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.
Just ask Dubbya.
All I want for Christmas is my Embrio

Urgh. Now there was an image I didn't want

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.
Imaginary vehicles don't have a stopping distance.
Stop worrying about the risks of nuclear power and start worrying about the risks of not using nuclear power.
Very cool -- looks like something straight out of 'South Park'". http://store.wush.net/tmp/entity.gif

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?
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
