Real Life CSI and Real Life Segway

In the past 2 days I've been a witness to two kind of neat occurrences. The first was yesterday when, as I was sitting on the shuttle ready to ride home, I noticed that two police officers were examining a car that was in the lot. The driver was standing off to the side, and the officers were dusting the steering wheel and trunk for fingerprints. There was no cool flashlight-y thing that showed the presence of organic stains, there was no quipping going on between the two policemen, and there was no healthy mix of ethnicities and genders, but it was still pretty sweet.

Not nearly as sweet as today, however, when in between failing my two exams Lucas and I were walking down the hall on Bryan 5 when what should come from around the corner but a random old man riding a Segway. He zipped into the CS office and chatted for a minute (making sure to duck as he went through the doorway) and then zipped into the bathroom, all with the amazing power of gyroscopes and leaning. This man was truly a Master of Science.
