Wooden? Why wooden? I'm pretty sure an iron hammer would work much better, wouldn't it?

You think so? Quite a good idea indeed! You have great concepts, I must admit, Blouen.

(Drill, why didn't I figure it myself? Why, why, why???)

I know you could have thought of it if I haven't thought of it first.

I like this. For it will give you two quite wonderful results.

"Either you wake up and rush to wash(the blood) on your face or sleep more deeply(R.I.P.)."

:confused:
if the alarm clock went off, how could you say that "but ı couldnt wake up"
maybe you can say "so ı couldnt wake up"
"to go off means to be spoiled" ı think. Am ı false ???
I think, this just be applied to the DIGITAL ALARM CLOCK. The alarm rings 5 times then it automatically goes off.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but for an alarm clock to go 'in' or 'our', it would need legs. Alarm clocks usually go off (meaning make some kind of noise to wake you up ...).
