Weird Stuff – Clocky Alarm Clock – weird Clock

In the realm of weird stuff, Nanda Home makes a really bizarre, but kinda cool, alarm clock / sick toy.

Clocky, the robot Alarm Clock is the hi tech solution for people who have a really hard time waking up and getting out of bed. You know, the ones that tend to just shut off the alarm and go back to sleep.

Clocky is not an ordinary, stand there and beep type of clock. Clocky has wheels and the ability to jump off your night stand and roll around your room.

The manufacturer has this description of Clocky:

The patented alarm clock that runs away and hides to get you out of bed. Clocky gives you one chance to get up. But if you snooze, Clocky will jump off your nightstand and wheel around your room looking for a place to hide, beeping all the while. You’ll have to get out of bed to silence his alarm. Clocky is kind of like a misbehaving pet, only he will get up at the right time.

Definitely a cool idea, too bad I can’t see these lasting long since by the time you catch the thing, you may be inclined to throw it out a window and silence Clocky for good.

Clocky runs on 4 AAA batteries, comes in 2 different colors and retails for around 50 bucks. Lumens has one for 49.99

No, not a joke. The pros:

• No real smoke
• Tastes like the real thing, or so they claim
• Can get in cherry and fruit flavors
• Should not kill you over timeNever needs a light
• Cheaper over time than the real thing, one pack will last decades, in a landfill.
• Can be used on airplanes and even in the citys where smoking is banned.
• Easy to pretend to be a “real” smoker because the led light makes it look like its burning.
• Get high on nicotine 

The Cons.

• You may get caught faking
• Get high on nicotine
• Can’t use the “do you have a light” excuse to talk to someone at a bar
• No chain smoking, may have to wait for the e cigarette to re-charge. 
• Made in China, may need to invest in lead testing equipment.
• May get arrested for smoking on airplane by cops who think your full-o-shit.

Here is the description of the e smoke from wiki..

An electronic cigarette (or “e-cigarette”) is an alternative to smoked tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. It is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine by delivering a vaporized propylene glycol/nicotinesolution. In addition to nicotine delivery, this vapor also provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no tobacco, smoke, or combustion is actually involved in its operation.   

Being a new and maybe nutty idea, it is not yet readily available and actually banned in a few countries, however, I did manage to find it on made-in-china: here is the product desc.

We can provide many flavors of the cartridge: Tobacco, marlboro, 555, orange, strawberry, coffee, mint, lemon, melon, Pineapple, ginseng, rose, grap, Almond, banana, chocolate, Kiwi, peach, hiltoin, apple and so on.    

E smoke and the handy USB charger. 

WTF? come now, this is one of the more absurd gadgets I have seen, For Sure.I do admit, it is a very cool looking hi tech piece that some may even want to use as hi tech art.The company believes that this is an item that has been missing and is planning on getting the “boulder holder” dryer on the market by next year.The perks, so to speak of the bra dryer are that they keep the cups in perfect position as they dry unlike more standard methods such as tumble dryig or hanging on a line.  I gotta wonder whats next for these guys… the boxer / brief dryer comes to mind to make sure that men also get a cool looking gizmo for theit undies.
