Achtung Sleep-lovers!

Some 25 year old nerd from Massachusetts Institute of Technology has invented a scary alarm clock which makes the luxury of the snooze option into some kind of curse. 'Clocky' is a hide-and-seek clock (oh dear Lord) that falls off and rolls away at the first push of the snooze button. Which means no more 'i'll surely wake up after 7 minutes' and 'ok definitely after 5 more' for the next 45 minutes. None of that, because when it rings for the second time, you bloody well have to pick yourself up from the heaven of your snuggly bed, search for the clock (yep, some weird computer chip decides randomly how far and in which direction 'Clocky' will roll) , find it and switch it off. Why on earth do these people devise things that make life miserable.

Oh and also, don't take solace in the fact that 'Clocky' will eventually break having fallen so many times, because the sadist has also packaged it wrapped in some soft carpet material that will protect it always. It also has two rubber wheels for obvious reasons.

And to think Bush had the nerve to attack Iraq on the (apparent) grounds of WMD's!
