« The antedating game | Main | Mooninite kudos » Thursday, February 8, 2007Life in post-Mooninite Boston Bostonians, I have a public safety message for you: Please, please do not buy the "Danger Bomb Clock," even though it will be available in March from Hobby Link Japan and elsewhere. And even though the Danger Bomb Clock seems fun. When the alarm goes off, the clock makes an exploding noise that you can only stop if you guess correctly which of the three colored wires to yank out (it looks like they're attached by magnets in the middle). The correct wire is different from one morning to the next. I repeat: Don't buy these! Because the last thing Boston needs is another $2 million windfall if these should happen to fool the bomb squad. Thank you. Via Gizmodo
