In a Nutshell

Satirical wall calendar depicts humorous scenes of auspicious dates & persons, written & drawn by veteran cartoonist at "The Economist"

The cartoon calendar is the most popular method of keeping track of a year, narrowly beating out the rutabaga-of-the-day calendar, counting a rutabaga's rings, and pronouncing “rutabaga” 15,778,463 times. Give your chops a break with today's Groupon: for $11, you get a 2012 The Economist wall calendar, including shipping (an $18.98 value).

Editorial cartoonist of The Economist since 1978, Kevin “Kal” Kallaugher turns his satirical eye on history and holidays in the third edition of An Illustrated Look at the World Ahead. Unlike those that only print federally mandated opposite days, this month-counter pairs conventional holidays with quirkier factoids, such as James Joyce's birthday and the anniversary of the earmuff's patent. The auspicious persons, places, and dates of the month are then laid out in a cartoonish mise en scène, making an excellent gift for those who have an offbeat sense of humor or an offbeat understanding of backwardation.

The Groupon Guide to: Limousines

Limousines are high-class luxury vehicles full of superstars, and like the saying goes, "If you're going to be part of the limo nation/You'd better have some info-mation." Here's a guide to what you can expect to find on the inside of any given limo:

  • Men in suits being used as chairs by men in tuxedos
  • A woman screaming because her head is sticking out of the top of a moving vehicle
  • Neon lights that spell out "Wear Your Seatbelt"
  • Flat-screen TVs showing the famous scene where Herbie kisses Steph the Limo in The Love Bug
  • Bar stocked with Vroom vodka, the only alcohol designed to meet the specific needs of people who are in a limo on their way somewhere
  • VCR
  • Partition to keep the driver from hearing you wonder aloud if commoners are actually the happy ones
  • Tinted windows to keep light from shining onto the passengers' soft, wet eyes
  • A toilet that flushes with champagne instead of water

Why is that limousine screaming?
