The Debunker: Did King Midas Turn His Daughter into Gold?

Ken Jennings, of Jeopardy! fame, was a trivia-obsessed ten-year-old, and now he’s raising a few quiz kids of his own. This month he launches a new series of amazing-facts books for kids, The Junior Genius Guides. Since the first two books in the series introduce young readers to Maps and Geography and Greek Mythology, respectively, we’ve asked him to set us straight this month and debunk some popular misconceptions about classical mythology, which has always been all Greek to us. Myths about myths?! May Zeus have mercy on our souls.

Dyson DC24 All-Floors Vacuum - Purple

That Sucks

This is why we can't work ahead 

[Editor's note: The following product description, "Nothing Sucks More Than A Dyson!" was written prior to Sunday's game, and is unfortunately no longer valid. We apologize to our dedicated readership, which depends on Woot for reliable, truthful information. Unfortunately, the suckiness of one of the teams in said game exceeded anything we could have predicted. The error is regretted.]

Nothing sucks more than a Dyson! And this DC24 standup vac has 115 airwatts of constant suction power -- so it will suck more than anything you can imagine. Even the suckiest performances in human history don't match the sucking power of a Dyson!
