Set Your Clocks Ahead and Other Important Reminders from ‘The Flintstones’ [VIDEO]

Don't forget to sharpen the teeth of your lawnmowers, clam shell razors and finest cutlery. It's also important that your garbage disposal gets proper exercise to maintain a healthy appetite.

Look, as we rocket ever faster into the future, old standby reminders like setting your clocks for daylight saving seem less and less important. My 2004 Impala still needs a time adjustment and so does the clock on my 1989 Hotpoint stove...and that's it.

But at least there is still one reminder that even someone wearing Google glasses needs to pay attention to. As far as I know, not even the smartest phone can warn you that your home is on fire. So please change the batteries in your smoke detectors this weekend.

Too bad there isn't a wisecracking sabretooth parrot that can fly up there and do it for you.
