The What-If Machine

First Appearance: Anthology of Interest I

Last Appearance: It is implied at the end of Twice Told Tales Of Interest that the What-If machine (being used in a poker buddy Bender made) was destroyed at the end of the comic, because of a self-destruct chip Bender used for it thinking it was an epathy chip. But, however, Professor Farnsworth said (kind of) that the machine would be fixed in a year.

Description
