They've recently had him talking again, from what I've heard. DlandDug can do an impression of the good Professor, word for word, which is scary and amus... no it's just scary.

I can't figure out for the life of me WHY they would have listed it on the refurb list (other then the fact that splash mountain is scheduled to be down as well). anyone know why?
