doesn’t it count down to his death? That would make it a Dethklok.

That last image totally sells it. Nothing says “Escape from New York” like awkwardly holding a beer while chuckling off to the side. Almost like it was taken straight out of the movie. Soooo cool. It’s a shame we can’t see his eye patch though.

Great. But I would have wanted that back when I was twelve.

Surely it would be small without the readout. So is there a jumper to make it a life-clock from “Logan’s Run”? Just embed the electronics in your palm, with an LED to indicate your status.

Though, you’d have to decide whether to go with the book, 21, or the movie, 30, for when Last Day comes up.

I don’t think it had a mode for “pushing 53”.
