The Chinese Are Trying To Kill Us



Hat tip, With Leather. You are looking (or, well, could be looking) at the latest Yellow Peril: gas-powered roller skates that take the user up to 20 miles per hour. The right boot holds the gas, and weighs about 10 pounds. Oh, and the skates have no brakes, of course.

So... let me get this straight. We're putting an explosive fuel under our feet, not balancing the propulsion against the other foot, and setting it up with kids. This will end well. (On the plus side, the YouTube skate trick immolations should be spectacular.) That sound you just heard was 5,000 lawyers doing a happy dance...
