Though chances are, since tomorrow’s Saturday, you won’t need this alarm clock.  But how weird– the Wake n’ Bacon alarm.  It wakes you up to the smell of bacon:

A frozen strip of bacon is placed in Wake n’ Bacon the night before. Because there is a 10 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 10 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the alarm goes off, the clock it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked the clock so that the signal is re-routed by a microchip that in responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes.

As much as I like bacon, this would not work for me.  Maybe I should just stick to the bacon fat soap instead.
