Death Valley National Park

In the early morning of January 22, 2011, a photographer was shooting pictures in Death Valley National Park.

Everyone knows the iconic scene in The Godfather where the guy wakes up with a horse head in his bed? At ThinkGeek, we like to take it a step further. You see, since we're all friends, some of us have keys to each other's houses. For pet sitting and plant watering purposes, of course. And then sometimes, we send our ninja monkey in with the Vader helmet and a bag of Human Blood Caffeinated Energy Potion and have them set up a similar scene in someone's bed whilst they sleep. Oh, and set up the webcam for documentation purposes (and lulz). Poor Billy is still twitchy. Good times, good times.

Anyhoo, if you'd enjoy waking up next to Vader in a slightly less disturbing way, we recommend you get a Darth Vader Projection Alarm Clock. It's a shrunken head of Vader, about 6" tall, and projects the time onto the wall or ceiling, whichever you prefer. There's even a recording of Vader's creepy stalker breathing that you can use as the alarm. If the creepy stalker breathing doesn't wake you up, the Darth Vader Projection Alarm Clock will Force Choke you. Maybe. You'll have to sleep in to find out.
