Caspian James Chrichton Stuart IV, fifth Duke of Cleveland, a 17-year-old transfer student to the Stillwater Area High School was exposed by student reporters. As it turns out, he was not 17, not a transfer student, and not royalty, but he was a registered sex offender.

My favorite quote from the story: “I was convinced at first but something did not add up,” said Matt Murphy, 17, co-editor in chief of The Pony Express. “I did some research, and there is no Duke of Cleveland. He said he lived in the castle Falkland, which does not exist and which he spelled wrong.”

hip: I laughed out loud when I read that sentence in the article.

I think if a castle does not exist, you should be allowed to spell it any way you want.

I think we can all agree that that quote is hilarious. ha ha ha.

Well, there is a town in England called Faulkland and I think that must be what the kid meant when he said “Caspian” spelled it wrong.

His myspace page is mildly amusing.

Hey Stillwater kids, I have a bridge to sell ya, too. Interested? Imagine if he stayed at their school, got a yearbook entry…maybe a fellow student would write: “Stay cool and royalty-like and let’s party in your castle sometime. BBF.”?

Hey , don’t blame the kids – they’re the ones who figured it out. The Stillwater Area High School administration, on the other hand, has a history of being gullible idiots; they fell for the quadro magical drug detector scam. I recall some students in the science club tried to point out how ridiculous it all was, and were ignored.

Haunt – I remember sitting in on that Quadro presentation given to the student body in 1995 when I was a student there. My memory might be blurred as it was a long time ago, but the funniest part of the presentation as I remember it was how they said they used the device to find a missing girl simply by using a sample of the girl’s hair.

Science club? I’m sure that you mean the physics club, unless things changed when they moved to the new school building.

This is certainly not the first time the pony express has been ahead of the administration – the “Quadro” was debunked by the pony express staff as well. I wish I still had a copy of the article. I remember there was a quote from a popular science teacher about the device, which consisted of “No comment.”
