Texas high school student Ahmed Mohamed got a ticking off when he showed off his latest creation - a digital clock. Seeing the box of wires and circuitry, an alarmed teacher did what any pedagogue would: assume it was a hoax bomb, call the police and have Ahmed arrested. The action provoked a media storm with the local authorities facing accusations of Islamophobia, and support for Ahmed and his fledgling love of engineering rolled in, including an invitation from President Barack Obama to visit the White House. The last word on the matter, though, must go to Flavor Flav, erstwhile member of Public Enemy and long-time fan of wearing wall clocks as jewellery. "#IStandWithAhmed", the rapper tweeted, wearing his signature accessory. "Stop clock blocking!".
