Woot!

It's not just a Teen Girl Squad expression anymore!
I discovered Woot through this Yahoo News article" about the online store (of a sorts).
Excerpt:
Woot — short for "Wow! Loot!" — doesn't tell its shoppers how many watches, laptops or hot-tub phones it has. It just sells what it has in stock, and when the item is gone, sometimes within hours, that's it — there are no rain checks, nothing else to buy. Shoppers have to wait until midnight for the next offering.


In other news, here is a strange story about a municipal official in Phoenix who thought it would be a good idea to surf on top his car while it was moving (and while he was the driver). Sadly, this didn't end well.
PHOENIX (Reuters) - A top municipal official in Phoenix died in a bizarre incident that saw him crawl out of his fast-moving vehicle, stand atop its roof and extend his arms outward before tumbling off, authorities said on Thursday.
