I need to know why my smoke alarms were chirping this morning despite being hard wired

[Ron Burgundy]

Same happened with me recently. Perhaps a change of backup battery?

Mine did that last weekend so I changed the backup battery and it all good now

An alarm to warn you daylight savings has ended

Is it really that much of a surprise?

Why not call it the orange box?

Because the early versions were black. It's one of them just coz explanations as to why it hasn't changed.

More likely that "black box" was originally used in the systems engineering context - ie the interface is designed so that the inputs and outputs are known but the plane (or anyone else) does not require actual knowledge of the inner workings.

Another fun fact - it was actually invented in Australia, by David Warren at DSTO (DSTO ftw)

Orange is the new black.

This one might be one for @Psyber

but do you need chicken pox booster shots? Had one in in 2003 when it first came out, haven't worried about it since.....

. I got my chicken pox at the grand old age of 28 back in 2001. My doctor said it was the worst case he's seen in a long time and said I had absolutely no chance of ever getting them again! I think I may have made them worse as I (unknowingly) came down with them on Australia Day, so went to the cricket in 40 degree heat and lasted 2 overs before going home. Next day I was COVERED.

On a different topic, has anyone noticed this website takes a lot longer to load nowdays or is it just me? It appears to have something to do with the ad at the top of the page.

I got the blessed pox the day i got my year 12 results... pretty crappie day all round... though went back to high school, did year 13 and had one of the best years of my life... chicken pox were everywhere though... absolutely everywhere... shudder

Pretty sure you don't. It's a once off one dose vaccine. That is what my Microbiology textbook says anyway.

It's not my field of expertise, as I never practised as a GP.
I've never had Chicken Pox, nor any immunisation for it, but I do have antibodies to it.
That suggests I had some sub-clinical exposure to it in my childhood without getting ill, and that the antibodies last a long time..
(Same with Mumps.)

I hope that answers your question, Heater

That seems an acceptable enough answer.

depends on the chicken

[Footy Chick]

I need to know why it's called Chicken Pox in the first instance. It's not like we get it from CHickens...

It should be called People Pox.

How about we call it Varicella zoster or VZV for short......


According to Wikipedia their are concerns that it doesn't last life long.....
