I was a bit slow on the uptake reporting on this, however better late than never. Maybe just as annoying as the grenade alarm but hows this for a self inflicted annoying alarm clock, the Blowfly flying alarm clock.

The Blowfly works by waking you up with an annoying mosquitoish sound as it flies around the room and the only way to stop it is to get up and catch it. It sort of reminds me of Harry Potter and the golden snitch, though somehow I don’t think many people are going to be that dexterous after just being woken up.

From a practicality view point this may not be the best of ideas as there will be plenty of thinks for the Blowfly to bang into with potential to break it and it may be a one shot wonder if you sleep with your windows open, but from a novelty gadget point of view it’s still pretty cool.
