Colorful Japanese alarm clock that talks
These colorful, slightly nipple-like gadgets are called Good Egg Talking Clocks &mdash they're alarm clocks that tell you what time it is in a Japanese human voice when you push the little nob. Also, to wake you up, it says "Kokekkoko!!" Which is the sound roosters make in the morning. Like cock-a-doodle-do, Japanese-style. It goes on sale at the end of the month, probably only in Japan.

I think it's interesting that ever culture and language interprets animal sounds differently. English is no different, cows don't really say "Moo" they go "Raaaaa", at least to my ears. Roosters don't really say "doodle do" either.
