American colonists originally protested the British government by dumping coffee into Boston Harbor, which rendered the water jittery but incredibly productive. Take a stand against oppressive fatigue with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $35 worth of gourmet coffee, teas, and gift boxes at Joe’s Coffee House, an online store devoted to the consumption and appreciation of breakfast-beverage staples. Joe's roasts and ships its coffee within 24 hours of when your order is placed, so the beans aren't just sitting around a warehouse waiting for you to click buy.
Joe’s Coffee House acts as a perky pilot for foreign-flavor excursions. Try the Bolivia Colonial Carnavari, an organic blend of sweet cocoa tones derived from trees of the classic typica variety of Arabica and priced at $14.95 for a pound (whole bean or ground). Fill your travel mug with finds from Hawaii, India, Jamaica, and El Salvador, fantastical faraway lands accessible only by aerocraft or imagination. Blends typically average around $20 per pound, with exceptions for the more exquisite varieties. If a cup of java isn't what you need in the morning, Joe's also has a large tea selection to fit your fancy.
Joe's is superb for supplying a useful present for a bridal shower, baby shower, or offensive-player-of-the-week shower. Or use your Groupon toward one of its gift boxes, such as the flavored sampler, which includes 4 pounds of unique coffee flavors, including malibu rum and crème brûlée ($45.95).

The Groupon Guide to: Sky Etymology
"Why is the sky blue?" is not only the most common question about the sky but also the easiest to answer: the sky turned from clear to blue on August 16, 1977, at the exact moment Elvis died. What people don't know is how the sky got its name. Here is a guide to the names of all things skyward:
Sun: From the Latin Sunnius delitium, meaning "thick orange substance that makes you want orange juice."
Moon: M.O.O.N. is actually an acronym for Mobile Orb-shaped Owl Necropolis. This is why man has never gone there.
Clouds: The ancient Greeks thought that clouds were both hilarious and extremely powerful and named them by combining the words clowns and gods.
Airplanes: Now that we can soar through it in giant mechanical monsters, the air is pretty plain.
Sky: Short for Skylar, which the Sumerians thought would look pretty rad airbrushed on a dirt bike.
