I stumbled upon this today, which inspired me to come up with the following exciting idea for a brand new product:
The Coded Clock displays the time in a secret code, which you'll have to decode before you'll be able to tell what time it is. Now you can rest assured that no one will be able to tell the time using your clock without having the secret code, shown below.  0 = R~ 1 = Q~ 2 = A~ 3 = C~ 4 = E~ 5 = T~ 6 = N~ 7 = D~ 8 = H~ 9 = K~ R~ = S Q~ = U A~ = V C~ = Z E~ = Y T~ = B N~ = F D~ = W H~ = X K~ = L So if your clock reads, say, US:ZS then it means that the time is 10:30; SY:BW means 4:57, etc. --------------------    Things that I don't suck at: Photography (flickr, JPG Mag), "Don't bail; the best gold is at the bottom of barrels of crap!" -Randy Pausch I have people-skills goddamnit!

Great idea. I've always wanted to know the time without anyone else in the room knowing. Unless of course, they have a watch or a mobile phone or something.
