There once was a brown boy in Irving
Of praise he was most deserving
The school was in shock
When he showed them his clock
The bigotry's pretty unnerving

When we let politics trump science, people are needlessly put in harm's way. http://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/self-censoring-fears...
If you send young Nicola Tesla to a school in Irving. He will be locked up in a week.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, Craig Froehle .
ReplyDeleteHe has on a NASA shirt- quick get him.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans are the stalwarts and progenitors of anti intellectualism, bigotry and hate.
So at the close of the drama,
ReplyDeleteHe went back home to his mama
Who exclaimed with glee
"you're going to MIT
and the White House to visit Obama!"
I just love limericks too, especially ones with happy endings, Craig Froehle . :)
best thing that could`ve happened to the kid. now he`ll get his education free.
ReplyDeleteGlen Warr that happens when you are a hard working intelligent caring person who understands time(: They call them scholarships- fyi both academia and athletics have opportunities for funding of higher Ed. The trick is to apply ones self.
ReplyDeleteMy point is a kid with that talent is going to get a free education likely anyways. He could have done without the handcuffing and bigotry- I bet if you ask him about that part it's not something he will likely feel "is the best thing" that could have happened. Yeah?(;
This is such utter BS
ReplyDeletei was trying to make a negative a positive Adamlee. no need to sharp shoot.
ReplyDeleteThat is the worst haiku I have ever read.
ReplyDelete;-)
Glen Warr No offense intended buddy. And actually good point- I was just trying to scratch te surfce to see if you were being sincere(;
ReplyDeleteThere can be no progress without head on confrontation.
we`re cool Adamlee. no offense taken.
ReplyDeleteCoincidentally, HR has ordered me never to show anyone my clock. No, wait, it wasn't "clock".
ReplyDelete:-|
ReplyDeleteAnd wasnt a dagger either.
ReplyDelete:-)
/drops pencil and walks out
ReplyDeleteSam Hetchler Yes, HR did use the phrase "pencil stub".
ReplyDeletewould it have made any difference if it had been a speaking clock :)
ReplyDeleteThat technically is the definition of a bomb, Peter Harris . It's just a clock that says "boom" really loudly.
ReplyDeletewhat does that say about analogue time piece dials William Wells
ReplyDeleteWell, if I were a really stupid Texas racist, I'd say they must be "secret Islamic stealth bombs", and arrest all the brown people who wore one of them on their wrist. I mean, after all, even if it doesn't go "boom", it could really be a "hoax bomb" designed to steal our freedums. Murica!
ReplyDeleteWilliam Wells' new definition of "hoax bomb" - any clock that doesn't explode - should be added to Urban Dictionary.
ReplyDeleteHey remember when Christians used to kill scientists for centuries- let's not get too comfortable
ReplyDeleteexcept he didn't; actually make a clock, he took apart an old clock

Sanford Arbogast Good point: he should have taken apart an old bomb.
