How embasassing. Mere hours after mocking FoxNews.com, I post a link to FoxNews.com. Whatever; they're part of the rich tapestry of the web. I'm just saying they should embrace it. They're welcome to link to Daily Placebo any time they want. Oh wait, does "By Ben Webster" and this image represent their entire citation information? There isn't even a link to this TimesOnline article from Monday I found through Google. Take a gander at a comparison of articles with Times on the left, Fox on the right. Black text indicates duplication. If a teacher in highschool found something like this my paper would have had a big "see me after class" written at the top.On to the Brits - Segways are now banned in London, unless operated on private property. So no more commuting to work courtesy of the Highway Act of 1835. See, you're not allowed to operate motorized vehicles on paths. But at the same time the Segway doesn't have EU vehicle certification, so you can't drive it on the road. A sneaky work around by regulators, but Segway users have a workaround of their own.
A small but determined group of Segway commuters... insist that they will continue to ride to work, saying they pose less risk to pedestrians than a clumsy jogger.So they're just going to flaunt the rules and continue to ride their dorkmobiles to work? Whew, watch out! Protest on the march in London. Or, protest on the gentle forward lean, at least.

its not as bad as when razor scooters came out and you'd see business men in suits and shit scooting to the office.
