Reinventing the Wheel
No flats. Ever. No tubes. No valves. No air! At the Autoshow last month, Michelin introduced the "Tweel", initially intended for Dean Kamen's iBOT systems (and a new Segway prototype which he is also the inventor of), but demonstrated this new technology on an Audi A4 as well.
"The heart of Tweel innovation is its deceptively simple looking hub and spoke design that replaces the need for air pressure while delivering performance previously only available from pneumatic tires. The flexible spokes are fused with a flexible wheel that deforms to absorb shock and rebound with unimaginable ease. Without the air needed by conventional tires, Tweel still delivers pneumatic-like performance in weight-carrying capacity, ride comfort, and the ability to "envelope" road hazards."
This could literally revolutionize all wheeled transportation for the 21st century. To read more about this technolgy just click on the headline.

A blind baby rabbit and a blind baby snake come across each other in the forest. "What are you?" they asked each other but neither knew because they were blind. So they decided to check each other out. The blind baby snake checked out the blind baby rabbit first. "Well, you are soft and fuzzy and have two long ears.... You must be a rabbit!" Then the blind baby rabbit said, "You are slimy with two beady little eyes and a tongue that moves 1,000 miles per minute....." "Oh crap!" The baby snake said, interrupting. "I must be a lawyer!"
My mom is a lawyer. So I hate you all.
Sounds like you have issues there, Asian. Sorry to hear about that. Perhaps a professional could help you work that out. Cheers!
