Segway humor, of sorts
 
Here's a funny Segway thing I found; it's somewhat of a slam against it, but I thought it was funny nonetheless:

If you've read any other stuff on Maddox's site, you'll know the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Anyways, this particular article isn't too bad, but some of the other stuff on there might be questionable, so keep that in mind if you're browsing around looking at his other stuff.

Even though it's of the sad and depressing sorts.. I too agree it will bring a laugh to your day!;)

I find it really amusing, like all of maddox's stuff.

Actually, a company called the Global Manufacture Group has released a 4 wheel segway. See http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,1433460,00.asp

problem with the 3 and 4 wheel machines is they are not dynamically stable - that is, they are not stable when moving - if you try to stop fast, or take off fast you get to kiss the concrete or smell the asphalt.

the Segway can stop very quickly, keeping machine AND rider balanced at the same time.
