Thanks for that, I'm still giggling even after reading all that followed.

Re: Nerdy 14 year old brings homemade clock to school and is arrested

I was a major nerd and built an Argon LASER for my 7th grade science fair. Lost to a mold experiment. In fifth grade I built a random logic circuit and lost to something equally lame. So I understand nerd, I am a card carrying nerd. But I also realize when someone does something for a reaction.

To me it's like the kid who put oregano in a baggie then got upset when he got in trouble for it. This little sociopath KNEW what his gadget looked like, he knew how they'd react. And now we have Twitter, MIT and the POTUS kissing his feet. I wonder if a Caucasian protestant kid did the same thing, whether he'd be White House bound? No? Thought not.

FWIW, I agree with Excalibur's scenario.
