Evil Incarnate
I've been having some trouble thinking of something amusing and/or possibly witty to post about. That will happen when you're sleeping only a few hours a night and aren't really eating that much. Oh yeah, and I drank about a bottle and a half of wine last night.
So anyway, I submit to you.....

Engadget.com says: Homegrown alarm clock tests your math to gauge alertness
We've seen some fairly sinister alarm clocks in our day -- ones that fly around, nearly make you go deaf and "explode" if you don't get up in time, for starters -- but this DIY creation is definitely lobbying for top honors. The Turing Alarm Clock, which has admittedly been making the rounds of late, starts making racket just as any other alarm clock when the time comes, but rather than letting you smash the snooze button, it forces you to answer math questions with varying levels of difficulty before quieting down. Evil? Sure. Effective? You betcha. Check the video after the jump.
Now is it just me, or does this seem like the cruelest invention to be created by man (possibly with satanic inspiration)? I won't be getting one any time soon, that's for sure.

Yeah. So I admire that someone had the wherwithal (sp?) to create this monstrosity. But who, I ask you, WHO in their right mind would BUY one of these things????? Okay, maybe an evil older brother would buy one for a sibling, or a bitter ex-wife for her former husband and his new trophy wife . . . but who would actually USE this agent of torture???????
