Frist Segways past White House
Thirsty for work
As he segues into private life, former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist was seen out in front of the White House Monday on a Segway. Frist, we hear, is filming a new commercial for Coca-Cola. He joins Bob Dole as a former Republican pol turned pitchman after his party's fortunes went south.

Please pardon me but I'm sort of behind the curve on the latest consumer crap on the market up there in 'buy me' land. What exactly is a Segeway? I mean obviously it's something weird with wheels to I assume relieve you of having to walk at all or whatever, but who buys these things? And why? Are they strictly for politicos so they can zoom around the capitol defending the constitution? I'm really stumped here, do I need one? Am I 'out of it' if I don't have one? Are they 'carbon friendly' replacements for cars? WHAT THE FUCK DO PEOPLE NEED WITH THESE THINGS? Maybe it's a military technology that's made it's way into the civilian market to save Christmas? Sort of a poor mans Hummer? Help a poor old expat understand this thing.

They're motorized 2-wheel transportation - faster than walking I guess, and easier, for people who are too lazy to walk. You drive them by leaning forward/back/left/right and they automatically balance themselves with gyros and servo-motors and whatnot and go where you lean. That's the short layman's description from someone who has no interest in ever owning one.
I can't say how practical they are, and I can't imagine they'll ever really take off since they cost a ton and are really pretty dorky. Another toy for rich people. Here's the link.

or for more accurate realistic non-marketing info, there's wikipedia:

Oh yeah, they're supposed to be practically impossible to fall off. Unless you're REALLY frikking retarded, or drunk or something.
