not new, AOL's ginger poll....
quote:What will the 'Segway' change the most?
__ The world of personal transportation
__ The convenience of getting around cities
__ The wallets of fools and eccentrics
__ The sidewalk-crack to spilled-groceries ratio


What is the biggest design flaw of the 'Segway'?
__ No place to hang clever bumper sticker
__ No spokes to clip baseball cards to
__ Slowdown in carbon dioxide emissions will ensure colder winters in the future


What should they make with gyros next?
__ Balancebread -- always lands butter-side up!
__ Hover Covers -- prevent dangerous top-bunk-bed falls (and so cozy too!)
__ Gyro Gyros -- the perfectly balanced meal, wrapped in a tasty pita
I think AOL has their way of viewing the Segway-HT. This is a poll you would find by typing 'segway' in their AOL KEYWORD search. Just thought you guys would be interested in it.

It was a tongue in cheek poll...

Not very scientific, like almost all AOL polls... They're for entertainment purposes. Keeps AOL'ers busy while they wait for another thrilling "You've Got Mail" system message!

Yes, I'm an AOL'er :P

Mind you, that these "AOL fools" are what the Segway is marketed to... Their opinions count every bit as yours does.

This community is the "eccentric fools" they are referring to...

And mind YOU - I didn't refer to us as "fools" so I take offense to that!!! :P Who are you quoting??
