there's something about segways

i find inherently funny. (maybe it's the price? which is preposterous.) i saw my first one in melbourne last february. it had an indian on it. that made it even funnier. anyway now i see new york's police come armed and segwayed. the "simpsons" writers find them funny too. i recall kent brockman reading a news item: "…bringing this year's segway fatalities up to 1,000". i think new york's criminals are probably laughing too. look out! here comes segway squad.
