tugfoigel writes "Built by "Kevin" for a contest, this computer-controlled alarm clock is touted as the world's largest. To be more specific, he 'mounted a large air cylinder to the head of [his] bed and a valve, controlled by a computer, which [he programmed] to wake [him] up in the morning.'"

From the picture it looks like it is going to wake his head up into a dresser.
Upon watching the video I was half right.

I'd still roll over and fall back to sleep; and never remember the alarm going off. The only things that ever remotely worked were my sister growing up and Sepultura's Ratamahatta. Part of the latter was my kitten going nuts when it went off.

Leave it to a geek to invent the greatest sex bed the world has ever seen and then use it to jostle his brain into jelly in order to wake up in the morning.

There are two ways to wake up in the morning.

1. The sun gently rolling its warmth over the mountains, gently caressing your face and rousing your subtly to start your day.

2. A tiger jumping out of the bushes.

I wonder which one this is?

I seem to remember Wallace's bed not only (sort of) waking him but dressing him and plopping him down for breakfast (toast, jelly and CHEESE!). It worked most of the time. Of course they are just clay figurines so maybe this isn't a valid comparison.

Yes, that was invented by John Houghtaling [honoraryunsubscribe.com], who passed away last month at the age of 92.
The casue of death was a head injury after a fall.
