*erhem* Allow me to correct my friend up there. Or down there. Major spoilers for Perfect Kirby 3 ahead.
The hippin jippin gene is a funky (highly changeable?) gene found in only three
people: Neil of the institute, Phill of the institute, and George W. Bush.
The crazy story about thinking Professor Oblivion created the hippin jippin gene to destroy the president stemmed from Roy's destruction of Professor 1.99's
lab. According to Prof. 1.99's
computer, when the hippin jippin gene is mixed with double-cherry Kool-Aid (which lo and behold, Professor 1.99 was experimenting with) creates strange results. It would have to be tested. So when the gene was successfully extracted from Neil, it was mixed with Double-Cherry Kool-Aid and tested on
John Zerbes...it melted his
skin and apparently the rest of his body down to the
bone. Immediately they assumed that Professor Oblivion was out to find Bush and kill him.
But that was not the
case. Roy was the culprit -- but he had no idea about the gene's killing powers. See, because the gene is funky, it means that Bush would be easy to control and clone. Roy was planning to make Bush declare him ruler of the
world -- "..to rid the
world of Professor Oblivion and his horrible coffee-making skills!"
Of course, you
don't have to worry, because the story turns out good.
