MIT has made EEEVIL [lame and fun]

I solved the snooze problem years ago by putting my clock across the room, never on my nightstand/table. I can’t say I’d want something that’s also going to roll around my floor and all over the place.

What kind of wuss gives up on sleep just because they have to get up to turn their alarm clock off? Mine’s quite distant from the bed. Doesn’t stop me from hitting snooze. Or just setting the alarm to go off in half an hour.

I really fucking want Clocky. Sounds like the only way to ensure that I’d actually wake up enough to make a clear decision on whether I wanted more sleep.

Holy shit, I want that! That must be the most useful annoying invention ever.

Snooze ? Snooze ? what kind of wuss uses a snooze button ? A real sleep aficionado sleeps right through when the alarm clocks goes off.

I can neither confirm, nor deny, having slept through fire alarms, clock alarms, telephone calls, General Quarters alarms, or even six blasts of the ship’s whistle. (A steam whistle is a bit deeper and louder than most people would imagine when they hear the word ‘whistle’.)

Ooh I want (well, NEED) one of those.

Imagine.

Celocky makes noise
Celyns screams in alarm and fury
Cat now screams in alram and chases Clocky who is now running around trying to hide
Celyn is jumping around trying to shut up Clocky
Cleyn probably steps on cat insterad of Clocky

O the drama every morning. :eek:

Because it’s EEEVIL, I tell you! EEEVIL!

Really, it’s because I like a few semi-humorous Pit posts now and then. Besides, it really is EEEVIL.

Don’t put stuff in the Pit unless it belongs here. I’m moving this to MPSIMS.

The next generation of Clocky will be designed not to run away. Hit the snooze button once, and it will merely become louder. Hit it twice, and Clocky’s coming after your lazy carcass. Later, it will automatically call your boss to explain that you won’t be coming to work…anymore.

Another link, for those who want to see a picture of this monster…

Forget that…I need more pictures of Gauri Nanda.

Not just any grad school – MIT. Home to some of the most attractive women I’ve ever seen. I think most of them are built in a lab by some very lonely geeks.

Their girl robots…

Well, she does have her own web page. She is maddeningly camera shy, though.

Yet more fun from the MIT Media Lab (Sometimes I do wish my wife had been accepted to that program. Oh well.)

Blendie

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

The Blendie Quicktime is an absolute HOOT!

I’m just imagining the chaos if Jamba Juice (or your local smoothie shop) installed these things. Growl at one blender, and the whole place starts whirring.

Are you my long lost twin or something?

I have been known to turn off the alarm, walk across the room, turn off the other alarm, pull the cord out of my speakers, and crawl back into bed. This inevitably leads to:

Me: Bleah… wait… it’s 7 already? What happened? AHHH GONNA BE LATE TO SCHOOL
~Mooncat runs around frantically~

A walking alarm clock? Hm, maybe that would work…
