I've been saying this for years ;)
Cross-posted Segway troll post mocked
A cross-posted anti-Segway rant reached the group. Some replied seriously about obesity and legislation, but most recognised it as a random-text troll and responded with jokes, including the 'It's no GPL' meme.

If you want to fight obesity through legislation, why not outlaw couches,
televisions, and computers? How about hot dogs, candy, pizza, and super-sized
fast food meals? Do you honestly believe that a gravitationally challenged
individual will gain weight by leaving the Lazy-Boy and taking the Segway to
McDonalds instead of their car? Personally, I'd rather see them go on the
Segway. Less pollution, traffic, and parking problems.

Maybe bicycles should be outlawed too then, or removed from the sidewalks.
We're all soooo familiar with what a nuisance those things are, aren't we?
Roller blades too. And skateboards. Heck, why stop there? Should we make it
illegal for kids to ride big wheels on public property too? What about cars?
Oh, they're fine I guess they're relatively efficient and pollution free
compared to Segways ;-)
Useless? I bet your average 1st or 2nd grader could educate you on how a
Segway might be useful.
Hmm.. You've got me thinking now. Anybody down for a Segway simulator ? :-P
Ash, what do you say? Let's team up and make it ;-)

to discredit the supposed poster as an act of childish revenge. What I'm
wondering about is why the heck we are always privvy to the fall-out of
flames on other groups like this.

"Transpiration device"?!
Which definition are we looking at here under the word
"Transpire"...........?
1. A device for making things occur, happen or take place?
2. A device used for the giving-off of waste matter?
3. A device which allows odour and secretions to escape through the pores of
the skin?
4. A device which allows knowledge and information to escape from secrecy or
which aids in the leaking of confidential information?
Fascinating! And I always thought that the Skegway was a form of personal,
solo, transport.

Turn that thing horizontally, add 2 more wheels,

Any bets how long it takes until the Segway will require a licence tag, and
taxes must be paid if you want to use it on public streets? And of course a
special drivers licence, there's a lot of money to be made by the
governments worldwide with this new vehicle :)

A definite "no" on banning computers... those long league races
in "pro" mode got me out jogging through the woods again to
improve my stamina ;-)

No, it won't go that far. First will come the lawsuit to make the
smegway handicapped friendly. After they can't get it to work for a
quadriplegic it will be taken off the market and a class action lawsuit
will bankrupt the company. It won't last long enough to be taxed by the
government.
