Alarm clock: A device that scares the daylight into you.

Just FYI, but remember that early Sunday morning it will be time to change all the clocks back one hour for Daylight Saving Time. If you're going to be out late partying, then you get one extra party hour, or one extra hour of sleep / recovery. I have always wondered, rhetorically, if the clock goes back one hour, do all the TV shows (or probably infomercials) get replayed?

As a pet peeve, please note that there is no 's' at the end of 'Saving', so please tell people to stop doing it. You wouldn't call the Thanksgiving period 'turkey cookings time' nor Christmas 'presents givings day'. That is almost as frustrating as the people that honestly seem to have no clue (as opposed to just being lazy) as to the difference between 'your' and 'you're'.
