After putting up with endless jokes about the boys having different fathers, 17-year-old Fred settled the matter once and for all – by designing his very own DNA testing machine.
Not the greatest timing for this post "if the criminal accusations are true" (in the other story) but I dont care, Im posting this anyway because the whole bullying crap we are being forcefed these days really pi$$es me off.

In our country where "bullying" seems like its a national crisis (according to CBC, CTV, Global etc), is a kid who went above and beyond and actually did something. If this happened in Canada I doubt it would get much press as an overcoming obstacles story isnt as juicy as a cry me a river feel sorry for me story.





ps - real scientists is Windows, not Mac
