Chairman of the bored.

I often wonder who you were, the person who invented the chair. I tried googling you, but it just comes up with a million people who you might have been. But, then again, how would you even know you were the one who 'invented' the chair, and how could you ever claim it? If some cave person sat on a rock back in the days before anything happened-which is also after everything happened (of course)- could they have claimed to have invented a chair? Or is a rock not a chair? What is a chair? does it have to have four legs? Because then you'd have to discount all those new curvy ones that are really 'modern' and just look like bits of plasticine that have melted in an odd way. In theory, you could just sit on anything and that would automatically classify it as a chair. Except for the ground, perhaps. Perhaps. How high does it have to be off the ground? You could sit on a little raised platform, but then that might be taking it a bit far.

Imagine if chairs never even existed. That would be weird. If something, one day, just stopped existing. Is that possible? I know it must happen for some things, to stop existing. But something as significant as a chair? What if somehow, every memory you've ever had that includes a chair, would be completely wiped from your brain. Every conversation you've had sitting in one, all your school work, everything at the dentist, anyone who has been hurt by a chair. Would that mean that anyne who has been killed by a chair (there must be someone) would be alive again, and that anything that you saw from a chair was gone. Oh gosh. The electric chair. Maybe that would be bad.

Anyway, here are some pretty cool chairs I have included for your viewing pleasure...





Yours Sincerely, Charlotte. :)

P.S. I just realised that I was sitting up late, avoiding going to bed, by blogging...about chairs. Chairs, really? Really.
