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

After seeing this photo and reading the analysis in the article I'm convinced the kid didn't invent or build anything. He took an old Micronta digital clock apart and put it in a case to hide that fact....to make it look handmade. What it looks like to me is that he took the clock apart to make it look like he constructed something and then claimed to have made or invented a clock. From everything I've seen published on this my guess is that his reaction to being questioned was the product of embarrassment and guilty knowledge....he knew he hadn't actually made or invented what he was taking credit for.

I almost posted here about this yesterday, but the only source I had was several people on different forums say that they were engineers and it was nothing more than a regular clock taken apart. That's pretty hilarious to me considering the invite from Obama within hours.
