German police have confiscated what may be the world’s fastest office chair. Police say officers happened on the contraption – the work of two inventive 17-year-olds – in the western town of Gross-Zimmern on Saturday. The pair had added a lawnmower engine, bicycle brakes and a metal frame to the revolving chair – making into a go-kart-like vehicle.

    If you were to ask me, I’d say that was no 17-year old driver, and it looks a lot more like a jet or rocket than a lawnmower engine exhaust!

  2. Deanes says:

    Judging by the way the “driver” is dressed, they really need a dose of global warming. Or is this really old news…

    Right! All the employees where I work have Barcaloungers too.
