    I use my cell phone for an alarm clock so I'll keep my $130 to spend on hookers and blow, thanks...

    I don't get it... I don't have any trouble processing numbers without having to sit up. I can also read words lying down too..

    @ApolloCoppard: Well aren't you special, "Mr. I can read sideways?" Not everyone is capable of.... oh wait. Yeah, they are.

    You're right. This is just silly.

    Some of us can read upside-down, sideways, backwards...

    I think I'll just stick with what I've got, thankyouverymuch.

    Wait, but how do you read the time when you have it mounted on a wall? Doesn't make sense to me in the second photo...

    @MIKERIOSISAWHORE.COM:
    In the second picture, you can see a pillow at the bottom. Imagine your head is on that pillow, and that clock is mounted as shown to your headboard (or the wall, if you don't have a headboard). Now, when the alarm goes off, you can simply look straight at the clock, from a head-to-pillow position, and read that it says "8:17".

    @Purple Dave: What pillow in the picture? There's insn't one. Although if you click through you can see a headboard... now, what if your headboard is 3 or 4 cm's thick... this is a solution waiting for a problem, nothing more.

    @All Your Base Are Belong To Us:
    That headboard is in a different room. Notice the bricks behind the headboard (which is what the clock is mounted to in that image) that are not present in the picture shown here.

    OR. Buy some wood and carve a shell for a normal alarm clock that works the exact same.

    *grabs double sided tape*

    This could be bad for apt. dwellers since the sound would be transferred much more easily through the wall.
