Christina Lee · 09/23/15 08:00PMRichard Dawkins Absolutely Eviscerates the Texas Clock Kid on Twitter
Brendan O'Connor · 09/20/15 07:25AMInfluential tweeter Richard Dawkins, whose intellectual rigor never ceases to amaze, makes the very good, necessary, and important point that, in claiming his reassembled clock as an “invention,” Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old Texas teenager arrested last week on suspicion of building a bomb, committed fraud.

Andy Cush · 09/16/15 11:10AMHoping to impress the teachers at his new school, an Irving, Texas, high school freshman named Ahmed Mohamed brought a homemade clock with him to MacArthur High Monday morning, which he’d assembled before bed the night before.
