Invented by Matty Sallin, Daniel Bartolini, and Hsiao-huh Hsu, this alarm clock gently wakes you with the aroma of freshly-cooked bacon. Here's how it works:

A frozen strip of bacon is placed in Wake n' Bacon the night before. Because there is a 10 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 10 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the alarm goes off, the clock it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked the clock so that the signal is re-routed by a microchip that in responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes.

Guess they figure it would take that long for the frozen strips to melt in the closed up box, but food experts say you should always thaw your frozen foods in the fridge.
Ladies, sometimes it is just best to be blunt. We guys don't get subtle hints. Instead of being nice and having us try to "read between the lines", you just have to be mean. Most of the time, if you make an arbitrary statement, the guy will still interpret it as being positive, and will continue to ask you out. A simple "I'm sorry, but no" will suffice. It saves you both some time and stress.
Shyly, apologetically, she answers, "Yeah.. probably more like one in a million..."
The realization dawns on the poor hero. "So.. what you're saying is.. there's a chance!"
For most men, not blessed as Mr. Pitt, it's not so much about winning her over.. as wearing her down. It's a different kind of staying power.
On the other hand, I find that women don't understand this when i'm the one who's 'busy'.
