When I was a kid (70's, 80's) there were two books about spaceships. Essentially, each entry was a sci-fi painting of a spaceship and a short two to three page story about the spaceship. It described whether it was a fighting, exploration, or commerce ship. These were large hard cover books. The painting that sticks in my mind was of a crashed space ship in a desert half buried in the sand along with an alien skull resting on the sand. Sorry, its been thirty years since I've seen these books.
In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.
