The sad thing is that if D ever decided to snatch purses, he'd no doubt be arrested by this wheeled demons of pursuit.

In all serious defense of whoever thought this idea up:

The places they're being put into use, Hartsfield and downtown Atlanta, are traffic nightmares.

They might work, but I doubt they'll work well enough for the city to actually buy a dozen or so.

Grammar r hard.

"A special turbo key can send the Segway zooming off at 15 mph"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WTF hahaha

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

I'm having flashbacks to The Fast and the Furious where everyone had nitros oxide switches.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

If i get chased by the segway police, i'll just go up some stairs.
On a plane ride, the more it shakes,
The more I have to let go.

No no, Delid..

Its a mini computer and gyroscopes in there that sense when you lean forward, making it GO forward. It cant sense side to side since there isnt an axis there (No wheels), so you need a hand control to turn.

You haven't read any press releases about this thing, have you?

That thing climbs stairs. It even has a sticky function to roll right up walls. And if need arises, you can even trigger its PALESTINIAN DEVICE, which will blow up the scooter along with everything in a 100-foot radius!!
