This was on the front page of our paper in NZ. Riding a segway is probably the most reliable way of looking like a dork!

Having said that, my mate crashed a segway quite badly once. Was hilarious

We're all going to die.

Or we're all going to be forced to work for peanuts in large warehouse factories making cheap shoes and t-shirts.

Two families that live on my road have a few of them. Their family is somehow involved with selling them. The newer, offroad ones are pretty cool. I haven't busted my ass.........YET, but I could see it happening. You can also overide the speed limiter and they will go almost 40 mph with different batteries.

Makes me feel glad that I've been sending those fine boys at Blackwater in NC Christmas baskets for the last several years. And that I'm armed as well and have a + size Ninja outfit myself!
