Mensa International
Mensa is the organization joined by Lisa in the episode, They Saved Lisa's Brain. The other members of the Springfield group include Dr. Hibbert, Professor Frink, Comic Book Guy, Principal Skinner, and Lindsey Naegle. They gain control of Springfield, but after their experiment fails, they are shown up by Stephen Hawking, whom Homer refers to as Lisa's "robot buddy." Members must score at the 98th percentile or higher of a standardized, supervised intelligence test. Mensa is formally composed of national groups and the umbrella organization Mensa International.
The Idiots Revolution
When Mensa International disscussed the problems about the lesser intelligent (seemingly "stupid") Springfiedians, they rampaged The Mayors Office with evidence to prove their case. Mayor Quimby, however, believed they had uncovered his corrupt activities thus had all compromising evidence destroyed, and fled town via air and robbing Chief Wiggum of the chance to arrest him. By law, Mensa Springfield were now in charge of Springfield, - intending to make it perfect for Springfiedians with extremely high IQ's. Their reforms threatened to cause a riot, until Stephen Hawking showed up. Professor Hawking then used his built-in boxing glove to take on Seymour Skinner. As the Springfield idiots attacked Gazeebo 7 and the professor flew out just in time using his built-in hover-device. Mayor Quimby then returned to Springfield to retake full power.
