Wake Up On Time Or This Alarm Clock Will Fling Balls At Your Face

I adore this concept design. It’s basically an alarm clock which flings a ball at your face before going off. In order to make the noise stop, you have to find the ball and put it back where it belongs. Of course, there’s no mention of an emergency snooze button so I guess you’ll have…

Awesome Official 1966 Batmobile Replicas Now for Sale

I can’t believe DC has officially licensed the 1966 Batmobile for real, full-scale car production.
