$159 for One Tandem Skydiving Jump (Up to $289.99 Value)

Harnessed to a skydiving master, fledgling aerialists soar from 10,000 feet while taking in scenic views.

Sportations

Sportations connects amateur adrenaline jockeys to certified professional adventurers, drawing from a nationwide network of aeronauts and speed demons to introduce habitual pedestrians to the wonders of skydiving, ballooning, hang gliding, and stock-car racing. Thrill seekers can zipline across a forest canopy, hollering like Tarzan or taunting nearby birds until they agree to race. Helicopter tours ferry patrons skyward over landmarks and cityscapes, whereas paragliding adventures get up close and personal with blue skies and clouds. For most sports, Sportations accommodates groups of any size, from physics classes empirically proving gravity's existence to solo ballooning supervillains declaring dominion over all they see.


Though Sportations sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

The Groupon Guide to: Summer Bugs

When the weather heats up, Mother Nature's pores open to let out all the insects that have been spent the last 9 months feasting on her insides. If you plan on leaving your house this summer, here are some bugs you'll encounter:

Lightning Bugs: Kids love trapping fireflies in mason jars and then burying the lighted jars so worm mommies and worm daddies have enough light to finally read bedtime stories to their worm babies.
Cicadas: The song of the cicada can be heard for miles away if there is a man standing near a horde of them with some sort of sound-amplification device he spent years building.
Ants: These tiny creatures typically show up at picnics to test all your food for poison before you eat it. Remember: "If they end up dead, don't eat that bread. If they're still breathing, time for your feeding."
Bees: Though many scientists have privately admitted that a bee extinction could end the world, publicly they all just seem to publish articles about how cute bees are if you imagine them with no stinger and a human smile.

Can a lightning bug survive in a jar if there is also some lettuce in it?
