wouldn't the easiest way to do that just to be to pull out all the clock parts, disable the parts of the display that are used for all numbers except 4:20, and then just hook the display up directly to the power source

Easiest thing still would just be to find an analog clock and remove the battery and just leave it at 4:20, too.

"It's a global 4:20 alarm clock! If you think about it, it's 4:20 at like 24 times a day somewhere on Earth! So, every 20 minutes after an hour, alarm goes off. It's been going off all day since I got to school."

Fresh off his world tour, where he has charmed the likes of Omar al-Bashir, Clock Boy will finally meet his biggest fan, Barack Hussein Obama.

Here is Clock Boy with his new friend, The Butcher of Darfur:



The good Butcher is notable for having led a genocide of 400,000 people and embezzling 9 billion dollars from his impoverished country.

Clock boy is truly a shining example of modern American youth. As-salāmu ʿalayka, you inspirational little clock maker!

Lol @ free elections in Sudan. al-Bashir is president in the same way that Museveni is also not a dictator for life.

This could've been the story that might have gotten legs months ago if pathologically racist conservative bloggers weren't so bigoted. Clock Dad keeps running for president of Sudan: Does al-Bashir like that that gives his overwhelming re-elections a semblance of legitimacy? Are they buddies? Should the US government cease swapping intelligence with Sudan to help them fight the ultra-ultra-muslim South Sudan?

But nope, we got that JPG with "3 of these are bombs, one is not - Can you spot which is which before you are terrorism'd in 5 seconds?"

quote:

DALLAS (AP) — The family of a 14-year-old Muslim boy from Texas who was arrested after a homemade clock he brought to school was mistaken for a possible bomb has announced he'll be attending school in the Middle East.

Ahmed Mohamed's family said in a statement Tuesday they've accepted a foundation's offer to pay for his high school and college in Doha, Qatar. He recently visited the country as part of a whirlwind month that included a visit Monday to the White House.

Ahmed's father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, told The Dallas Morning News that "we are going to move to a place where my kids can study and learn and all of them being accepted by that country."

Ahmed was arrested last month after bringing the clock to his high school in Irving, a Dallas suburb.


e: Qatar - more humane than Texas, USA.

I don't think that his family had a problem with the rigor of America's curriculum but if they did, Qatar isn't the place to move to. I know nothing about that particular school but uh

quote:

An assessment test published in 2008 revealed that only a small portion of students were able to meet the new curriculum standards. Approximately 10% met the standards in English, 5% in Arabic and less than 1% met the standards in mathematics and sciences.[10] A 2015 study conducted by the OECD ranked Qatar in the bottom 10 of its educational index.

Except the man who is accredited with coming up with algebra was Persian, while the first use of zero was in modern day India. Qatar is farther south and is known for slave labor and the country has among the highest rates of obesity, diabetes and genetic disorders in the world.

It officially supports the Arab Spring so maybe Ahmed Mohamed will see how to make a REAL clock.

Qatar also fully funds Al Jazeera news* network, which is arguably on par with the BBC.

Ahmed is going to start tweeting in arabic, and after that every single nasty, sniping right-wing american media whore is going to lose track of him simply for their plain ignorance.

The only crime greater than being a brown-skinned muslim is flipping the bird and saying "see you later, shitlords" to a petulant group of people that want to brutalize you (and expect to have this privilege unchallenged), but didn't and can't.

Sorry, Obama - I'm looking for brighter pastures in Qatar. Texas is just too barbaric for my family.
