Grenade alarm clock shuts off when tossed

grenade-alarm-clock.jpg

Now here's a satisfying piece of gadget design: an alarm clock that's shaped like a grenade. To turn the alarm off, simply hurl it across the room. It doesn't explode, unfortunately, but I suppose that would be dangerous and expensive despite how satisfying it would be.

I'm not sure how many tosses this thing can take before breaking, but one would think that if it was made specifically to get tossed by angry non-morning people, it can stand up to quite a bit of punishment. The company also makes a similar model that's shaped like a soccer ball, but that doesn't seem nearly as appropriate as the grenade.
