Since I can already smell the gift-giving season around the corner, I’ve been trolling the internet for ideas.  This item appears to be a disaster waiting to happen. 

“If you’re not awake to disarm the launch procedure, the Rocket Alarm Clock’s launches its missile, beeping until you return it to the clock’s base.” 

Say WHAT?  You will have a permanent hole in your ceiling unless you wake up to disarm this thing?  Okay, so it looks like it might be made of plastic foam.  The “missle” just flies around in your bedroom, waiting for you to catch it?  Will it fly into the spinning ceiling fan and rain down shrapnel on your sleeping figure?  Does it shoot up into the rafters, smush its nose on a ceiling beam and then return to land on your head?  Now there’s a wake-up call.
