Study Ball, tie yourself to your work – literally

I came across the Study Ball on Darrell Whitelaw’s entertaining Twitter feed and I share his sentiment; I can’t wait to have kids upon whose fragile psyche I can unleash this little puppy.

The Study Ball is a ball and chain with a time lock  designed to help you keep track of your study. At 10kgs and US$115 it’s way too light and expensive to be truly effective as a torture tool but as an honour system/ evocative reminder that schooling is a prison of the mind, it’ll do the job.

Unfortunately the timer is  limited to 4 hours, which, I’m sure you’ll agree, is hardly a suitable time period in which to instill discipline. My little brats are gonna be tied down for stretches upwards of 8 hours. And if they complain that that is cruel I’m going to bring Jesse Venture around for an hour of waterboarding. Let’s see how much they complain after he extracts enough confessions to get them locked away for a 30 year stretch.
