thanate(to quote Natalie, who meant to say "pillow")
My grandparents own what is possibly the most disturbing clock ever... my grandmother says it was a gift, so it's not her fault, but they haven't taken the batteries out yet, so I'm not sure that's an excuse. At any rate, it is one of the cheap sort that plays a digitally recorded noise on the hour, with a slightly blurry picture of (Jesus? I think?) on the front. And every hour the light sensor picks up light, it plays a couple seconds of the super-cheap speaker version of uplifting music, which is cut off by a very badly done digital voice reciting one of the ten commandments, and then the music resumes for another couple seconds. The commandments repeat in order, totally off cycle from the hours. I discovered this when it went in the middle of dinner and told us "Thou shalt not committ adultery."
Fortunately, due to the light sensor, if you throw a towel over it, it should be silent. Of course, at that point it's not much use as a clock, but sometimes sacrifices must be made...
