I would just train myself to wake the second the blades started spinning to silence the alarm. You underestimate the reaction time of someone who wants to snooze.
 
This will be so great for my kids! My daughter would sleep through a buzzer, but not the whirling death blades of a flying clock!!! muuuahhahahhaha

My wife bought me the one from ThinkGeek a couple Christmases back. It had an AC adaptor receptacle.
This past Christmas, I bought all three kids their own from Dollar General for $5. No AC receptacle, but otherwise identical.
A receptacle is a couple bucks from RatShack.

I don't unconsciously press the off button on my alarm anymore, but I do wake up to the sound of the CD spinning up in my alarm clock. In the summer time, I found myself waking up to similar frequency sounds from outside when the window was open 🙁.
 
sounds like something that will wake up the entire family. I think by the end of the week I'd probably take a bat to it :]
 
If it ran off of an AC adapter all you have to do is unplug the thing to shut it off. If it has that cool battery compartment with that little itty bitty screw that holds the door on then you can consider the battery version to be a fail safe mechanism. On the other hand I would simply through it against the wall before I chased a rotor around my room 🙂

or....$15 is worth a priceless prank on a friend renowned for sleeping past lunchtime.
 
that is so awesome. I used to have a really bad problem turning the alarm off and going back to sleep. I kept moving my alarm farthe from my bed until it was eventually about 20 feet away... lol This thing looks great but I can imagine it would piss off my girlfriend who gets up 90 minutes later then me. Knowing me I'd lose the rotor and the alarm would never turn off.
