More oddities

So, after everything else that happened last night, I was awoken at 1:5-something by, um, urban music. Not blaring, by any means.

At first I thought it was coming from another room, given the large number of college kids around (Lord, I'm a curmudgeon), but then I realized it was coming from the clock radio.

So, I reached over and started pressing buttons. Nothing made it stop. Pressed 'em all again. Still rappin'.

Finally I turned on the light, found a very small button on the side of the radio labelled "On-Off-Auto." It was on Auto, so I slid it to off.

Still playing.

I slid it BACK to Auto, then Back to Off. Still music. To On, then Off. Nope, still music.

Finally, FINALLY I hit snooze. The music went off, but since it was only snoozing, I was afraid it would come back. I made sure that the button was still on Off, though, and luckily we made it through the night with no more surprises!
