The clock has 3 nunchuck hands that count down to an inevitable job dismissal

If you're looking for an awkward wall clock for your home or office, this Ninja Shuriken Clock isn't probably a bad choice. I must warn you though that this is not a usual wall clock. This is probably the clock that Chuck Norris would've bought at his 14th anniversary.

Ninjas, the Japanese assassins or spies, were often associated with stealth and invisibility. The clock's maker said that they were also known as beings that could control time. Right! Well, the thing will not freeze time, but it can become invisible. Ninja believers will have to turn off the lights at night and the clock will disappear "comme par miracle".

Its frame has the shape of an eight-pointed Hira Shuriken. To put in other words, it looks like a ninja star. This 13" plastic clock has, well, 3 nunchuck hands counting down the seconds to an inevitable job dismissal. It does not have a hole in the center like a normal ninja start, but a bad-taste Ying-Yang face that proves me that the people who build it have no respect for the Ninja philosophy of life (and they'll pay for this mistake).

Come to think of it, this clock is definitely a must-have item if you're the owner of a business where the employees seem to develop the clockroach syndrome. Just show them the clock at the beginning of the day and turn it to the invisible mode until the working day is over. The only thing they need to see is the black ninja figure hanging from the clock which will induce them this message: "Keep your eyes on the PC screen or else I'll kick your behind!".
