Auburn Skate Connection

John Gustafson began skating at 5 years old, rolling along on squeaky wheels that would carry him toward a lifetime of high-speed competition. At 25, he became a professional skater, winning national championships in both speed skating and figure skating before settling down as the owner of Auburn Skate Connection. His love of skating hasn’t dimmed, though; even with his 69th birthday approaching, John continues to lace up his skates each day to gain an extra 2 inches of height and guide students in the sport he knows so well.

Alongside instructors that he himself recruited, John teaches the art of effortless rolling during private lessons on the rink’s solid-wood skating surface. The team imbues students with the intricacies of quad and inline skating while also focusing on the fundamentals of racing. Their dedication has borne some notable fruit. Olympic gold-medalist Apolo Ohno took his first glides at Auburn, working with John for three years before moving on to his life of ice-based glory.

The Groupon Guide to: Evolution

While many believe that evolution is a scientific fact, it is—in reality—a collection of the smaller, individual scientific facts presented below:

• Evolution occurs when, over millions of years and reproductive cycles, an organism spontaneously mutates in a way that is advantageous to further reproduction, like the first microbe who was able to take a breath of oxygen and use it to say "I don't know what it is, but you look nice today."

• Evolution is blatantly visible in some animals, such as giraffes who have evolved long necks to absorb more of the sunlight that powers their brains, or penguins who have devolved their ability to fly in order to avoid skysharks. It should be noted that skysharks, invented by a Soviet geneticist in 1972, are not strictly the product of evolution, although they are unstoppable.

• Human evolution has stagnated in recent decades due to the discarding of traditional notions of survival of the fittest in favor of altruism, care for the very young and very old, and the stubborn refusal to resort to cannibalism, even on very long or frustrating elevator rides. Scientists agree that evolution itself will most likely evolve into something more practical, like a tiny voice that whispers "get robot arms."

Are human beings no longer evolving? The shocking truth.
