Your Periodic Burst of Weirdness (oft-times Friday, but you never know)

Thank God for Paul Riddell, folks. He came through at the last moment (here), pointing out that some engineers have at long last given humanity what it so desperately needs: a butt-kicking chair. Reminds me of the installment of Calvin and Hobbes in which Calvin, bemoaning the lack of business at his sidewalk "Swift Kick In the Pants" stand, says, "Everybody I know needs what I'm selling!"

(And if you're wondering why I'm so thankful to Paul Riddell for posting this, it's because the Weekly Burst was otherwise going to be this awful item I found via MeFi, whereas now I can relegate that one to this parenthetical note with the warning that it's really friggin' gross. Trust me.)
