Holy Moly here we go!
According to reports, parents can now help their children study - how? - by buying a ball and chain that only unlocks when they have studied for long enough.
Parents can set the desired study time on the 9.5kg so-called 'Study Ball' and attach it to their child's ankle. Then a red digital display counts down the 'Study Time Left' and the device beeps and unlocks when the time expires.
Luckily enough it cannot be locked for more than four hours and comes with a safety key that allows the manacle to be opened at anytime.
If you want one, it costs £75 and is sold online at curiosite.com The website says: "Quite often, students who are having problems concentrating tend to get up every ten minutes to watch TV, talk on the phone, take something out of the fridge, and a long list of other distractions."
I guess it could have been a good party trick at least!
