I wonder if anyone has ever beaten Perl's snooze record. I'm pretty sure he snoozed from 7 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon. Assuming that his clock was a 9-minute snoozer, that's 53 times he hit the snooze button, refusing to convince his brain at any point that it would be ok to just turn the damn thing off...fascinating
