Einstein famously said that imagination is more important than knowledge, which is why he also famously referred to the moon as "the night sun." Train your brain with this Groupon.

$95 for a One-Month Workshop Membership and One JumpStart Class ($250 Value)

One-month memberships (a $175 value) help inventors and tinkerers innovate away the hours with unlimited access to all of TechShop’s machines, tools, software, and professional equipment. Groupon holders can also take a JumpStart class to acquire skills ranging from Adobe Illustrator and etching to soldering and welding (a $75 value).

TechShop

Recently profiled by The Atlantic for its members' innovative inventions, TechShop’s supportive community of inventors, artists, technicians, and alchemists share their excitement about the next big idea in an environment limited only by their collective imagination. The 17,000-square-foot smorgasbord of inventive creativity beckons people of all skill levels to its DIY confines, where members can wield tools not found in most private workshops, slicing through steel with a plasma cutter or accessing 3-D design software to finally realize the goal of crawling inside the Internet. Hands-on classes jump-start creative juices, introducing students to vocational skills including welding, soldering, and woodworking. Neophyte inventors aged 12–17 are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to ensure they don't break physics.

The Groupon Guide to: Rhyming Sayings about Musical Genres

Everyone knows Duke Ellington’s famous lyrical throwing down of the gauntlet: “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.” But what most people don’t know is that every genre of music has since answered Mr. Ellington’s assertion. Here are their rhymes:

  • “If the music’s not punk, it’s stupid boring junk."
  • “If it ain’t rock ‘n’ roll, throw it in toilet bowl."
  • “Music not classical is certainly crass, not droll."
  • “If it ain’t Afro-Caribbean jazz, don’t expect razzmatazz."
  • “If it isn’t dubstep, * the sound of computers from the '80s falling down some stairs onto many scared dogs *."
  • “If it ain’t post-industrial Nordic death metal, it is a baby’s sadness."(translated from Norwegian)

In Norwegian proverbs, most things are compared to a baby’s sadness.
