Man Builds 'World's Biggest Alarm Clock'

by Terrence O'Brien on June 28, 2009 at 12:30 PM


One thing is clear from watching the above video: The inventor of the world's biggest alarm clock (or so he claims) might not be the best bed buddy.

Our man in question, YouTube user stampmaille, claims to have used this computer-controlled, air compressor-powered "alarm" to wake himself up every morning for the past four years. As the video above shows, the entire bed is lifted in the air and slammed back down when it's time to rise and shine. Repeatedly. The machine literally throws this self-professed "really heavy sleeper" around, banging his head against the mattress and headboard to get him out of bed.

We do have to give the unnamed guy some extra geek points for the clicky, Model-M keyboard sitting on his bed. We're just wondering where he was hiding the life-sized Boba Fett statue. [From: BuzzFeed]
