Steely Dan Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Are you dead yet? To quote Monty Python; "I think she's dead." "No I'm not. AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Crash, bang.

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Don't end up like Vitas Gerulaitis: Gerulaitis died in an accident on September 17, 1994, at age 40. While visiting a friend's home in Southampton, Long Island, a malfunction in the heating system caused odorless, poisonous carbon monoxide gas to seep into the guesthouse where Gerulaitis was sleeping, causing his death. Gerulaitis is interred in Saint Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale, Long Island, New York.

I suppose death would be a symptom. You can check them for response with a cigarette. Replace them every 5 years. Handy guide courtesy of our Northern neighbors: http://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/en/co/maho/yoho.../inaiqu_002.cfm And when you purchase smoke detectors, buy the combination photoelectric/ionization units. The ionization part reacts faster to flames, the photoelectric faster to smoldering smoke. http://extension.missouri.edu/publications...ub.aspx?P=G1907
