Fire alarm, eh!

I'm sitting here in my hotel room in Toronto ... the fire alarm is currently going off. It's a loud beep every five seconds, and every minute or so a very polite voice comes on and says "Attention, the fire alarm system has been activated." (oh, really?) "Please stand by and listen for further instructions."

Here's the thing, though -- it's so cold here that if the building is on fire, more people would probably rush IN than OUT.

Despite being incredibly annoying, this is the most polite fire alarm I've ever heard -- it's actually just the alarm to let you know that the actual alarm might come (I swear, there is a sign on the door explaining this).
