In the Who Shot Mr. Burns episode, Principal Skinner says that Mr. Burns
is 104 yrs. old. Now in the fighting hellfish episode, Grampa Simpson
talks about Burns being the young guy of the hellfish or something like
that. If thats true then Grampa Simpson must be older than 104. Homer is
in his late 30's, so Grampa Simpson then would have to have been in his
late 70's when Homer was born. ????????????

Hey! That makes sense! IF NOT for the fact that the event of the Hellfish you
are referring too was history and not the current Simpsons era. World War 2?
Adolf Hitler? Ever hear of these things? I am assuming that Abe was in his 40's
to 50's during WW2, and Burns might have been in his 30's and 40's. And
besides, in the episode where Homer dances with Princess Kashmere, Burns admits
that he's only 84 or something.. How come no one has mentioned that? Principal
Skinner could have just chosen some abstract old number or something.

Burns is too much of a geezer to be only 84.

>>Doncha know, in some episodes Burns is 81 in some he's 104.<<

It was in the episode in which Homer grows hair- the line was cut in
syndication-

Smithers: Dead man comming through.
<0:02> % Burns: Well, well, well. Our dashing young junior executive.
You made a hollow mochary of our morning meeting Simpson. I should fire
you on the spot!- but, I’m not going to
Homer: Uh, why?
%Burns: Simpson, how old do you think I am?
<0:06> % Homer: I dunno. A hundred and two?
%Burns: [sadly] I'm only eighty-one...
