Also the Segway needs an "ACME" sticker on it.

You guys are sick and confusing...I get ripped for posting a prank about a garbage can full of water and your making jokes about someone going over a cliff.

Welcome to the internet; where H = i((W * C)/a - P).

H = Humor
W = Wealth of victim
C = Celebrity of victim
P = Popularity of victim
a = wealth similarity coefficient (relative to observer)
i = Irony coefficient

So you see, you posted a prank perpetrated on an unknown person who is likely very similar in financial circumstances to many of the audience. Therefore a low W and C with a high 'a' value and a near 0 P and i value = low humor

That is genius. Where did you find that at?

I watched the reference desk for a colleague and went to google news (sfw site), and saw the USA Today headline "Seway inventor drives Segway off cliff," and had to fight from loling in public.

They've since changed the headline, slightly: http://content.usatoday.com/communi...y-company-owner-dead-drove-segway-off-cliff/1

 

[Pocatello]

Wasn't there a rumor floating around that the seqway was an anti-gravity device, like a hovercraft, before it was introduced to the public? This thing would change the way we live, someone said.

That would be original content. (Or, at least, independently developed)

Also, H < 0 implies outrage (see crimes against kittens)

Killed by your own product that he thought was awesome but everyone else thought was goofy = ironic

Destruction of property and valdalism = fail

 

[The Boston Dangler]

[brainhulk]

between the shopped picture and this equation, this is the best thread I've seen in a while (and I started it!)

 

[0roo0roo]

Nobody died in my thread unless you consider the amount of trees that it takes to make wood floors, then it's a tree holocaust.
