Clocks are in the air.

The latest in the current wave of absurd alarm clocks - The Wake n' Bacon.

A frozen strip of bacon is placed in Wake n' Bacon the night before. Because there is a 10 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 10 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the alarm goes off, the clock it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked the clock so that the signal is re-routed by a microchip that in responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes.

So you will be awakened by a combination of the alarm sound and the smell of cooking bacon.

Or in my case, a combination of the alarm sound, the smell of cooking bacon and my dog going completely insane.
