There is something very wrong with giving Zoidberg an int bonus...

Not really. He is shown several times to be a rather gifted surgeon who just happens to know worse than nothing about human anatomy.

Of course, given that Heal in D&D is based entirely around Wisdom, you can be a gifted surgeon with 6 Intelligence. The best fictional example of such a character I can think of would probably be The Todd from Scrubs.

Also, for a race of stereotypical "Space Jews", intelligence seemed like the appropriate mental ability score to which to give a bonus.
