“Anyone can use it!”

Yes, that’s Dubya. Yes, that’s a “Segway”:http://www.segway.com/. Yes, he “fell off”:http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/030612/170/4dnhg.html. I really can’t add any more than that.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!

Somehow, I don’t know how, — perhaps I’ve watched too many movies, have an overactive imagination, whatever — I just know that this can’t end well.
