Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just got busted on not scrolling all the way down on an email. It totally had the information I was looking for.

Oops.

I, uh, got distracted by the embedded graphic?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Is The Segway Safe To Ride?

I do love the delicious Pythoniness of the whole story, but really - I heard about five times that the owner of Segway died in a Segway accident, har har, before I saw a story that included the all-important "ride OFF A CLIFF AND INTO A RIVER" details. I'm not sure it's the vehicle that's really the problem in this case!

There was a GIANT praying mantis on my window the other day. Nearly as long as my forearm.

I bet she was looking for Xander Harris.

I am left wondering how you don't get off the Segway before it goes over the cliff, though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

At 62, his reflexes and eyesight may not have been at their best.

I wonder what buying some praying mantis for my yard would do. I wonder if they are effective in controlling grasshoppers, ants, flies, or mosquitos.

Erin - you said you had time for research? I may have some insurance stuff later if you really have time.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

The edge might have crumbled off, too.

I'm just running the numbers in my head, but if your reflexes don't get you off the 12 mph vehicle in time, or your eyesight doesn't see the cliff, you shouldn't be operating the machinery.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Perhaps he was being chased by Wile E. Coyote. Or maybe velociraptors on hoverboards.

Is there a safety strap? Perhaps he couldn't unhook that?

ION - I just went to get something out of a bottom kitchen cabinet and fell over. My legs are some done. no more yardwork for me today.
