Still the mac daddy...

My first thought was that this was ridiculous, and that Wozniak needs to throw away the Segway and try getting some real exercise.

But after thinking about it for a minute, I realized that "Segway Polo" is no less sedentary than regular polo, which (of course) is played on a horse.  What's more, the barrier to entry is undoubtedly lower - I imagine the $5K you pay for a Segway is a pittance when compared to the cost of buying and maintaining a horse (stable costs, food, veterinary bills, etc.)  If anything, this is polo for the masses.  They just aren't very big masses.  ;-)

So go for it, Woz.  Just lay off the cheeseburgers and take a walk around the block now and then.  It looks like you need it.

P.S.  It's still ridiculous.  But polo on horses is pretty silly too.
