Beats the wind up alarm clock I used to have. I replaced the bells on top with ones from a phone. Quite often I dragged my self out of be to answer the phone, only to realize it was the alarm.
what idiot thought that we ought to be alarmed awake anyhow? how about rising light and celestial music. might make us all a little more cheerful in the morning ;)
My own favorite was a CD player that I would put a series of noises on with separations of ten minutes in between. The first, a trumpet paling the rise and shine song from the army. And, midway through it, a gunshot and silence.
