnsworth: Well, it doesn't look like I'll make it inside with the rest of you. But good luck. Just leave me where I drop.
Professor Farnsworth: Getting the brain out was the easy part. The hard part was getting the brain out. [Insane cackling.]
Leela: Remember, Professor, Bender is Santa. So we don't need to hurt him, right?
Professor Farnsworth: Yes, yes, yes. You sound like a broken MP3! [Bender lands in the fireplace...]
Bender: Ho, ho- [...and gets shot by the Professor.] Ow!
Leela: Professor! Don't you remember what I told you?!
Professor Farnsworth: No!!!
Professor Farnsworth: Damn it, Mom! No one kills my crew except for me! You're going down.
Mom: Oh, please! You wouldn't hit a lady!
Professor Farnsworth: I suppose you're right. Though I would do this! Hoyyaa! [He punches her.]
Mom: You broke my hip!
Professor Farnsworth-A: Astonishing! I must have created a parallel universe.
Professor Farnsworth-1: Baldercrap! I created your universe. All you created was my fist parallel to your face.
Professor Farnsworth: Now, I've often said "good news" when sending you on a mission of extreme danger. So when I say this anomaly is dangerous, you can imagine how dangerous I really think it is.
Hermes: Not dangerous at all?
Professor Farnsworth: Actually, quite dangerous indeed.
Hermes: That is quite dangerous!
Professor Farnsworth: Indeed. Now stop shilly-shallying! Prep the ship and line up for your pre-flight coffee enemas!
Enema Bot: Warning. The enema you are about to enjoy is extremely hot.
Professor Farnsworth: Do what you young people do to unwind. Take a joyride in your jalopy. Wear a T-shirt and eat a fish stick. Go!
Professor Farnsworth: [to Mom] But dust cakes?
Professor Farnsworth: Oh yes, madness runs in the family. Some even called me mad. And whyyy? Because I dared to dream of creating my own race of atomic monsters! Atomic Supermen, with octogonal shaped bodies that suck blood out of... [storms out of room while blabbering incomprehensibly]
Professor Farnsworth: This will not stand! I'll take you on, you air-balling bozos!
Bubblegum Tate: You, old man? Huh! Sweet Clide, laugh derisively at him.
Sweet Clide: Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha-ha-ha!
Professor Farnsworth: I may be an old man -- in fact I'm fairly sure I am -- but I'll put you Globe-Trotters in your place, with my team of Mutant Atomic Supermen!
Professor Farnsworth: In your face, decumbent urinators!
Mildred: What'll you folks have today?
Professor Farnsworth: I'll have the soylent green, with a slice of soylent orange, and some soylent coleslaw.
Mildred: Pardon?
Leela: [whispers] It's the 20th century, Professor.
Professor Farnsworth: Oh, right. I'll have a croque monsieur, the paella, two mutton pills and a stein of mead.
Leela: I'll just have a small injection of Fem-a-slim.
Mildred: Uh, two chili dogs comin' up.
Professor Farnsworth: Aaghh!! You wrecked my dear ship Bessy? I just finished naming her!
Professor Farnsworth: I just finished turbo-charging the ship's matter compressor.
Fry: What's the matter compressor?
Professor Farnsworth: Nothing's the matter, Fry! Now that I've turbo-charged the ship's matter compressor.
While Professor Farnsworth appears in most episodes, films and comics, with the exception of "The Why of Fry", "Where No Fan Has Gone Before", and "The Trouble With Trilogies", these categories may be of interest:

The single most important number in the U.S. economy comes out on the first Friday of each month at 8:30 a.m. That's when the government reports how many jobs were added or gained in the previous month.
The number moves markets, and economists and traders around the world wait anxiously to see what it will be. If you found out early what the number was going to be, you could make a fortune.
The government knows this, of course, and officials take extreme precautions to make sure that no one finds out early.
I visited the Bureau of Labor Statistics recently and talked to Megan Barker, an economist who works on the jobs report. But I couldn't visit her office: Unless you have business inside Barker's office, there is no getting in.
The maintenance crew doesn't collect trash in the days leading up to a release. The IT department is also kept away. Computer problems? Tough luck.
So what exactly is going on that's so top secret? Inside, economists are sifting through data from thousands of employers and people around the country. Each month, the BLS surveys about 140,000 businesses and government agencies.
Don't even think about asking these economists who's on the list. They won't say.
The end result are the numbers that tell us how many jobs the U.S. economy added or lost the previous month — the number Wall Street is watching so closely.
Barker and a handful of other people know it by Tuesday — but they are under strict rules not to tell anyone.
"We keep it very secret," Barker says. "I know my parents ask me every Tuesday, 'So what do you think?' And I'm like, 'Well, what do you think?' So I even have to be secretive with my parents."
Barker and her colleagues have to keep this secret until 8:30 a.m. on the day of the release.
Journalists standing by at the Labor Department get the numbers a half hour early, but they can't talk about them until precisely 8:30 a.m.
That can mean waiting through several long seconds of dead air, as CNBC's Hampton Pearson did during December's release.

