Richard Dawkins Brings His Considerable Genius ... and Does Nothing With It - Update

Ahmed Mohamed, the Texas Bomb Clock Kid, has his motives questioned by Richard Dawkins, once one of the great scientists in genetics and now, apparently, pandering for a job at Fox News beside Megyn Kelly.  (The Guardian:  Richard Dawkins questions Ahmed Mohamed's 'motives' and sparks backlash)

Obviously the kid is learning how to manage the components for a timer-initiated bomb and only someone of Richard Dawkins' prodigious intellect ... or a Texas cop or five ... would see that.

Dawkins raises his question because the kid is said to have taken apart a household clock and used the components for whatever he made.

Congratulations, Dawkins.  The kid plagiarizes something so that means he's a budding terrorist.

Dawkins doesn't even know if it's true as he covers his bony ass by saying 'if it is true' so that gives him the 'well, I did not know' excuse.

What a bleedin' skank.

Update:  Bill Maher also judged the device to be a potential bomb so, the next time a terrorist bomb needs to be disarmed, Maher and Dawkins will do it.  Call in the experts, right.


Like there's a kid on the planet who doesn't like taking things apart.  It's the unusual ones who can put them back together again and usually it plays out that ol' Dad does it.


Lotho was said to be able to break things simply by walking past them as a kid.  Can't say I have any solid validation of that but I do know he worked on jet aircraft in the military and he never told of any crashes so apparently he learned how to put them back together again.

He also spoke of a Max Performance Take-Off in which a fighter aircraft lifts a short distance off the runway.  Toward the end of the runway, the pilot hits whatever kind of gas pedal he's got and stands the aircraft on its tail to go straight up.  'Twas a thing of beauty to see, he said.


So, Dawkins, in the interest of (cough) good science, how about we investigate to discover whether this kid was making the clock to contact the Tralfamadorians for instructions on how to build a "Q" bomb.


There are multiple other bomb geniuses who have said the clock looked like a bomb and the FBI should be going out to round up these people to interrogate them for a couple of hours to discover just how the fuck they know what a bomb looks like.

We all know you disarm a bomb by cutting the red or the blue wire ... but we just can't remember which one until the last second before it blows.  Every bomb has to have LEDs in it to show a countdown timer even though no-one will ever see it if it's ever used.  We learned these things from the movies.  Also, if you mix the clear liquid with the other liquid then it explodes.  We saw that in "Die Hard" and all of these historical documentaries have a wealth of important bomb-making information.

Yah, I'm a bomb expert.  I've seen them in the movies.
