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.'"

    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.

    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?
