Bombardier's Embrio: Sexier Segway?
Ridgelift writes "Articles at Wired News, Popular Science, and Forbes are covering Bombardier's Embrio. It's a single-wheeled, hydrogen fuel cell-powered, gyroscopically balanced concept vehicle. While the Segway tops out at 6 mph, the Embrio 'hits 35 mph in the learning mode alone.' Very cool -- looks like something straight out of 'Minority Report.'"
Yeah, Embryos don't create themselves.

This is just the perfect thing for everyone who already has a motorcycle, and has been routinely frustrated with their inability to donate organs.
Because those segways were selling like hotcakes we thought we'd get in the market too.
Just ask Dubbya.
This just in, thousands of anti-abortionists are protesting outside of Bombardier headquarters, claiming that the Embrio was meant to stay in the womb.

But this statement fails to mention the main objective of the Embrio's "learning mode": To instill in the trainee using adverse experience why it's a bad idea to exceed the maximum recommended operational speed of 6 mph.
For now though, this Embrio is still in utero-no working model yet exists.

Stop worrying about the risks of nuclear power and start worrying about the risks of not using nuclear power.
Whew, I just thought it was the alcohol...

I think that that's what was really keeping the Segways from taking off. =)

Is it really that hard to do?
That would take precious seconds out of their frantic schedule. You know how much work goes into posting a paragraph-length passage that someone else wrote every few hours? I mean, where would they find the time for even those few seconds?
Ah. Sane. Which part of the world, outside the U.S., do you consider "sane"? Even a basic sanity check would eliminate most of the Middle East, for starters. Hell, at least we have the good sense to only bomb other people, not ourselves! The majority of the rest of the world chooses to live in misery and abject poverty and continues to murder themselves by the hundreds of thousands every day and you call us insane? But no matter: I hear your brand of sour grapes all the time here on Slashdot. Too bad your country didn't invent the SUV first, then we could complain about you.
You must be French.
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
it could reduce congestion and pollution caused by cars. That's almost utopian.
Anybody who rides a motorcycle such as this EMBRIO has to breathe the exhaust of the Ford Compensator in front of him.
Yes, but give it to a bunch of rednecks and you've got a whole new dimension on ways for them to kill themselves.
I tried every decent and legal way I could think of to resolve the issue w/the business before I rented the chicken suit
