<p>The next time a car tries drive in the bike lane, hit &#8216;em with the 115 decibel blast of the <a href="http://gadget.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00451">Thunder Horn</a>. To put it in perspective, that&#8217;s about as loud as standing in the front row of a <em>Metallica </em>concert. The $12 horn can crank out an earsplitting alert that should wake up even the laziest of drivers and peds.</p>
<p>This manufacturer&#8217;s warning pretty much sums it up: <em>&#8220;<font class="productdesc">Do not use within 50cm (18 inches) of anyone(s) ears to avoid damage.&#8221; </font></em></p>

		<description><![CDATA[This ridiculous cell phone from China is capable of blasting out ringtones and media files at an earsplitting 120dB.

For those of you not familiar with the Decibel Scale, that&#8217;s somewhere between &#8220;Front Rows at Rock Concert&#8221; and &#8220;Threshold of Pain.&#8221; Unfortunately, this video of the phone in action doesn&#8217;t&#8230;]]></description>

<p>For those of you not familiar with the <a href="http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/GBSSCI/PHYS/CLASS/sound/u11l2b.html">Decibel Scale</a>, that&#8217;s somewhere between &#8220;Front Rows at Rock Concert&#8221; and &#8220;Threshold of Pain.&#8221; Unfortunately, this video of the phone in action doesn&#8217;t really capture just how load 120dB is.</p>

<p>Featuring an array of five speakers, and &#8220;dynamic 3D sound,&#8221; the <a href="http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl=en&amp;langpair=zh-CN%7Cen&amp;u=http://www.gophone.com.tw/report_hottest_content.jsp%3Fsn%3D0707020005">QKphone 911</a> suffers from a serious identity crisis. While it&#8217;s loaded with all the typical business applications of a Windows Mobile Smartphone, it&#8217;s also got a bunch of multimedia capabilities, including a weird media player with a dancing girl on it.</p>
<p>I can only imagine how obnoxious those horrible <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Frog">Crazy Frog</a> ringtones would be on this device.</p>
