No, this is not about Osama bin Laden and Achmed the Dead Terrorist. Yes, this is about travel alarm clocks disguised as time bombs and electric shocks. For those who have been trapped in a time warp, Osama bin Laden is the real-life terrorist leader of Al Qaeda thought to be responsible for killing many people.

Achmed the Dead Terrorist, on the other hand, is the skeletal terrorist-puppet of ventriloquist Jeff Dunham who is responsible for killing many people with his big-eyed, bony stare and patented “I kill you” sentence to go with the stare. The puppet, not Jeff Dunham, get that straight.

First off, there is the appropriately-named Bomb Alarm Clock available at DrinkStuff.com that makes you want to throw it at your snoring roommate when the shrieking starts. Snores and shrieks are too much to take when sleep is the greatest pleasure your tired body craves.

Of course, you can find travel alarm clocks that emit screeching and screaming noises to rival raging banshees but these come in plain and boring designs. In contrast, the Bomb Alarm Clock is a novel design that mimics the staple of terrorists of yore. However, be very careful about explaining travel alarm clocks such as these to airport security lest you find your luggage strewn all over the place.

Second, there is the Shocking Alarm Clock sold at X-tremeGeek.com that sends tiny (or humungous, depending on how you like to be electrocuted first thing in the morning) electrical shocks when you touch the exterior cover and not the appropriate “off” button. If the electrical shock will not induce you to full consciousness, then the noise alarm should do the trick.

However, you have to keep your young children and elderly relatives away from this alarm clock/mini electric chair lest you find yourself in hot trouble. Or better yet, seek medical advice if you can take being (slightly?) electrocuted for days on end. Maybe by the time you will need a defibrillator, doctors would not have to deliver so much electricity into your heart.

So, if you are looking for uniquely-designed and effective travel alarm clocks, then perhaps these clocks are for you.
