The Middle Atlantic region has the weirdest names for convenience stores: Sheetz, Wawa ...
Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

There's a restaurant chain in Nebraska called Runza. When I first sawit as we were driving on the highway I told my wife, "I'm feeling pretty constipated. Want to eat at Runza?"

One would hope she Runzaway when you ask questions like that.

Bizarre, but it's likely really good exercise. Looks kind of clumsy but maybe it'll catch on. Haven't seen one yet on Manhattan streets.
Segway was/is the stupidest product ever developed. No point to it.

I still want to see a water-based version of the Segway.

Like that, but looking like a Segway.

that Elliptigo looks like a cool idea, way too expensive.

This is truly an example of (pardon the pun) reinventing the wheel. The fact that this thing is being marketed to and by marathon runners would also seem to limit its appeal a John Q. Slob like myself.
