As Laughing Squid reported , cartoonist Randall Munroe figured it out, and the results will probably make you take stock of your own mortality a bit.

In real life, if Homer and Marge aged at the same rate as the rest of us, they would be in their mids today, if we estimate that they are about 36 years old on the show. Bart and Lisa, on the other hand, would be 39 and 36, respectively.

Then a newspaper columnist named Marshall Goldman turned up, and was interested in his stories. Soon the whole of Springfield was reading them. Despite being offered a chance for Mitch Albom to write about him, Grampa sticks with Marshall, constantly with him writing what he says. Homer comes to visit his father, but Abe rejects him. While Homer is submitting a column to the shopper about Mr. Burns who Homer uses as an adoptive father to get back at Abe , he sneaks into Marshall's office, and finds out Marshall is planning to kill Abe at precisely 3pm on the Tinseltown Starliner, and even has the article and award application ready.

Meanwhile at Springfield Union Station, Abe is aboard the train with Marshall, and despite Homer's many attempts to warn him, Abe has no idea because of hearing problems. When he is sleeping, Marshall is just about to suffocate him when Homer jumps aboard and stops him, not expecting Marshall to pull out a knife, and retrieve a gun form the pillow.

They both wrestle for control of the gun when Abe gets up and hits Marshall on the head with a bottle, but this has no effect. When putting his hands up to surrender, he grabs the trains emergency brake lever, which sends Marshall flying back and causes him to be crushed by luggage.

Both Homer and Grampa embrace, and the family is back together. In the end Abe decides to let Homer tell the story of how he saved Homer's life his first ramble and Homer ends up talking about Godzilla and The Rolling Stones. Due to his apparent senility, Abe is often ignored by Homer and other family members, and is alternatively content with this, resentful of this, or completely unaware of his being ignored. Abe is very friendly with Jasper and the Jewish Old Man. Like Hans Moleman, Abe often appears in recurring gags.

He is also very unlucky and forgetful at times sometimes forgetting where he lives or where his son lives. He also had an affair with Jackie Bouvier [Marge's mother], who broke up with him after she was wooed by Mr.

However, he does not like cheekiness from Homer, Bart, or Lisa. He also demands to be treated right and he reckons he is just as important as the others. For forty years, Abe worked as a security guard at a cranberry silo. Abe was not a particularly caring father to Homer, as evidenced at one point when he tells his son, "Homer, you're dumb as a mule and twice as ugly.

If a strange man offers you a ride, I say take it! Homer also takes every opportunity to ignore or reject his father, whom he placed in a dilapidated retirement home.

Abe held a variety of postwar jobs, including a farmer in Homer's early childhood until the bank foreclosed. Abe was also a watchman at a cranberry silo for forty years. He spent most of this time living in a house he won on a crooked s game show until he sold it to help Homer buy a house for his family. Abe moved in with the family, but was sent to a retirement home some three weeks later.

Abe was also angered about Homer's role in ensuring the Trappuccino incident, yelling "I'm part of the mob! He was briefly married to Amber , the same woman Homer married on a Vegas binge. Abe's brother, Cyrus lives in Tahiti with multiple wives. He was married for several years to Mona, who became entranced with the hippie lifestyle after watching Joe Namath on TV. She became a fugitive from justice after she abetted in the sabotage of a biological weapons research lab owned by Montgomery Burns.

Abe had no interest in this, instead focusing on the TV. Abe tells a six-year-old Homer Mona died while Homer was at the movies. Abe would point out her supposed grave which actually belonged to Walt Whitman every time the family drove past it. However, after Homer went to the Springfield Hall of Records to prove he was still alive after faking his death in order to avoid having work on Saturday , he learnt from the record that his mother was still alive.

Grampa Simpson is an old, grizzled, periodically incontinent and quite senile man, who lives in the Springfield Retirement Castle ; a sad, lonely place filled with demented, crippled and depressed old people a sign near the entrance says "Thank you for not discussing the outside world". Abe also informs Lisa residents are not allowed to read newspapers because "they angry up the blood".

His closest friend appears to be Jasper , a fellow Retirement Castle resident. He spends a good deal of his time writing letters of complaint on his old-fashioned typewriter. He once wrote to the President, complaining there were too many states, and requesting they get rid of three of them simultaneously insisting he was "not a crackpot". He also wrote to "the sickos at Modern Bride Magazine " about his disgust at not seeing "one wrinkled face" or "a single toothless grin" in the publication.

He also owns a star American flag, because of his undefined hatred of the state of Missouri : "I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missoura. He also is soundly rooted in his antiquated ways: "The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.

He even supports tearing down the Simpsons' house in order to complete construction of the proposed "Matlock Expressway". He seems to believe Matlock is a real person, suggesting they call him in to solve real-life crimes: "I say we call Matlock. He'll find the culprit. Once, reflecting on his lifetime, he lamented it as terribly boring and full of unruly teenagers, but decided it was alright because "we did have two shows with Andy Griffith.

Grampa also had a habit of telling stories about his past though a lot of the time these stories didn't really happen. No recent wiki edits to this page. He is often ignored by his family, due to his age and apparent senility, and spends most of his time in the Springfield Retirement Castle.
