Genius Fucked Out of an 'A'
We've recently changed our supply of news (look to the right) from EFF to The Register. The Register is a hilarious online magazine based in the UK. I was reading through there when I crossed an article about a 16-year-old boy who made a hamster powered mobile phone charger. I mean, holy fuck, he's 16 and he's created a god damn mobile phone charger.
All was well until I read the part that told how his teacher only gave him a 'C'. Now hold on a second, I need to take a deep breath before I let this one out. WHAT THE FUCK? A 'C'? 'C' is for average students. Well, I'd have to fucking say this kid is way above average. The hamster can charge 30 minutes of talk time for every 2 minutes of running on the wheel. That's better than my phone charger and it's cheaper too. Jesus christ, first thing I'm going to do when I get off work is buy a hamster, a cage (with wheel), some gears and a small turbine.
This guys teacher should be punished. But Kefka, what type of punishment would be fit for such a dubious task? Death. If not death, then certainly the teacher's reproductive organs should be removed. All I can say to the teacher is, Way to spit on your student and the entire education system.
