Professor John Nerdelbaum Frink is the master of bizarre inventions. This secondary character on The Simpsons is Springfield's stereotypical nerdy, mad, and socially inept scientist, inventor, and mathematician.
With an IQ of 199, Frink is a member of the Springfield chapter of Mensa. Although Frink is a college professor at Springfield Heights Institute of Technology, he once served as a kindergarten substitute teacher... he couldn't help but keep one of the children's toys to himself because the children "wouldn't enjoy it on as many levels" as he did.
Frink often tries to use his mad and bizarre inventions to aid the town in its crises, but they usually do not work or only make things worse. Most of his inventions never function properly or are of no real use. He is the inventor of, among other things, a frog exaggerator (which grossly misrepresents the size of amphibians), automatic tapping shoes for tap dancing, the sarcasm detector, hamburger earmuffs, the 8-month-after pill, and a drilling machine that can cut through anything. As a scientist, Frink has discovered and cured "Frink's Disease" and discovered the element "Frinkonium".
Frink believes that the word "Nerd" stands for "Not Even Remotely Dorky" - possibly because he doesn't want to be belittled.
