On his 150th birthday, Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth became concerned about his own mortality, and decided it was time to name an heir to his legacy. Though many among the Planet Express crew thought it should be one of them, likely Philip J. Fry, Farnsworth took this opportunity to reveal that he had created a clone of himself 12 years prior, named Cubert J. Farnsworth.

Cubert turned out not to be as Farnsworth expected, however; he saw a future as an inventor as unappealing, and made several snide comments about the professor’s work. Farnsworth became depressed, and revealed to the crew that he had been lying about his age; it was actually his 160th birthday, and he had reached the age where robots from the Sunset Squad take people away, never to be seen again. Under the cover of an overly dramatic thunderstorm, a hooded robot arrived at Planet Express and collected Farnsworth as he wandered about, saying goodbye to every inanimate object in his path.
