    Talking Worlds fastest wheelchair has 3 wheels!!!

    I was watching the discovery Channel today and i learned something neat: The Swiss have the worlds fastest wheelchair AND IT HAS 3 WHEELS!!!!

    now let me get this straight...trikes were outlawed to keep people from ending up in wheelchairs right?? (ok, ok, maybe thats not the whole reason...) so if 4 wheels are better, why does the worlds fastest wheelchair (it will do 72 mph btw) only have 3 wheels????

    I literally do stay awake at night and think of all the things I want to do to my trikes. I guess I am the sick one then.

    I wanna jump off a cliff with my hover round Evil Kneivel style and make it out in one piece. Now just how I am going to do this without a net, crane, or some dumb idiot to take my place is still on the drawing board.

    You havent seen the gas powered lazy boy that can cruise down the street? Now thats what I need for the superbowl this weekend! Besides, I like the 'danger' in riding a gas powered tricycle and thats why I dont ride the bayou I have sitting in my back yard (that belongs to someone else) even though I have the key to it. .

    I'm serious about the Evil Kneivel part too. Anyone have any ideas?
