has anyone built a zero gravity chair?
elvis.aro...@rocketmail.com
is permanently in zero gravity position. Has anyone done this? DO you know
what the angles are? How can i make a strong frame for the chair without it
weigh a ton.
Can some one please email me some help...

problem. When you throw a cat off a building it always lands on its legs,
however if you drop a peice of buttered bread it always lands buttered side
down. Well to perfect zero gravity, grab a moggie, strap a peice of
buttered bread to its back (buttered side up) and throw it off a building,
if it lands back down, ya put too much butter on the bread, scape some off
and repeat. Finally you will find an equalibrium where the cat and bread
will just hover.
For a chair I suggest 3-4 moggies (type of bread and butter doesn't matter).

To build a zero gravity chair you will have to special order the
wood. It must be a light wood grown directly on the equator.
Woods grown either north or south of the equator used in ZG
chairs tend to make the chair slowly spin in one direction or the
other. Woods from north of the equator tend to spin clockwise,
while woods from south of the equator tend to make a ZG chair
spin counterclockwise. To achieve a strong frame, have your
woods professionally pressure treated with steroids. However,
after being pressure treated, the wood grain tends to raise. You
can compensate for this by applying an ample coat of wood grain
alcohol. Hope this helps.

Actually, in addition to the hovering, it will also spin, as the
buttered-side-down force temporarily out weighs the feline-feet-down
force. Until, of course, just moments later when the feline-feet-down
force overcomes the buttered-side-down force. This intereaction
continues forever, until disturbed.

An interesting side note is that if enough buttered-bread-opposed-
feline units are prepared, and assembled in an array, this array
can run a generator, and supply the energy needs of a small city.
ObWW: If you use three of them and time it corectly, you'll get
three phase power out.

Whenever a UFO is spotted, people report a low humm. This is not in fact a
hum but thousands of moggies purring, which run their interstellar drives.

Caution: Keep the bread far enough away from the frontal opening
of the BBOFU to keep the self-cleaning mechanism from causing
severe gravity feedback, so to speak.

Caveat #2: Time them wrongly and you'll have a Neander push-stick.
P.S: Howz come you didn't carry on the wreck.ww winners' circle
tradition at the meeting last night? Craig and I stole the show
last month with the his Delta Boss and my Marples chisel set.
I'll get a hog of Mahog when I get down to Bill's shop next week.

Tis true...They make good door stops, too, if'n ya fill 'em fulla
buckshot.

It surely wasn't from lack of trying...I had about 9 feet of tix,
or so it seems...heck I didn't even snag the snazzy key ring!

Yeah, I kinda had my eye on the BOSS or the Bosch jigsaw...

Hold your mouth right during the next meeting, eh?
>Yeah, I kinda had my eye on the BOSS or the Bosch jigsaw...
I know it's not in keeping with the spirit of your sig, but the
Home Basted's $39.95 Skil 9.6v drillsky ended up on my Xmas list
this year. I'm tired of hauling out the 'lectric jobber when the
li'l B&D cordless doesn't cut it torquewise. I wish I'd had a
cordless when I put that fence up for Ma 'n Pa. I don't do a whole
lot of work which requires tons of fasteners so I've never bought
one. I'm now finding more and more use, so it's time.

Gotta go to Sandy Eggo on Monday to pick up a notebook 'puter for
repair. I'll swing by Bill Collin's place and see if he'll fill
my entire shortbed F-150 with Basswood, Mahogany, Ebony, and such.
For free, of course. I'm thinkin' like Lee lately. <vbg>

a computer after 18 years of being in the zero gravity chair, it's your
own fault for getting in it in the first place!
You should have eaten the bread.
