Okay, maybe not the millennium, but some large, unspecified time period -- perhaps nine minutes?

I speak specifically of something I've noticed for many, many years: Why does the alarm clock snooze button give you nine extra minutes, not ten?

At last! Now we know the answer!

Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us."

I wouldn't know. I'm one of those sick people who actually get up right when the alarm goes off.

Have other Dutch people noticed that some advertising asses literally translate alarm clock? I didn't believe it at first, nobody could possibly be that stupid? But no such luck. I hate my people!
