Wake Up Others With 'Sonic Grenade'
Unlike nearly all Raw Feed content, this is neither new nor particularly technology-oriented -- but I couldn't resist. UK gadget web sites are selling a GRENADE ALARM from Paladone called the Sonic Alarm. You use it to wake up other people, such as your lazy kids, hung-over roommate or late-sleeping friend. Just pull the pin, shout "fire in the hole!," lob it into their room, then close the door. The hideous noise -- what the packaging characterizes as "three pitches of skull-shattering sound" -- forces victims to crawl around in search of the offending device so they can shut it off, thereby wrecking their slumber irreversibly. (Anyone know where to buy this in the States?) (props to The Red Ferret Journal)

The battle of noise. How about a fully automatic noise cancelling device right there next to your hung-over head? Just like when you passed out, you'd never hear a thing.
I blogged about this yesterday and as noted, I started to search for the product on-line to purchase.
Per my comment on my own blog entry, the device isn't as good as advertised. I heard it and it's basically a watch alarm sound - nothing serious and definitely not gag-worthy. Great idea and great description on the sites, but not what it needs to be.
Where did you hear it?
if you want to get a Sonic Grenade in the US, go to www.thinkgeek.com and search grenade.
