    Building a Better Mousetrap, er, Alarm Clock

    Well it's finally happened. I am being forced to make an alarm clock that is completely Bert-proof. I have conquered all forms of alarms, including buzzers, TV's, radios, CD's, multiples, across-the-rooms, etc. I got em all dead. Well I'm being late to a lot of my classes, and it just hit the point that I can be late one more time or I start being in SERIOUS crap to possibly lose some scholarshippage.

    So what do I do?

    Ebay of course!

    I will be making a pneumatic dumping bed. Yes, in the mornings, if I am not up within a minute (or something) of a preset time, my bed will creep upwards until I fall out of it. I haven't gotten everything completely worked out yet, but I'll try to post some pics when I do!

    BTW, until I get this done, do any of you have any good methods for getting up on time?

      My little sister added ropes to her room to trip on.

      I would suggest drinking water before drinking. You either wake up, or pee yourself.

        My suggestions:

        - Get a dog
        - Go to bed earlier
        - Use some will power
        - If you can get out of bed to turn the alarm clock off... dont get back into bed when its off

          I set my alarm clock on the other side of my room.. I have to get up. Since in college I had the top bunk, once you were up you might as well stay up.

            Cellphone alarm? Put your cellphone across the room so eventually you'll have to get it.

            Works for me most of the time, because it keeps ringing until you turn it off.

              attach electrodes to your testicles, so instead of a buzzer, you get the shock of your life first thing in the morning

                    I got some of the FUNNIEST images reading this thread. And I want a Clocky.

                    Why don't you get a wife? That'll wake you up...

                    "Get up, get up, get up. You're going to be late for class. Get up, get up. If you loved me you'd get up. I guess that means you don't love me then. Get up, get up..." and so on.

                    And you can NEVER turn them off.

                      I never worried about turning my ex off, it was turning her on that interested me

                            I want to smack you for saying that.
                            And by smack I mean beat senseless.

                              well if you still have those other clocks,, here is a plan i came up with-

                              put one by you (warm up)

                              one by bathroom door (gets you moving over there)

                              one on the toilet (you have till it goes off to get showered and ready, add on time if you had some mexican food)

                              one by your school/work stuff (to get you over there and ready to head out)
                              Hard work never killed anybody...but why take a chance?
