I've noticed that people/animals with faster metabolisms need to sleep more. I don't know if you've looked into this or not. Although all of my evidence is purely anecdotal, I've found that myself who is rail thin, can eat whatever I want, and am in my mid-twenties - sleeps all the time. I've found the same to be true of other individuals I know who are thin, who I would say has a fast metabolism. Additionally my pet dog, sleeps about 14 hours a day and has a very fast metabolism as well.
Well he is LDS(Mormon) and one of the central tenets of the religion is family. Genuinely loving your family and wanting to spend time with them. He's being honest here, it is a classic answer any self-respecting Latter-Day Saint would give.
I think you just hit the nail on the head as to why Nintendo wouldn't want to immediately do this. Like most other pieces of hardware they probably sell it a razor thin margins, if there is even a margin at all. People would buy the device and not the games. Thrusting them into a market they don't necessarily want to be in.
Well, the presentation and technology are "close enough" IMO. The point was that the original 2-D adventure games didn't have the quality of Disney animated features either. They didn't have to. It still worked. Same is true for 3-D, the presentation isn't as clean as Pixar/Dreamworks obviously(duh) but again it doesn't need to be.
What about Pixar/Dreamworks films then? Shrek and the Toy Stories/Finding Nemos all told endearing humorous stories.

Yeah, though it looks like they're going to make more 3-D adventure games, Sam and Max 2 may not be one of them, from the article:
GS: How is your working relationship with LucasArts today? Is there one?
DC: We have lots of friends over there, but on a business level it's hard to get traction. They are very focused on dealing with what's in front of them. So unfortunately there is none, which is sad because we really love those old licenses, and of course Sam and Max. We do chat with Steve Purcell from time to time.
So wishful thnking if they can iron something out with Lucas Arts, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Although I do hope their company gets off the ground and provides some qualtiy Sam and Max alternatives.
Chalmers: Well, I've got to hand it to you, Seymour: these drab student
coverings have created the perfect distraction-free
environment, thus preparing the children for permanent
positions in tomorrow's mills and processing facilities.
Wrath/Greed: The Skipper, he's both fat and mad all the time so he easily fits into representing both sins.
Gilligan? He's the Devil who is always wearing red, and always finding someway of foiling their attempts to get off the island virtually every single episode.
Futurama was NOT at all wrong when it depicted advertisers beaming their crap into people's brains while they dreamed.
LEELA: Didn't you have ads in the twentieth century?
FRY: Well, sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio... and in magazines... and movies, and at ballgames, and on buses, and milk cartons, and T-shirts, and bananas, and written in the sky. But not in dreams, no sirree.
Nah, I think we already have an idea of what that'd be like(not sure who to credit, had to google around for it):
10. You don't need to see my goddamn indentification, 'cause these
ain't the
motherfuckin' droids you're looking for.
9. Womp rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'll never know, 'cause
even if it did I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker.
8. This is your father's lightsaber. When you absolutely, positively,
have to fill every motherfuckin' stormtrooper in the room . . . accept
no substitutes.
7. If Obi-wan ain't home then I don't know what the fuck we're gonna
do. I ain't got no other connections on Tattooine.
6. Feel the Force, motherfucker.
5. What ain't no planet I've ever heard of! Do they speak Bocce on What?
4. You sending' the Fett? Shit, Hutt, that's all you had to say!
3. Yeah, Chewie got a hair problem. What the brother gonna do? He's a wookie.
2. Does Jabba the Hutt look like a bitch?
1. Hand me my lightsaber . . . it's the one that says, "Bad Mother Fucker."
Actually it's supposed to skew both sides pretty evenly. Supposedly they really stick it to Michael Moore in the film, along with a bunch of other left-leaning celebrities.
I remember the motto of "D.A.R.E. to keep kids kids off drugs." Being changed to "D.A.R.E. to resist drugs and violence." Must have been too easy to fudge it as "Does America Really Expect to keep kids off drugs."
Although it was a bit of a flippant comment on his part. The low mph is put in as a safety measure and can be taken off. Kamen's own personal segway can supposedly go around 40mph or so.

I'm Mormon too, and although I myself don't find it offensive. I do find it is often used in a pejorative manner.
From AICN can be seen here.

Because they have six legs? Am I missing something here?
Yeah I know some geeks that are high on gardening. Heh. Doesn't really involve music coming out of the plant though.
GOTCHA!

Whoops, I meant the Skipper represents both Wrath and Gluttony. Avarice is synonymous with greed. I just kinda paraphrased it without checking.
Greed: Thurston Howell the Third, obviously.
Sloth: Mrs. Howell, rarely saw her lift a finger.
Pride: The Professor, had a bit of a superiority complex with his prized intellect.
Lust: Ginger, duh.
Envy: Maryanne, secretly covets Ginger's beauty/talent.
Wrath/Greed: The Skipper, he's both fat and mad all the time so he easily fits into representing both sins.
Gilligan? He's the Devil who is always wearing red, and always finding someway of foiling their attempts to get off the island virtually every single episode.
