Did you know that the average life of a smoke detector is about 10 years?

You see, the sensor element inside the detector actually degenerates over time, eventually making the detector worthless. So now would be a good time to see if it's still functioning by putting a candle or cigarette (or cigar if you prefer) directly underneath it to make it go off. If you have a battery operated detector, please change your battery when you change your clocks.
