I wonder if Segway's stock experienced a large drop today.....

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Now if they could just get his casket to lay down flat...

 

[alkemyst]

I wonder if he thought of his family or the potential damage to the company on the way down...

I keep picturing the Coyote running off a cliff, looking down, holding up a "Yipes!" sign, and then falling.

We need that picture shopped some more then.
Also the Segway needs an "ACME" sticker on it.
