Flying saucers

Sometime today, my room mate used his problem solving skills to silence some beeping smoke detectors. One in each hand, he chucked them into our yard. And about midnight, a beeping that we couldn't find woke us all up. Except him. We searched. And about the time we pinpointed it to OUTSIDE, he came around. "Oh, there's some smoke detectors out there." One flashlight between all of us, we found them.
