What’s a Segway?

I see on Steve Wozniak’s site that there are a few quick-time movies of him riding a Segway.  It looks like a lawn-mower. Is it some abstract joke or is he really showing off  a lawn-mower scooter combo?

Poor pigeons

Does anybody else think that killing off birds because of “bird flu” is going to be the next supposedly environmentally friendly thing to happen?

The fact that we only have so many pigeons in the cities because we needed them to carry messages doesn’t seem to make any difference. They are supposed to be disease-ridden and, therefore, the enemy.

Agencies that are supposed to protect the environment will have reasons that seem good to them to “cull” – kill off – even more of the few wild creatures that still share our environment.  What an incredibly dumb species we are.
