I don't see how you could do anything with a clock and not make it look like a bomb, if you're a Muslim

A local Dallas paper investigated this and didn't find any evidence it was a hoax, people just want to assume...

The point about engineering is that all this kid did was take apart a clock and put it in a box, as Bill Maher said: "that's like pouring cheerios into a bowl and saying you invented cereal"
At that age I was doing the exact same thing. Rip stuff apart, put it back together. Hell, if you could make anything work you thought you were a genius.

OH and why does this kid need $15M, didn't facebook offer him a job for that kind of salary already???
I'd wager that 1) they're still pissed at how bad the kid was treated by the school and police and 2) external pressure is coaching the family to keep the story in the news.

Again, at best he pulled an old clock apart and threw away the box, Hardly engineering. And not even worth a trophy in a day when anyone can win a tropgy

Spence - You are doing it again, narrating instead of thinking.

If the kid was of mixed religion Amish and Jewish parents with a gay sperm donor, if he took parts from an old radio shack clock, remove the case they came in, and placed them in a pencil box: AT BEST, still hardly engineering.

Strip away ALL of the Social Justice Warrior Muslim Progressive Liberal Conservative RINO Facist GOP GOPe RushMotherFrieckinJoneLimbaugh and any other "label" and look at the facts of a kid that took something out of its original container and put it in a crude box and called it homemmade: you still have hardly engineering at best. Realistically - you have minor fraud/cheating/lying.

At worst, you have a whole slew of possibilities

Now that I think of it - he does not have the makings of an engineer, but instead the makings of a Politician
