My theory is that it has one of those little deals where, when something bridges across two contacts on the chassy that can conduct electricity and thus close the circuit (a very easy thing to do, as well as confuse). Lots of those stupid laughing head type things from the early 90's had these, as well as countless other cheap, but nearly indestructible things. A more advanced, or rather more obvious version of this is what you'd commonly see with those audible liquid level indicators that you put over the rim of a glass, mug, etc.
So, you could probably just put two fingers, or even one, in the right place and break the count. Water, saliva, etc. will of course work just as well. Of course, with the pop in the way of the contacts, it would probably read from excess spittle rolloff. Welcome to a gimmick? But of course, you already knew that! Just some theory from a very sleepy and rather tired Borris. On 9/26/2007, 3:08:34 PM EDT, Mary Ann stood on a 36-foot poll and yelled: > Ya know what I was wondering about the thing, though?
