High school student charged with 69 felonies
It's sad that high school student Omar Khan didn't use his skills for good things, instead of the string of felonies he's accused of racking up at his school. All those average-to-failing grades don't reflect his true intellgence, since he was apparently smart enough to make computers give him (and others) the grades he really wanted. But this sort of behavior does point out the often subtle difference between intelligence and wisdom. To know is not always to understand.
