    Cool! I'd love to get Sandy one but, as many of you know who have a significant other who won't wake up, these folks are in denial and overly sensitive regarding the subject. :p

    Be my luck it would leave the room, never hear it. Real men use a Big Ben windup.

    Hahaha, that's pretty awesome.

    Reminds me of a friend in college. For his alarm clock (especially when he has a test in the morning) he turns on his tv's timer and hooks it up to his receiver. He's using some big ol' DCM speakers with it, and he turns the the volume up to about 7/8. And one speaker is about a foot away from his head! :eek:

    Yeah, he's a deep sleeper.

    I did the same thing in college except i used time from dark side of the moon.
    I turned up my receiver to 1 o clock.
    It woke me up alright..

    "Real men use a Big Ben wind-up."

    My manhood is questionable because I have a Magilla Gorilla Playing a Set of Drums alarm clock?

    I love the links for the other clocks at the bottom of the page.

    An alarm clock that to be turned off you have to put together a jigsaw puzzle?

    A clock attached to the ceiling that pulls itself higher each time you hit snooze?

    Pretty wild stuff. I have a hard time waking up and can see myself either getting clocky or the puzzle one. With the puzzle you could hide the four pieces in different spots, so you would have to move around a lot to turn it off. Hell you could attach the four pieces to four clockys for a fun hide and go seek every morning. Youd get your morning exercise to.
