| When the Spanish explorers reintroduced the horse to North America in the 16th century, the indians were at first sight terrified of these huge "four legged creatures with men growing out of their backs". I imagine if you put a typical heavy set american male on one of those, it would look like a guy who grew a wheel out of his butt. |

| WOW...That's pretty cool! A GPS and PC up-link that look and fit like a pair of sunglasses would do it. I wonder how long it would take for those skinny young ladies to get big and fat from lack of walking. Kinda makes me think the cartoon movie, WAL-E is not that far off the mark for our future. Any ways...What will they come up with next? |

| I kept fearing that the dark haired lady was going to get flipped over if her left toe gets snagged in the carpet. |

| Wow! That's a neat concept. A self righting powered unicycle. Wouldn't mind having one of those myself, but I don't think it's on the market and if they do hit the market, they'd probably run $2000 or more. |

| My thought too Dale, I kept waiting for her to get her toe wrapped under the foot rest. Glad she didn't, that would have hurt a bit. |

| Didn't the inventor of the 'Segway' kill himself riding one??? It's an interesting piece of engineering that I hope ends up as a dead end.... |

If it had been a Honda, it might have had a cliff indicator warning system.... |
