The fing-longer is a glove with an extended index finger. By the beginning of the 31st century, Professor Farnsworth had always dreamed of inventing this glove. In 3001, he used the What-If Machine to ponder what would happen if he, in fact, invented it. ^[2ACV16] The Professor did not actually invent the fing-longer until the following year, when he used it as a pointer on a hologram. ^[3ACV05] He reused it as a pointer in 3007, ^[BBS] and to uncover the secret behind Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper, ^[6ACV05] as well as to wake up Lrrr, ^[6ACV11] in 3010. He used it while telling the crew about the solar helium mine, in 3013. ^[7ACV18]
