Why Segway?
I know there is a vehicle called of the similar name has recently stormed the market and its popularity is growing day after day, but why not name my sport segway? I mean, if the english were aware of an insect called cricket long before the invention of "cricket" as a sport, then what may be the harm? As a matter of fact, why would someone name a sport after a living creature? Funny, isn't it?
