Dean drinks with a purpose

Dean Kamen holds 150 patents. He invented the Segway, oversees a national high school robotics competition. Owns his own island, even, in the Long Island Sound.

So it may seem strange and slightly sad that he found himself drinking his own pee last year in South Carolina.

Hold it: Things aren’t as bleak as they sound….

So begins a December 14, 2005 report in the Newport Daily News.
