    Witness an average man, flesh skewered deeply and imbedded with shark
    fishing hooks! Marvel as a mere mortal fueled only by free will...
    Ferociosly Pulls, twists, and stretches hooked apendages to transform
    the pastey dermal landscape of his own hide and finally ascend to new
    heights, literally!" This is NO ILLUSION! What you will see is real...
    and remember ladies and gentlemen all this done without the assistance
    of his unicycle.

  4. That's pretty sweet. I found the link at the bottom a little more
    satisfying. They have a video there of a kid riding it around school it
    looks like.

    He means it doesn't have an auto-hop feature.

  6. The guy's wicked smart... he built his own Segway for about half of what
    they sell for... it was posted on slashdot.org a few months ago 🙂

  8. It doesn't seem to go very fast. Maybe that's due to the rider not
    having good balance or maybe it's intentionally speed limited. Seems
    like it should be able to go faster.

    I do hope that he shows up at a convention with his Eunicycle. When we
    have another convention in or near California make sure he gets an
    invite.

    He's making a joke about segway. The segway is kinda heavy to carry up
    steps which you had to do if you wanted them up some steps. The new ones
    though you can now walk next to as they ride up the steps.

  10. just showcased: a 'wooden segway'
    (http://www.engadget.com/entry/4575048736193461/). Looks nice!
    What's next, a wooden eunicycle?

  11. Another newsflash about segway:
    It 'may require drivers licenses in Massachusetts '
    (http://www.engadget.com/entry/1882334811155322/).
