For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, which is why every time a human attempts to fly, a bird attempts to drive a stick shift. Engage in one of the primary mandates of physics with today's Groupon.

Iowa Powered Paragliding
Nylon wings spread against the sky in pops of bright color. From the back of a car emerges a tightly folded contraption, which its owner unfurls, then carefully straps to trained shoulders. With the whirr of a motor and a few running bounds, the paraglider launches into the air in a windswept display of human flight. Iowa Powered Paragliding enables in-flight fantasies with an equipment shop and instruction school run by primary instructor Jason Jasnos, who calls upon the 10 years and hundreds of hours of airborne gliding under his belt to share airborne adventuring with students from all walks of life. Flight seekers can learn two launch styles depending on their preferred time commitment, both of which let them float into the sky to feel the wind in their hair, glimpse avian wildlife, and stop being possessed by the Wright brothers' ghosts.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Writing an Urban Legend
Everyone secretly wants to believe in scary stories that might be true. Indulge your friends' gullibility with these tips to crafting the perfect urban legend:
• Make sure the story takes place somewhere nearby, on a similar night—ideally exactly 100 years ago to the night. Or on the devil’s birthday.
• Always include an animal that turns out to be a different animal or an animal where one does not belong—like a dog that is actually a rat, or an alligator in the bathroom of the Museum of Alligator Safety.
• Tweak the details—it's only a few letters’ difference to change "gardener" to "murderer," and only a small white lie to change "was valued by the community" to "possessed double hook hands and a thirst for marrow."
• Always carry "proof"—this can be a monster's tooth carved from soap, a faded newspaper article created in Photoshop, or a scrap of the victim's clothing that is actually just a scrap of clothing you ripped off a terrified hiker you chased through the woods.
