I feel the need to offer a possible scientific explanation: Usually temperatures in the house are cooler than during the day; batteries have a lower output at lower temperatures; smoke detectors draw very little current from the battery (when they are not sounding an alarm) therefore they are sensitive in changes to battery output . Ergo, they almost always give a low battery alarm at night.
There's that and sod's law to contend with!

Dear Beloved,
That cancer is a bitch, isn't it?
As much as I'd like to help I already have in excess of $250,000,000 in my bank account. It just sits there all day doing nothing. The three houses and fourteen automobiles are all paid for but those #%$#! payouts from the lottery just keep rolling in - did you know there is no legal recourse to force the state to stop making deposits? What happens if the freakin' account fills up? I don't want to go to jail!
What I'm saying is another $3,000,000 would actually be a burden at this point. I cannot get rid of this stuff fast enough. If you would like to help please find me a scam artist who can help clean up this mess - sorry, a kind old lady like you wouldn't know anyone like that - anyways, good luck with the Chemo.

Sure Griff, send me your bank details and I'll wire it straight over.

The worst thing with these is that the day you get a real one, you won't even bother to look at it.

Poor lady, it seems she's suffering from amnesia too. Why else would she send you an email like that?

Funnily enough, my wife received an email stating that the sender was managing a bequest and needed some personal verification details. We were, naturally, suspicious and our first instinct was to bin it. However, we researched the sender and found that they were legitimately in the business of finding beneficiaries (for a cut, of course) and she got paid out.
.... about 90 quid if memory serves!

ROCHESTER, MN—Bacon, long believed to contribute to heart disease and obesity, possesses significant health benefits, according to a study released Monday by Dr. Albert Gruber, the best scientist ever. "My research has found that three strips of crispy, mouthwatering bacon every morning can actually reduce cholesterol and help slow the aging process," the awesome Gruber said. "What's more, the bacon's positive effects are enhanced when combined with milk shakes and/or marijuana." In 1997, Gruber, a Mayo Clinic cardiologist, was awarded nine Nobel Prizes in Medicine for discovering that frequent oral sex with models cures cancer
Shame it's a parody
