Aug 7 2008Giant Trackball: Ass-Assisted PC Peripheral
The Backball Chair is actually a giant trackball you can use to control a computer. Designed by Interaction Architecture, it was "specifically intended for use in public spaces like airports." Of course, because that makes perfect sense. Seriously, why use a mouse when you can roll your ass right off a giant trackball. Talk about a time-saver. Seriously though, I liked the idea enough to build one out of my spare testicle. My roommate just finished giving it a whirl, and I'm hoping for some positive feedback. So buddy, what'd you thi....WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE SKID MARKS ON MY TRACKBALL?

Okay, call me naive, but I don't understand how this is supposed to work - is this, like, the ultimate in ass-to-computer communications? A way to surf porn while exercising your glutes? Or did some idiot at the patent office grant yet another asshat thousands of dollars in grant money to develop another useless, pointless product?
