What about that episode where Moleman is seen being X-rayed repeatedly in a hospital cause someone forgot him in the machine? Worth mentioning?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.161.96.88 (talk) 22:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Or he was just mistaken for being old so often that he decided to go along with it, because it was easier than constantly arguing about it (seems like something he'd do, just go with the flow because nobody listens when he says otherwise). Also, Homer lived in the senior citizen home for a while, doesn't mean he's lying about his age. I think we have to leave off the speculation that he may be lying and just stick with the facts. Facts are that he's claimed to be young, and that he often socializes with senior citizens. --Maelwys 02:40, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There should be a citation to prove that he said he was 31.  Perhaps to a Wikiquote page for him (there isn't one at the moment).  //George C 18:50, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, he's 31. Alcoholism can make you look very old, but he isn't a senior. Episodes don't lie unless they're out of continuity. - Super48 14:57, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: HIS AGE IS UNCERTAIN. He was one seen in Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy as one of the elderly people yet he mentions in another episode he's 31 years old. Aixduran 13:59, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Unless that gag about teaching an orange-eating class was recycled when homer was eating an orange in his successful marriage class, that information is wrong (in 2 places in the article), that was Homer.
:He was in fact teaching an orange-eating class, but this scene is often cut out. After Groundskeeper Willy comments to Homer that if he wanted to see a man eating an orange, he would have taken the orange-eating class, the scene cuts to Hans Moleman's orange-eating class, in which he remarks that the eating of an orange is a lot like a good marriage. Grampa (a student in the class) then impatiently tells him to eat the damn orange. Gorilla 322 00:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

message: In two different episodes - names of which I have ofcourse forgotten - it is claimed that Moleman comes from Estonia, that he is born in Estonia. Does someone know anything about it? 87.119.165.214 14:08, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You are probably thinking of the episode "Burns' heir", in which Mr. Burns has hired a midget from Estonia to play Lisa when Burns is trying to fool Bart into thinking his family doesn't miss him.  His nationality is indicated near the end of the episode when Lisa says, "That midget taught me a lot about his native Estonia."  Hans Moleman appeared in the same episode, so this is probably the reason for the confusion.  As far as I know, that was the only mention of Estonia in a Hans Moleman episode.

message: The Bio section says that Hans is 31 and looks old due to heavy drinking. That can't be correct because I've been at an AA meeting before and people don't use their real age there. The "age" that they use is actually the number of years since they've quit drinking. What I mean by that is, for example, if a person stopped drinking 2 years ago, they'd say that they're 2 years old. So when Hans said he was 31 years old, he was actually saying that he quit drinking 31 years ago. (Plus, in one episode he says that he used to sleep with Lars from Metallica's grandmother).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.59.112.181 (talk) 21:47, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I would say he's more like... the alcoholism and the whole "he tastes like a peanut" imply to me that he just has that leathery old-person skin that comes from not taking good care of yourself.. he's a bit darker than the standard yellow folk.
Okay, so, I severely doubt he works at the bird sanctuary. He was just the first one into the phone booth when the birds started attacking, and thought up a clever plan to keep them occupied.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 23:32, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
