Saving money for a rainy day can be hard with so many good (and/or kitchy-worthy) gadgets on the market. This Talking Robot Bank (with LCD Alarm Clock) from Sharper Image aims to help curtail rampant spending habits by verbally identifying and keeping track of how much money you put in, and lauding you when you reach your goal.
And, if that's not enough enticement, it will also menace you (as all robots do), by activating whenever you're near to demand monetary sustenance, ("I am hungry,, please fill me up!") and to question you if you try to make early withdraws ("Uh-oh! I hope you have a good reason for withdrawing your savings!"). Ok - fair enough - his only weapon appears to be an alarm clock - it's not as though he has laser eys (as far as we know). Still, I'd be appreciative if you didn't tell him where me and my credit card debt live, just in case.
