The Debunker: Do Londoners Check the Time on Big Ben?
Put on a purple hat and rent some Corgis: Queen Elizabeth II is turning 87 years old this month! (Actually, the queen celebrates her official public birthday in June, because the weather is likely to be nicer then. That is a true fact. But she was actually born in April.) In honor of Her Majesty, we’ve asked Jeopardy! smart-arse Ken Jennings to spend the month debunking misinformation about the monarchy. Apparently we’ve been royally misled for years.

Music Monday: Rapping Celebs
Happy Music Monday! We hip hip hop and we don't stop! Much like a great many celebrities who recorded rap songs over the years. Thankfully, Scott's found a couple of them who didn't just rip off The Sugar Hill Gang. Not a lot. Just a couple.
David Bowie feat. Mickey Rourke - Shining Star (Makin' My Love)
Bowie's pretty open about being lost in the late 1980s. So, you know… here's proof. Sort of the bookend to "Dancing In The Streets" in a way, you know?
Maybe it gets better. Maybe it gets worse. You won't know unless you dare. See you after the jump!

Now Highering: Woot Copy Editor
Its a sad day hear at Woot. It seems our deer copy editor had some sort of psychotic brake yesterday and won't be returning. We found him sititing behind his desk, mumbling something abou to, two and too ... or maybe tutus, were not really shure. We just held and rocked him for a while, shushed him and said "their they're" until they came and took him away. Its to bad. We really licked that guy. And through hell always be in our hearts, we must move one.
Good knews for you, thought! WHERE HIGHERING!
At first it took us some time to except that we really do need a editor. We consider ourselfs professionals, you no? But we realize we arnt perfect. And as hard ass we try, we make alot of mistakes. Like, a HOLE LOT of mistakes. So we really knead a person with a good "I" for detail and alot of pashunts. pashents patients.
The Debunker: Did Henry VIII Divorce Any of His Wives?

The Debunker: Did Henry VIII Divorce Any of His Wives?
“Divorced, beheaded, died, / Divorced, beheaded, survived.” That’s the mnemonic rhyme we used in school when we were studying the life of Larry King. Oops, that’s wrong. Just dug out my old notes. King Henry VIII of England.
Music Monday: Tools & Gardens
Happy Music Monday! If you didn't notice Woot Tools & Garden turns one today! Scott was feeling lazy thought it would be fun to pick out his favorite tool, garden and automotive songs. He encourages you to do the same to make it look like this was a good idea. HERE'S THE FIRST ONE NOW
A hammer is the tool most people think of first. Queen is the band most people love. They're a natural fit, aren't they? Seems like it to me.
More T&G love coming up inside. See you after the jump!
Breville the Juice Fountain® Multi-Speed
When you Wish Up on A Fruit
I want moar apple juice! Any body got penny?
What are you doing?
"Making juice with my new Multi-Speed Breville the Juice Fountain®. Its simple, really. Alls I need to do is pick out fruit, put it in and juice. The juicer adjusts speeds to maxamize juice and minamize waist. It also has 5 speeds for efficient juice output, and a micromesh filter keeps the fibers out while keeping juice in."
No, I get that, but why are you throwing coins in it.
"Oh! Its a fountain, so Im making a wish of coarse."
It's not a REAL fountain, thought. Its just a juice fountain.
"Hey, you can't argue with results."
What results? What are you wishing four?
"Fresh squeezed juice! And it's come true everytime!"

Happy Birthday, Woot Tools & Garden!
Was it really just one year ago that we here over here announcing that Woot Tools & Garden had bloomed from the harsh cold ground? It's hard to believe, but it's true. Something like 52 Mondays hence, that little site came to life. And now it seems like it's always been here.
Anyway, in honor of this very special day, we're having a little celebration for the next fortnight*. Check out a special soundtrack, or the Woot Tools & Garden main page, or the various Woot Plus sales, or our Facebook, or maybe even our Twitter because in some or all of these places you'll see us giving away our presents to you! Sadly, we can't offer slices of cake. You'll have to buy that somewhere else.
