Disambiguous This article is about the year. For the song, see In The Year 2525.


In the year 252525,
the backwards time-machine still won't have arrived
In all the world there's only 1 technology,
a rusty sword for practicing proctology
- Time travel song

252525 is a year to which Professor Farnsworth, Bender, and Fry time travel in The Late Philip J. Fry.

Events[]

  • The 3rd medieval age in Earth history. The knights ride ostriches instead of horses.

Trivia[]

  • This is the third medieval period in history (assuming another one did not take place between since the 31st century).
  • Knights ride ostriches instead of horses, which is possibly a reference to the game Joust.
  • In this year, Man has lost all forms of technology, save for a rusty sword, which is used for proctology (Bender is stabbed with this sword when the crew travels to this year).
  • The stanza may be a reference to Cleopatra 2525, both representing a past era in the future.

Minor Speculation[]

During this year, it is an era where mankind has lost all forms of technology except for a rusty sword, used for proctology. With the previous era being an ice age, and the era before that with all civilization being lost, it is possible that humans had to start all over again ever since the advanced technology was lost.