In the past decade, reverse mortgages have gained a lot of traction as a retirement tool. And yet, many people still do not understand reverse mortgages or their purpose. If you are one of those people, here's what you need to know:
What Is It?
A reverse mortgage is a loan that allows borrowers to pull equity out of their home without having to make monthly repayments. While there are some risks and downsides, reverse mortgages can be a helpful financial strategy for some retirees.
How Does It Work?
After being approved, the borrower gets either a lump sum from the bank or monthly installments based on the equity in the house. That money can then be used for anything – health care costs, as supplemental income, debt consolidation, etc. The reverse mortgage loan does not come due until the borrower moves out, sells the home or dies.
Who Can Qualify?
Homeowners age 62 or older are eligible as long as they own their homes free and clear or owe just a small amount on their current mortgage. Borrowers must live in the home as their primary residence and must be current on all federal debts, property taxes and hazards insurance premiums. There are also certain financial criteria to be met, including sufficient income, credit histories and assets.
How Much Can Be Borrowed?
The amount of money that can be borrowed with a reverse mortgage will depend on your age, the value of your home, your ability to manage payments, the initial mortgage insurance premiums to be paid and the current interest rates. While you can never borrow 100% of your home value, in general the more valuable your home is and the more equity you have, the more you will be able to borrow.
What Happens to the Home?
The borrowers can continue to live in the home as long as they keep up with their property taxes, insurance and home maintenance. When one spouse dies, if the other spouse was not listed on the reverse mortgage, he or she may stay in the home. However, when that spouse moves or dies, the reverse mortgage comes due and the borrower's survivors must sell the home to repay the loan, come up with the money on their own or sign over the deed to the lender.
When Does a Reverse Mortgage Make Sense?
Reverse mortgages can be useful for seniors who can still afford to pay their property taxes and insurance and take care of their home, but may need more cash for monthly income or to pay off a debt. It only makes sense if the borrowers do not plan to move.
Reverse mortgage do not make sense for borrowers who will depend on the proceeds from their home to help them through retirement. It is also not a good idea for those who are already struggling to keep up with their current homeownership costs.
All reverse mortgage borrowers are required to undergo financial counseling sessions with an independent party approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. These sessions are designed to ensure borrowers fully understand the implications of a reverse mortgage.
If you are interested in a reverse mortgage loan from MAC Professional Services, LLC, give us a call at 703-850-1574 today.

Class 4 Spontaneously Combustible Blank Placard
Need some help brainstorming?
What is a decal?
Decals and stickers are commonly confused but they're quite different.
A sticker n. an adhesive label or notice, generally printed or illustrated.
A decal n. a design prepared on special paper for transfer onto another surface such as glass, porcelain, or metal.
How thick are your decals?
Our decals are 2.5 mil, this thin solution provides an aesthetically pleasing sign that is durable and semi-permanent.
What is the lifespan of your decals?
Depending on the amount of exposure to elements and other considerations the average lifespan is approximately 8 years.
Why should I get a decal instead of a magnet?
A decal gives your business a professional appearance, it shows that your committed to your trade. Also, removable magnets tend to get stolen or fall off in high speeds. The average lifetime of a removable magnet is approximately two years, constant exposure to the sun would shorten the lifetime even more.
How do I remove the decal?
Removing your decal is simple! Simply life the edge of the material and peel back!
My order says delivered but its not on my doorstep?
Please check your mailbox, some orders are delivered at your doorstep and some in your mailbox.
How do I track my order?
You will receive a confirmation email with your tracking number. If for any reason there's a problem with your order or shipping, please contact us immediately.
Will my decal leave any residue?
Nope! Your decal should come off clean, if a tiny bit of sticky residue is left behind, you can easily take care of it with warm soapy water and a microfiber cloth.
