Another Reason to HATE MIT!!!

Published on March 23, 2005 By Gideon MacLeish In Humor

This from Yahoo's "Oddly Enough" news:

Apparently, scientists at MIT have developed a new alarm clock, dubbed "clocky". This clock will sound its alarm, then,after the snooze button is pressed, will roll off the table and to another part of the room, forcing the sleepyhead to get out of bed just to FIND the durn thing!

My advice: better make clocky with a titanium shell or make it awfully cheap,because there are gonna be a lotta broken "clockies" within a few days of their commercial release.

You just don't mess with a person's sleep.

This strikes me as the PERFECT prank gift. Give the clock to someone, but neglect to explain the roll away feature. Imagine their confusion the first morning when they suddenly can't find the damn beeping clock

Extra points if the alarm is really loud and annoying.

I don't think even this could wake me up. And if it did, all the titanium in the world couldn't protect it.

Another annoying feature would be a snooze button that only works if you punch in a 5-digit code.

I swear enough at my alarm clock in the morning to make a sailor blush.

I HATE alarm clocks.
