The photograph makes it look like it was invented in the 1930's. And the inventor has an unfortunate yet promising last name.

@MasterYong: No. You're thinking of the chair with two little legs on the back to keep you from falling backwards.

Well- I scanned for the comment I came here to read and didn't see it...

Wasn't this already invented by Thomas Edison, then rediscovered by a suburbanite with below-average intelligence, then destroyed with an automatic hammer???

...just sayin's'all...

While you were sitting you could have a nice salad, and why waste those old rubber gloves you used to clean your bathroom?

It would be cool to have one that weighed like 100lbs. That way you could struggle with it for like 50', then you would have to sit down on it, then get up and continue. Think of the kilocalories!

@shamoononon: I feel the same, but it would be cool to have a chair instead of concrete.

Oh, and thanks for being the one person to let me know what that thing is.

@GOKOR: Well, I never had a problem with standing is all I'm trying to say. If I'm tired enough, my butt isn't so special that I can't stand on the ground. Sorry.

@red: I'm a music geek, sorry I don't know what an AT ST is.

@animemecha: True, your back actually has much less stress standing, than sitting, but sitting is so much more comfortable than standing.

@shamoononon: You don't get fatter just by sitting. You get fatter by sitting around all day doing nothing. This device is so you're not forced to stand due to no other available option.

This is actually the basis for a bunch of magic tricks...
Anything where you see someone balance/hover or sit/lie at an unbelievable angle is based on a version of this thing, but under the pants.

So...when this guy invented this device, was he not aware that dairy farmers have been wearing single-leg milking stools on their butts for ages?

@GOKOR:
Geek cred revoked.

I wonder if it would count as patent infringement to extend this to a whole line of wearable sofas for accommodating friends, wearable beds for shut eye anywhere anytime, wearable cars for transportation on the go, wearable houses for portable shelter, wearable neonatal intensive care units for carting around premature babies, wearable large acreage irrigation pumps for offsite farming, wearable reusable launch systems for propelling space shuttles into low Earth orbit, wearable neutrino capture facilities for gaging local particle bombardment, wearable Easy Bake ovens for whipping up a quick and delicious afternoon snack... the possibilities are endless!!! Hard to believe this one got buried in patent purgatory.
