The experience of restaurant dining is easily replicated within the home, provided the recruitment of bow-tied canine waiters and an attentive Roomba vacuum to serve as busboy. Enjoy fine fare in familiar confines with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of restaurant takeout and delivery from SeamlessWeb, featuring restaurants located throughout DC and Maryland. Enter your address and zip code to find out which restaurants deliver to you. The full $20 value of this Groupon must be met in a single order.
SeamlessWeb allows busy cuisine cravers to plan and order meals from a vast array of local restaurants without wasting gas or risking a lost couch seat. With more than 240 local choices ranging from chicken spinach melt sub ($6.99) culled from the kitchens of Snap & Fettucine to the spicy tuna roll ($5.50) crafted within the confines of Sticky Rice, SeamlessWeb offers more choices than the choose-your-own-adventure version of Abe Lincoln's biography. Simply place your takeout or delivery order online using one of a trio of smartphone applications, and stay-at-home foodies can anticipate the moment their feast arrives in its own biodegradable bag.
As all dining decrees are instantaneously transmitted in writing to your vittlesmith of choice, the risk of misinterpreted orders is gnawed to nearly nothing. While straining your ears for the sounds of the doorbell, check out The Delivery Bag, SeamlessWeb's foodie blog featuring news on current currant events, local contests, and charity opportunities.
Though some restaurants do charge an additional fee for delivery (and the Groupon is valid toward these), SeamlessWeb charges no fees to use its service. Some restaurants also post a delivery minimum that must be met in order to process.

The Groupon Guide to: Sun Protection
Strong enough to power all life on Earth and confident enough to disappear every night, the sun is a fearsome force whose destructive might is matched only by its desire to harm humans. Protect yourself against its harsh rays using these optional, mandatory tips:
Invest in Sunscreen: Slathering the viscous topical product on your skin will not only convert the sun's UV rays into energy (saving you the need to consume food), it could also make you a millionaire. Sunscreen is composed mostly of aluminum (periodic symbol A) and uranium (periodic symbol U)—the two main components of gold (periodic symbol Au). Removing the excess chemicals from sunscreen is still how Wal-Mart makes most of its money.
Stay Indoors: Though it recently gained the ability to shine through clear windows (in 1978), sunlight cannot yet pass through even the thinnest of walls. Stay safely ensconced in windowless rooms as often as possible to ensure that the sun's warming rays don't catch your arm hairs on fire. If you need heat, simply put your microwave inside your oven and turn them both on with the doors open.
Know Your Enemy: The sun, like Santa Claus, knows when you're sleeping, knows when you're awake, and is actively being hunted down by NASA scientists bent on capturing and studying it. Nothing you do escapes the sun's omniscience, so learn more about the brightly burning eye in the sky by staring directly at it to identify its weak points. (Hint: it doesn't have any.)
