It’s a desk clock shaped like something out of an episode of 24. It’s also one of those, “why didn’t I think of this?” gadgets that we love. It’s just a concept piece now, but if this hits the shelves, we know we’re getting one as soon as possible.

Unsurprisingly, someone *has* thought of it before, and done a much better job of it.
e.g. spymall.com, “Dynamite Clock”, mentioned on Boing Boing.

My dad tried to take one of those (but looked much better than this hideous thing) about a decade ago. Needless to say, his dumbass got questioned which also resulted in a delayed flight.
It’s one thing to have a “clock” that looks like a bomb but is called “clock” and tells time, it’s another to have a “clock” that looks like a bomb but is called “bomb” and “explosive” and tells time.
One is “funny, ha ha” the other is “funny, bend over for the cavity search”
This one looks like a bomb but is called “bomb” and “explosive”.
