SCOOP OF THE DAY: Brought to you by InsuranceChicken.com

After 20 years of trying to prove itself, Segway is finally calling it quits this July, Fast Company reports. When it launched, the two-wheeled scootin’ device was supposed to disrupt urban transport like the car did horse-drawn buggies. Steve Jobs said it was the biggest product since the PC, but at $5,000, no one bit. Inventor Dean Kamen expected up to 100,000 unit sales its first 13 months, but the Segway only sold about 140,000 in its history. Some cities banned Segways for easily spinning out of control and crashing. Kamen sold Segway in 2009 to investor Jim Heselden, who tragically died months later after driving his Segway off a cliff. It was sold again, then again to Chinese mobility company Ninebot.

Jupiter's red spot is getting taller and smaller at the same time. Jupiter's red spot is almost as well-known as the planet's remarkable rings. But the spot, which is, in fact, a storm, has been shrinking for a century and a half. Although NASA can't predict what will happen to the storm that was "once big enough to swallow three Earths with room to spare," they do know that it "seems to have increased in area at least once along the way, and it's growing taller as it gets smaller."

A Scottish man was taken to court and fined for calling his ex-girlfriend's new Irish boyfriend a “leprechaun” in a threatening email. 41-year-old Terry Myers appeared in Aberdeen Sheriff Court after he sent his ex-partner an email which made reference to the women's new partner being Irish.
