Caption:	Welcome to my technology theme park. Are ya up for some doubly-scary rides. I � um � Edison's technology theme park. On this first ride, thrill seekers strap themselves to the latest software upgrades, which the plunge into obsolescence in a jaw-dropping three seconds. The "continual equipment upgrade tilt-a-whirl" spins confused riders around at such a nausea-inducing velocity that all their money flies out of their pockets. The "tech support helpline carousel" keeps them going around and around ... Yawn. Really scary! Or there's the "endless malware tunnel of horrors" ... That's it! Lemme off!

Caption:	Funland Amusement Park. What a wild day! That loop-the-loop really scrambled my signals. My internal gyroscope still hasn't recovered from the tilt-a-whirl. The hall of mirrors blew my optical scanners. And you should have turned off your pneumatic power before you broke the grip machine. Luckily we can come back later and see all the things we missed ... The fortune teller said we won't be obsolete for three more years!
