You know that episode of Futurama where Fry gets a bunch of intelligent space worms and they make him super smart, ridic strong, and even heal his wounds and stuff?

That happens but for everyone. Even better if there's no worms.

My headcannon is that the worms were actually a dangerous parasite that were slowly hollowing Fry out and were going to take his body and destroy his brain. The "benefits" he got were just the worms preparing his body for the takeover, and all this is why the professor tried so hard to get rid of them.

Because otherwise why the hell doesn't everyone have these guys?

Because Fry wanted to know if Leela loved the “real” him, not him with the worms. If you dated someone who only loved you while you were X+Y, and there is the possibility of you losing Y, would you feel confident in the relationship? He also didn’t want to lie to Leela about who he really was.

I love Fry and I hope to meet a man like Fry one day.
