Goog is the NYSE code for the google stock.  You can type in stock codes on google to get a quick snapshot of where the stock is at.

Well, Woot has gone pretty far into their sarcastic tool box and pulled out a couple of very funny ads.  Try if for yourself.

Ad 1:

Before you jump out of
that window, why not spend your
last remaining dollars at Woot?

Ad 2:

Losing your house?
Without that mortgage to pay, now
you can buy more of our junk!

Ad 3:

You’re broke.  So what?
You could live without gadgets, but
can you really call that “living”?
