They say there's no such thing as bad publicity. In this case, I'm gonna say they're wrong.
Quote : | "UK businessman Jimi Heselden, the man who believed in the Segway so much that he went ahead and bought the company, has died after reportedly driving a ruggedized version of the scooter off a cliff and into a river. He was found early on Sunday morning in the River Wharfe, having earlier been touring his estate in the personal transporter. The cause of the accident is not yet known. Mr. Heselden was 62 years old and, true to our geeky hearts, generated his fortune by coming up with an innovative design for wire cage walls that has since become standard equipment for NATO, American, and British forces. Our thoughts are with the good gent's family, and please, behave yourselves in comments" |

ive told so many people about mac and me

it sounds like...
a)the new "ruggedized" Segway made a splash b)somebody made the new owner the fall guy c)if wasn't for the river he'd have drove Segway into the ground d)he's up the creek without a paddle... or boat e)he should have listened to Fat Joe and leaned back f)his last segue was into the afterlife g)he was determined to test the waters, but things didn't go swimmingly h)bread wasn't the only thing he cast upon the waters
