Build Your Own Monowheel

glengineer writes "Just when you thought it was safe to buy a Segway, Popular Sci has an article on the Monster Monowheel, an 1,100 pound single wheel 'scooter'. From the article: '...works on the hamster-in-a-wheel principle: Move a wheel's center of gravity forward and the wheel turns.' It has an 80cc four-stroke Honda scooter engine and 80 pounds of lead for ballast. Scary part: the driver's seat is in the very front, and the seat scrapes the ground when braking really hard." The builder's website is theriotwheel.com.

    Dear Segway,
    I am a homosexual. I bought a Segway because of its well-earned reputation for being
    "the" gay mode of transportation. Since I have become a Segway owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world
    of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and travel with other homos such as myself. I
    plan on using my new Segway as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the
    homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more scooters which would appeal
    to young boys. Thanks in advance.

    With much gayness,

    Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.
