http://www.smh.com.au/news/Next/When...676683393.html

Ms Nanda came up with "Clocky" - a runaway alarm clock that goads its bleary-eyed owners into leaving their beds. To turn Clocky off, you have to find it.
Quote:
When the snooze alarm is pushed, Clocky rolls off the bedside table, tumbles to the floor and, thanks to shock-absorbing materials and rubber wheels, races away from the bed. It bumps into objects, repositions itself and eventually comes to rest in a place far enough away from the bed that its owner will be forced to get up to find it when the alarm sounds a second time. A built-in microprocessor randomly programs the clock's speed, distance and routes, so that it won't land in the same place twice.

I don't believe in alarm clocks. People should only awaken naturally, when their internal biological clocks tell them it's time to begin living the day. If that means missing half a day or a whole day of work, so be it. Sleep and rest should not be sacrifised for chores.

I would still like to buy one of these clocks simply for the opportunity to storm out of bed and beat the **** out of it in a sleepy rage. Yeah, you best be running you stupid clock.

I think these would sell like hotcakes because people like me would always be breaking them out of fury.
