Professor Farnsworth

Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth, or simply Professor, is one of the two tritagonists (alongside Bender Bending Rodríguez) of the American animated television series Futurama. 
Farnsworth is the proprietor of the Planet Express delivery service, for whom the main characters work. He is the great (×30) nephew of Phillip J. Fry, the series' protagonist. His catchphrase and favorite form of greeting his friends is entering a room and excitedly proclaiming "Good news, everyone!" Though the information he shares is rarely good news.
He is voiced by Billy West (who also voiced Fry and Dr. Zoidberg) using a combination of impressions of Burgess Meredith and Frank Morgan. 
== Description ==
Hubert J. Farnsworth was born April 9th, 2841, (age 160 in the year 3001) and grew up in New New York's nerdiest slum, Hell's Laboratory. He learned to read while he was still in diapers, at age 8.
Farnsworth is extremely intelligent, but also insane. He often wishes to build doomsday devices, nuclear powered supermen, or seemingly useless devices. He is the great great great, etc, nephew of Phillip Jay Fry. He once worked for Mom's Friendly Robot Company, but quit after Mom wanted to turn a friendly toy robot into a killing machine. He teaches at Mars U, and now owns Planet Express.
Farnsworth usually sends his crew on dangerous, suicidal missions, and appears to be very senile, as he often asks what's going on, or falls asleep easily. He also contradicts himself on a normal basis. He does not appear to be concerned with the safety of his crew, as he once sent them on a mission, and hired a new crew before they even returned, surprised at their return.
At Farnsworth's 150th birthday, it was revealed that he was really 160. At the age of 160, people are taken to the Near Death Star by the Sunset Squad robots. They travel in a hover hurse, and the messenger appears to be the Grim Reaper. At the gates, there are two robots that guard entrance. After passing that, people are then declothed, washed, put in robes, placed in a rocking chair, and taken into a huge room. The buildings in the room appear to be giant headstones, separated by streets. Farnsworth was placed in a drawer, much like in a mausoleum. He was hooked up to a life support system, where he was in a virtual world, much like southern Florida. All the old people live in a nursing home style building where the play bingo, eat oatmeal, and wait for their children to call.
