World's Biggest Alarm Clock Shakes You Out of Bed

Posted by samzenpus on from the up-and-at-them dept.

tugfoigel writes "Built by "Kevin" for a contest, this computer-controlled alarm clock is touted as the world's largest. To be more specific, he 'mounted a large air cylinder to the head of [his] bed and a valve, controlled by a computer, which [he programmed] to wake [him] up in the morning.'"

    I'd still roll over and fall back to sleep; and never remember the alarm going off. The only things that ever remotely worked were my sister growing up and Sepultura's Ratamahatta. Part of the latter was my kitten going nuts when it went off.

    Leave it to a geek to invent the greatest sex bed the world has ever seen and then use it to jostle his brain into jelly in order to wake up in the morning.

  6. A thought on waking up... by Cryacin · · Score: 5, Funny

    There are two ways to wake up in the morning.

    1. The sun gently rolling its warmth over the mountains, gently caressing your face and rousing your subtly to start your day.

    2. A tiger jumping out of the bushes.


    I wonder which one this is?

      What does waking up have to do with that?
