Don't batteries expire? Edit: Date is to know when to reolace batteries, as detectors are powered by batteries.
The date is to replace the detector after 10 years. I can't find why 10 years exactly, it just seems to be a typical lifetime of electronics if high reliability is required. (I have lots of ancient electronics that still sort of work.)

They are just too passive. They never talk, never show any emotion or interact with you in other ways. Unless they are smoking hot, but then they scream like crazy.
Actually, I found out that they scream like crazy when you are smoking hot! :fire::fire::fire:

I finally ran a few miles yesterday, beating my friend on a bet, and now I can barely stand and walk. The thrill of victory and the agony of de feet.

What the engineering consultant said:
Well, considering the budget limitations you've put on this project, we'll have to forgo most of the fancy stuff, so it isn't going to be sexy at all. As for the schedule, we should be able to finish it in about 3 months but it will take another month of testing before it will be ready for the customer. And don't forget we have to meet with the customer reps by the first of next month to make sure we're all on the same page for the project specs, otherwise the schedule will probably slip if there are significant changes.

What the marketing guy heard:
This sexy new product will be ready by the first of next month.
