    Someone call that guy that posts in every segway discussion so he can clarify how great the segway is.

      Hey - don't diss the segway. It is sooo much easier to segway joust than it is to bicycle joust. Not to mention that it is easier to sue DEKA/Segway for liability when you manage to impale yourself.

      Don't laugh, I work with the guy. His wife agreed to let him get the Segway he wanted in exchange for his letting her get the boobjob she wanted.

      And while he's out riding his Segway, the pool boy is riding his wife.

    The MegWay can only carry one person at a time, and so can their website.

    I have a Vegway - it looks like a giant piece of brocolli - but you don't hear me shouting about it...

    If Megway has a sister, does the brand name change?

    And can we order hotter models?

    Wow, loosen up a little. There are only so many SCO and RIAA stories that one can take before needing a little break.

    I find it amusing that one has to check the personals nowadays to find something to ride ;)

    While waiting for the Megway web site to materialize, I realized the undoubted imminence of these further Segway competitors:

    The one with a breathalyzer: Kegway
    The overpriced one: Begway
    The one that always craps out: Legway
    The official one: Regway
    The souped-up red one: Nutmegway
