Low batteries, maybe? (If you changed them all at the same time, they'd all be running out together.)
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Stephanie -- try putting a fresh battery in one? A lot of people change batteries on the Equinoxes, so it may be a case of them all expiring at nearly once....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Any suggestions on how to get them to stop, hivemind?
Circuit breaker?
One thing you might want to check is to see if a spider has spun a web inside one of the detectors (especially if there's one down in the basement). Happened to me once, and I was flummoxed until I opened up the basement detector and found the web.

Arrrrgh. Had meeting this afternoon. Our big corporate client is being petty and pissy, but what do I care, you know? Quitting soon!
Only I find out at this meeting that I earn my company approx. $325,000 a year. All by myself. Pretty much just me, my computers, and a FedEx kiosk.
Am I right in thinking they haven't been paying me enough?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I want a webcam feed.
I'll settle for a live cell phone connection.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Are they carbon monoxide detectors too?
