North Dumpling Island
North Dumpling Island is a small piece of land just off the
coast of Connecticut and the private residence of Dean Kamen,
inventor of the Segway Personal Transporter.

Like any good inventor it seems Kamen is a wee bit eccentric,
having declared the island to be an independent state with its own
currency (in increments of Pi) and its own navy,
consisting solely of the
amphibious vehicle we can see parked beside the north-east
building.
Although his independence isn’t officially recognised Kamen even
signed a non-aggression pact with then-president George H.W.
Bush.

Kamen has also
erected a replica of Stonehenge
to one corner of his island, where I’m guessing he might drive a
Segway around the stones, naked and chanting.
