The "Genius" is like a see-and-say....
He's silent until you pull a string on the board. Then he keeps repeating the same stuff over and over again.
"The Genius says... *LOL*"
"The Genius's boss says... One more chance, Mr. Mays, pleeease?"
-> insert your own here <-
Too bad you can't make him go backwards like the toy - that might make him at least mildly entertaining....
