Tough Audience!

So, a teen rigged up his phone charger to a hamster wheel. Not terribly innovative, but impressive that it actually works (though I will bet his battery life is now compromized through shallow charging). Still, you'd think the teacher would mark him accordingly:

The teenage inventor was given a C for his project and has been awarded a D overall for the course.

Ouch.

Maybe the teacher has sympathies leaning towards PETA.

Ah, come on! It's not like he *chained* the critter to the wheel -- the hamster was free to come and go as it pleased!

Hahah, oh my, that is so funny. I can't believe he got a crap grade- perhaps he forgot to hand in some essay or something with the hamster-charger.

I should clarify: "sympathies towards PETA" is not a compliment in my vocabulary. :)
