    Default Segway owner dies of apparent Segway related death

    Here is the article.

    http://www.cnn.com/2010/BUSINESS/09/...ex.html?hpt=T2

    The owner of the Segway company has died, apparently in an accident involving one of his upright two-wheeled vehicles, police in England said Monday. The body of James Heselden, 62, was pulled from the River Wharfe in northern England on Sunday, police said.
    A Segway-type vehicle was recovered from the river, police said.
    The incident is not thought to be suspicious, police said.
    I guess some other article is suggesting that he drove off a cliff or something. The headline should have read, "Segway to Heaven."

    It could only be more ironic if he was run over by a segway....

    heard about that, and laughed a bit as well. The only thing greater may have been if he was hit by the Tiny Town train, killed, and that's what caused the tiny derailment

    Breaking News: Retards who drive their Segways over a cliff will now will be referred to in the federal government as "slightly socially depreciated individuals who bravely explored the unknown in bi-wheeled devices".

    In related news, Segway is now considered a negative term by congress, implying that accidental death can occur, now referred to as "improvised powered bicycles". Please reference article titled "Improvised Powered Bicycle company required to disclaim that harm may come to less than ideally intelligent individuals who ride them".
    "...quemadmodum gladius neminem occidit, occidentis telum est." [...a sword never kills anybody; it's a tool in the killer's hand.] -- (Lucius Annaeus) Seneca "the Younger" (ca. 4 BC-65 AD)
