Habitot Children's Museum

A group of teachers and parents founded Habitot Children's Museum in 1998 with one specific mission in mind: to foster children up to 6 years old by encouraging their creativity and natural curiosity. Today, the 4,000-square-foot museum backs up this mission with research—gleaned from studies by scientists, psychologists, and educators—positing that healthy play spurs social skills, creative thinking, and problem solving, laying the foundation for kids to succeed later in life and imprison boogeymen in their booby-trapped closet tomorrow.

At Habitot, kids find such opportunities at small-scale exhibits and themed play areas throughout the museum. Aspiring firefighters steer a small-scale truck, race through a pretend burning building, and maneuver the hose and nozzle from a fire hydrant, all while donning coats, boots, and helmets. Young explorers press buttons, turn dials, and issue commands for pretend space launches inside a 13-foot model rocket ship or navigate a vertical floor-to-ceiling maze designed to mimic worm tunnels. At the waterworks table and pumping station, young engineers manipulate water using buckets, funnels, waterwheels, and pitchers to help them understand H2O’s unique properties, such as how it keeps boats afloat on the arms of a thousand mermen. (At different times throughout the year, the staff transforms this area with a different theme; at times it’s been a car wash, a marine-science lab, or the racing grounds for a rubber-ducky regatta.) Visitors can tap into their inner van Goghs at the art studio, where they play with soft clays and go nuts on a paintable wall. Habitot also hosts year-round children's camps with themes such as beaches, transportation, space, castles, and science.

The Groupon Guide to: Heavy-Metal Lyrics

One the hardest things about writing heavy-metal music, be it of the speed, black, or death variety, is coming up with appropriately ruthless ideas for songs. Here, then, is a list of ideas which should serve as adequate heavy-metal song premises. Please send any completed versions of these songs to cat@groupon.com.

  • A black tower rises forth from beneath a city. The people are scared of the tower. The sun turns to dust and the moon turns to raw hamburger meat.

  • A little boy has been waiting all day for cookies. He knows they will be delicious. When he comes home, his house is gone but the cookie jar is sitting alone in the yard. The cookie jar is full of eyeballs.

  • The Frost Giants of Fjallmuir revolt from the tyrannical rule of Orlor. They use dead trees as cudgels.

  • A cool car that is also fast

  • Pretty much any gloaming, reaving, sundering, or purging

  • A boy is lost in the big city. Two ruthless thieves will stop at nothing to kill him. He tortures them using various improvised brutal weapons. He befriends a beggar who can talk to birds.

  • A sad king laments the pile of screaming rats that the wizard turned his wife into.

  • A guitar comes to life and zaps lightning at the houses of everyone who was ever mean to you, the listener. The guitar also shoots fire and becomes invisible if bad guys are around. The guitar is your best friend and you get to ride an eagle with your friend Kenneth.

“The Purging of the Winterfalcons” would be a good heavy metal song or band name.
