Normally I don't post Cheaper World on Tuesdays, but I got a tipoff (thank you arsenicjade!) that Groupon has a fundraiser going on today for TechGYRLS, a girls-only science, technology, engineering and math after-school program on Chicago's south side.

Each year TechGYRLS gives about 100 girls ages 9-14 the opportunity to strengthen their science skills through projects and activities that are hands-on, relevant, and challenging. And they're taking donations today! If 51 people donate $10 each, the Groupon will "tip" and TechGYRLS will receive the money (otherwise I think it just gets refunded to the buyers). If you have Groupon credit, you can use that as a donation, which is what I just did.

I know money's tight and this is a very local program, but if you can't give consider passing on a link to this post via your blog or twitter feed. Thanks guys!

We love girls who love robots in A Cheaper World.

I...can't...stop laughing. And perhaps every time I look at number two I will laugh again. *continues snickering in a corner*

NOT INTENDED, but now my day is happier for you having pointed it out! *snickers some more*
