3044...First It Kills Its Master

Then it tries to take out another of its alleged masters.

It is the Segway.

If you recall the inventor of the you're-too-lazy-too-walk machine was killed by his baby earlier this year.

Now this from the Chicago Tribune:

A Segway rider fell into Lake Michigan near the Field Museum this afternoon, but was able to get out of the water on his own.

Chicago police could not say this evening how he ended up in the water, but said the Segway personal scooter eventually was recovered from the lake.

The Chicago police Marine Unit responded to the incident about 4 p.m., but rescue efforts were unnecessary.
