I watched GMA today to see “IT”. I was so amazed at how not impressed I was. I think it would have been hilarious to see the GMA anchors demonstrate Mr. Garrison’s device from last week’s South Park.

I wished to discuss Segway with my physics teacher today, but he didn’t know what it was. A few people in my class knew of it only because of South Park.

A weird little stand up scooter. Interesting, but world shattering? I dunno.
