11."Imagine there's no smoker"(by John Lenon !?!?)
The world has become bitter against smokers.However, many people like smoking and can't quit smoking.You might be one of such people. So, what if you got stinky in your mouth if you smoked or broke the "non-smoking promise"?? Very stinky breath will go out from your mouth,and all the people around you, the professors , friends, family members ,and also boy/girl friends.Then you will get so alone....
We are growing E.coli or bacterias which express the enzyme that reacts Dioxine and catalyzes a smelling substract.

You may need to get up early in the morning everyday.Or, You may suffer from sleeping disorders.You sometimes oversleep or sometimes get up too early.Normal alarm clocks are of course outsize of your body, so you can stop stop the alarm easily and then you continue to see the good dreams...like you have some delicious chocolate or you get a new "Prius" in a lot...however, you get up only to see yourself overslept. What if the alarming clock ware in your body? you could not easily stop it.
