Or so one Farnsworth descendent would like to think:
Philo is my great grandfather’s brother. Yeah! This is the statue of Philo T. Farnsworth at the Capital Building.
Perhaps
it’s possible that this claim to fame will have some effect on my
children. For one, Philo was a very tall man (as you can see from the
statue). Perhaps I’ve got some tiny bit of his genes, hidden somewhere
in my body, that may be passed on to my son in hopes that he will gain
some height genes from me (and not the genes that have kept me at
5’2").
