There have been several Vader alarm clocks in the past, but the latest exclusive from the official StarWarsShop might very well be the most effective at getting you up. You see, each morning will be met with an alarm and the projected shadow of Darth Vader on the wall, ready to strike. There are no details on how big the projected image actually is, but if it’s life-size, you might be headed back to bedwetting.

Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of January 4th-10th, 2010:
Endless Time LED Grandfather Clock: Is endlessly tacky.
The Gas Guard: Like a bib for your car.
Vlad “The Impaler” Dracula Premium Format Action Figure: One of the real-life inspirations behind Bram Stoker’s Dracula… In action figure form.
Fossilized Dinosaur Poop: Helps educate young minds.
Tiger Woods Brand Condoms: Cover up your Driver.
It looks like Grandpa Clock retired, moved to Vegas and ditched his dusty old clothes for some loud-ass shirts. Some LEDs (arranged to produce a cool tunnel effect on the clock face) and a little steel create a grandfather clock unlike anything you have ever seen before.
It works just like a normal clock, but that second hand has some sort of developmental disorder. It will just wander off randomly, doing as it pleases. Probably relying on instinct mostly. At any rate, this is what you get when clocks keep it in the family.

Here’s yet another product in the long line of garbage to gadget conversions, this time for the bicycle lover in your life. Presenting a clock made from reclaimed bike chainwheels that tells time, promotes recycling and can stab you. Since many conventional clocks cost more and can only offer a third of that deal, it’s time to get a tetanus shot and clear some prominent wall space, because it’s bargain braggin’ time!

Waking up in the morning is annoying and mosquitoes are annoying. It seems perfectly logical, then, to put both together into one simple product. Rather than waking up to gentle music that may just make you want to go right back to sleep, the buzzing of this mosquito alarm clock will make you want to get right out of bed just to stop the annoying critter. Once you are awake enough to realize that it is just your alarm clock, again, you are awake enough to start your day. Also available in a mooing cow and always popular crowing rooster version.

What does an alien hatching mean to you? It means it is time to get out of bed. Once the Alien hatching Egg Alarm Clock hits the preset time, the alien will pop out of his egg with a shrieking laugh and flashing red eyes. The only way to stop it is to zap him with the included gun. No better way to start the day than to wake up slaughtering aliens.

These Birdhouse Alarm Clocks can wake you up with a gentle birdsong or a beeping alarm that gets louder as it goes on longer. You can hit the sleep button for a few more minutes of sleep on those tough mornings, the perch is what doubles as the sleep button. For even easier sleeping, the clock itself makes no noise at all, just the silent sweeping of the second hand.
