Are you the type of guy that sleeps lightly and wakes up at the sound of a pin drop? In college, we loved being the guy that could sleep through anything, but now that we have responsibilities and a job to get to it kind of sucks. We need an alarm clock that makes absolutely sure we get our asses out of bed and nothing says get your ass out of bed like a bomb that needs defusing. Once you get the electronics components for the bomb you attach phony explosive parts (paper towel rolls seem like the ideal candidate at first glance). When the timer goes off (push the red button) you cut the wires or pull them out of the screw terminals. Alternatively, you can use the actual alarm function, with sleep option, but then you don’t get to actually defuse it. Is it a novelty? Sure. Is it still the coolest way to wake up? We think so.
