Now you have all heard that Al Gore invented the Internet but did you know Bush invented the iPod :rofl:

Republicans might be a bit confused on where to stand on this issue, Al Gore is on Apple's board of directors...

Al Gore:
"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system."
(Internet was already created)
[What he meant: I had people who talked to people who suggested legislation to increase funding for internet research and advancement.]

George Bush:
"the government funded research in microdrive storage, electrochemistry and signal compression. They did so for one reason: It turned out that those were the key ingredients for the development of the iPod."
[What he meant: government funded research can help create new and inovative products.]

I wish there were iPod more accessories available.

It would be really cool if there were a belt buckle. Functional, yet fashionable.

iPods are so cool that even when trendy emo haters hate them, and win one, they keep it.

Risse makes an iPod Nano helmet stop for those massive drops that slam your helmet on the bars. You wouldn't want to damage your handlebars :D

My new Camelbak has an iPod icon. That's a huge time saver!

I'll bet that really keeps you hydrated. What will they think of next??? I can see being able to ride to the moon with a Camelbak.

After long rides I soak my feet in the bladder. (One at a time of course) It's great!

That is one of the many I have. I like that one because you can unclip the straps and tuck them into itself, then use the d-rings to attach it to my backpack for hiking.

But it lacks the cool iPod logo.
