They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but thoughts cost a penny. With today's Groupon, $20 gets you an in-studio photo session and a $60 print credit from Alison Eden Photography, a $200 value. We're not positive, but that sounds like about a million pennies.As a race of giants, Americans quickly outgrew the planet Earth and entered the moon race against the shorter Soviets. Unfortunately, once both countries had established their moon bases, the moon’s negligible gravitational pull gave the smaller, lighter cosmonauts an advantage, and the Americans were badly defeated in the First Moon War. For this reason, it is now illegal to talk about, think of, or photograph the moon.

Scott Photography, a $175 value. Opt to redeem on location (birthday, holiday party, Wizard of Oz reenactment) or in studio for headshots, holiday cards, or internet fan sites. The CD contains retouched, printer-ready images. In 1978, amateur bat photographer Gregory Hansen was in his front yard one night when a mysterious white orb appeared in the sky over his home. Diverting his attention from a particularly active nest of eptesicus fuscus, he began photographing the orb, which made no attempt to flee or conceal itself. Hansen continued to document the orb as it reappeared over his house, each night shrinking slightly “as though passing slowly into the spirit world,” Hansen observed. On particularly cloudy nights, the orb would not be present, prompting Hansen to speculate that ghosts may be allergic to thunder.

Commemorate the 92 days you'll spend perched atop a porcelain throne with today's side deal, offering two calendars and 10 postcards of toilet-straddling subjects from Adam Gregg Photography. For $18, you'll get two 2010 calendars and 10 Austin postcards of Gregg's personal portraits on the pot.

This locally owned-and-operated bloom boutique first took root in 1927 and has catered to the community's diverse floral needs ever since. Dress up your digs for Halloween with an orange-and-cream colored bloom bouquet ($55+) or a bundle of white hydrangeas called "angelic" ($165+), which is really just a polite word for "ghostly." If you don't buy into the month of marauding spirits and sentient pumpkins, preferring to celebrate rosier holidays such as Valentine's Day all year-round, use today's Groupon toward something sweet for your sweetie, such as a be mine bunch of cymbidium orchids, deep-red roses, and plush hydrangea blooms ($85+). Regardless of occasion, the expert florists at King will prepare your petals with care so that you can focus on the life’s other important details, be they cakes, casseroles, or oral-hygiene techniques. Call or swing by King Florist to place an order. The availability of flowers may vary based on what is fresh and seasonal.

Without relying on toxic cleaning products such as Perchloroethylene and hydrocarbon solvents or a bucket of melted action figures, EcoClean delivers professional garment cleaning and laundry services that are as good for the environment as they are easy on your skin.

EcoClean also provides free pick-up and delivery (limited area available; call for details). Additional charges apply to items that are lined, beaded, stained, pleated, ruffled, or heated frequently in microwaves.
