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: for $135, you get a tandem hang-gliding instructional flight from Thermalriders in Luling (a $225 value).

During instructional flights with Thermalriders, certified hang-gliding instructors soar in tandem with beginning flyers approximately 2,500 feet in the sky. Gliding gurus initiate students into the sport with 15 minutes of ground instruction that includes an explanation of towing, landing technique, and rigorous arm-flapping exercises. Afterward, a Dragonfly tow plane escorts the tandem glider up to an optimal altitude from which air-sailors float for up to 20 minutes. Once grounded, pilots may purchase footage of their flight at a 15% discount (a $75 regular value). Thermalriders soars skyward Thursday–Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., weather and prophesy permitting.

Groupon Says

The Groupon Guide to: Safeguarding Your Computer

It's a world wild web out there, full of viruses, trojan horses, and cyber mummies. Consult this guide to keeping your computer squeaky clean:

  • A thumbprint on your monitor might be on the inside of the screen—use a screwdriver to get it out.

  • There are only three safe websites: robinwilliams.net, robinwilliams.org, and will.i.am.

  • Keep your computer "clean" by removing all the swears from your Excel documents and deleting any pictures of people kissing.

  • Look out for Trons!

  • Draw a picture of a scarecrow in MS Paint and set it as your background. It won't stop viruses, but it will kill filthy birds near your computer.

  • Crumbs between keys can become sustenance for viruses to breed. Replace your keyboard every three hours.

  • Cell phones are tiny computers that will fit in your dishwasher. You're welcome.
