"Sleep is overrated," he wrote unconvincingly. Indeed, the only reason the thought entered his brain was the lack of sleep occasioned by the fire alarms going off in his building at 4 a.m. That there was no actual fire was a silver lining, but he could not escape the self-destructive thought that if the fire alarms are going to go off at 4 a.m., ther had da*n well better be a fire...

Karl,

I was recently awoken at the sound of a squealing siren as well, only mine was accompanied by a mysterious computer synthesized voice exclaiming, "Carbon Monoxide - Emergency!" over and over again!

Now, I had heard plenty about carbon monoxide over the years and by heard about it I mean that I knew it existed. That was about it. That night I learned that the threat of being killed from it was enough to a warrant Transformer voiced alarm system so I freaked out, grabbed the nearest article of clothing I could find, thrust it across my face, checked to see if I had somehow left my gas stove on, opened up the nearest window and was just about to head out my front door to collect my thoughts when suddenly Megatron disapeared and I was left in my doorway holding some boxerbriefs and a T-shirt.

As it turns out the tennant below me tried to remove their alarm system and I still no next to nothing about carbon monoxide which is why I'm now going to take a little journey on over to Wikipedia.
