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.

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.
