You may ask, why would anyone want a flying alarm clock? Well, “want” is such a strong word. This might fit better under the “need” category, or even in the “why the bleep did I get this” category.

If you’re anything like me, you set your cellphone alarm really early, over half an hour before any sane person would really get up, and it actually does wake you up. Then 5 “snooze” hits and almost an hour later, you are finally able to stand up because you figure if the blasted thing shrieks one more time, you’d throw it out the window — fully conscious. Or you’ve developed an unconscious reflex to slam your hand on the alarm clock the moment it starts beeping.

Either way you end up late for work. Wee.

What I’d suggest (to you) is an alarm clock that sends out a 220V charge when you hit it…buuuuut I guess this is a less painful alternative.

The alarm, to begin with, is annoying. Like 6-year-old-screaming-in-your-ear annoying. But what makes this a true winner is that the part that sends out the infernal shrill, actually flies off using the propeller thing. Amidst your panic and confusion from dreaming of a horde of hobbits, you have to find the module and put it back on the base for it to stop alarming.

The pros: Oh yeah this will definitely get you up.

The cons: It costs US$40, I’m guessing after actually getting it, you’d pay that much again just to see it burn. You lose really.
