One of Fusor variants was invented by Philo Farnsworth, an ancestor to Professor Farnsworth of Futurama!

Futurama - all's well that roswell. Prof farnsworth : "a lesson in not changing history from Mr. I'm-my-own-grandpa"

Not exactly 'television', but I get your point.
I was most surprised to think he's likely the model for Professor Hubert Farnsworth.

To "get" this reference, you will need:
1. to be old, like me (beer, circa 1981),
2. to be from the Pacific Northwest,
3. to know who Richard Farnsworth is,
4. to know what an Artesian is,
5. this link: http://videosift.com/video/Artesian-Gardener

Perhaps it's the emotionally-charged irrationality of your reaction to anything "gun?" Or maybe it's when "relevant" statistics are presented (after yet another snide, smug, ill-informed statement) which do not support your tainted world view, you resort to name-calling and stereotype?

If you noticed, there are a small minority of peeps here on the Videosift who regard firearms without fear or disdain, who regard their possession fundamental to authentic, human rights while the vast majority or either neutral on the events happening in the U.S. or support further bans, limitations, checks, etc.

Please, join Professor Farnsworth on the domestic surveillance, warrant-less wiretap, citizen redefined as domestic terrorist planet?!

Delusion is what you may experiencing, I suggest turning off the television, mein freund.

Zoidberg: "Or, maybe Leela can get an ink pouch so that she could escape from her enemies."

Farnsworth: "That is the most stupid idea I have ever heard!"

*squirt*

Zoidberg: Woop woop woop!

Was it just me or did Professor Farnsworth sound different?

Holy crap! Farnsworth has a Finglonger!


It's a very effective tools. Works better than a remote control!

Holy crap! Farnsworth has a Finglonger!

Perhaps the most interesting thing about this clip is the revelation that the inventor had not watched a television until high school. And now he's designing sound based weapons. Couple that with Philo Farnsworth growing up on a farm without electricity until age 12, and conceiving the fundamental basics of the cathode ray tube at age 14. So what does it say about our desire to put the latest tech in the hands of children as soon as possible. Does it somehow numb them to the possibilities?
