LOL!!!!!!!!!!!Alarm clock that looks like a bomb is sure to get you out of bed


In a race against time befitting of a James Bond sequence, this bomb is certain to have 007 leaping out from beneath the covers.
The Defusable Alarm Clock, is aptly designed that its victim has but a few seconds to pull the correct wire before an automatic trigger causes the alarm to 'explode'.
The functions of each wire changes randomly every morning so users must distinguish between the two redundant cables and the fourth which triggers a series of flashing LEDs.

The alarm looks similar to a real bomb and even 'detonates' if you don't cut the correct wire in time

Designer Michael Krumpus, 41, was inspired to make the clock after seeing bombs feature in Hollywood films.
He said: 'I thought it would be fun to build an alarm clock that looks just like the type of bomb that we always see in Hollywood movies.


 

'I certainly don't know anything about how a real bomb might look but in the movies they always have sticks of dynamite strapped together, a red digital readout and a bunch of curly wires.
'Instead of just building an ordinary clock, I thought it should have a detonation sequence with a scary countdown just like in the movies.
'And why not make it 'defusable' so I an try to stop the countdown by cutting the correct wire?'
A randomly chosen wire defuses the 'bomb' whilst another 'detonates' it immediately

The clock is so realistic that Michael had to put a message on his website telling security services that it is not a real bomb.
It says: 'Dear Federal Agents and other Law Enforcement, this is only a clock. It is no more dangerous than any other clock.
'I don't know anything about explosives beyond what I've seen in movies.
'So, if you are with the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, CIA, ATF, Department of Defense, National Counter-terrorism Center, Interpol, or SEAL Team Six, please know that I am on your side!
'So, we're cool, right?'

Potential customers are also advised not to take the device outside their home as it could spark a bomb alert
He also warns customers not to take their clocks outside their house because there is a risk they could spark a bomb alert.
Writing on his website, he says: 'Dear Pranksters, I know you are excited to scare your friends and co-workers with a phony bomb but use your head.
'This kind of device can make people freak out and call the authorities.
'So don't bring this to school or to work and certainly don't bring it anywhere near an airport! Seriously, don't get yourself into trouble.'
The clock, which costs 27 pounds, is available to buy on the internet.
Alternatively, people can buy the parts from the same site and make it themselves.
Michael, from Minnesota, United States, said: 'By using your imagination, you can build a clock that looks like a dangerous device.
'For example, phony dynamite can be made by wrapping brown paper around wood dowels.'
If the alarm isn't stopped in time a series of LEDs begin to flash that accompany the resounding noise
