The clock's alarm sounds like a wheel burnout

I've seen many weird alarm clocks, but this one is probably going to rule them all (not!). The Wheel Alarm Clock is scary. As you've probably guessed, the Car Wheel Alarm Clock is a desk clock shaped like a wheel.

The clock comes with "pimped" arm wheels, normal clock hands and numbers and all the mumbo jumbo "Swiss clock tech" (you wish). The Gear changer is probably meant to change alarm speeds. Or, isn't it? Ok, at least I tried.

The clock doesn't come with an alarm that sounds like braking wheels, although this little detail would have made it 4 times scarier. Oh no, I' m wrong, it really makes that awful sound! Not only does it use a buzzer that sounds like a wheel burnout, but it also has a female voice saying: "The exorcism wool [ning]!". What? Ning what? Who exercises with a tool? It's made in China, that probably explains the unusual incantation.

Anyway, it would've been more interesting if it came with a built-in motion-sensitive video camera. Just think about the following scenario: you're having a nightmare in which you're just about to be ran over by a mobster's car and then... the alarm starts. That's the Jackass "diem" you'd want to capture on a camera.

If you really want to make a 10-year old kid happy for a day (and almost a night), you should dig for more details about the clock online (good luck with the Google traslator). Come to think of it, some guy who works in a cubicle may install this on his desk in order to capture some "prairie dogging" action. Just wait to see his coleagues pop their heads up of their cubicles to check if there's actually a car crash in the office when the alarm starts.
