Groupon

Everyday I receive in my email inbox what is called a 'Groupon'. It's a huge coupon for fun things to do around Chicago. You pay $20, you get $50 at a restaurant. You pay $50, you get a dental appointment and X-rays worth $150. Enough people sign up and you get the discount of the day!

Usually they are restaurants or events, but today's was BEYOND anything I could have imagined. Check it out:

The creepiest part about it: 'Animal Testing and Criminal Background Checks are waived...you'll be inventing new drugs just to find a way to use up all those monkeys!'

"Hi, I'm Greg and basically I just want to rent you a monkey."

Super.

sidenote: those are my fav group of students. Between them and my professors I almost decided to stay another year, then I remembered that I have been live in a flat brown landscape most of my life and came abroad to get away from that, so I asked for a location in the green north next year...but I will miss the lil'uns.
