Time Flies When You're Having Fun Killing Flies From the page: "The clock is equipped with a conveyor belt of flypaper that traps insects and transports them to a chemical bath where they are broken down in a microbial fuel cell.

From the page: "We need a larger one then we will have a place to put those terrorist from cuba" DUMB FUCK ALERT! DUMB FUCK ALERT! DUMB FUCK ALERT! Oh, and killing insects to tell the time = good, does it? Wind up your own fucking watch. WIND UP YOUR WATCH YOU MURDERING CUNTS! Why do things have to die so you can say "Hey wow groovy look at my pointless technology mannnnnnnnnnn". Kill yourselves.

Such a brilliant idea. I don't know if enough insects would be trapped to power very much though.

Installing is Easy!
