			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These office chairs are crafted from old military aircraft ejector seats &#8211; and they are awesome.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-16062 aligncenter" title="moto_art_f4_ejector_seat" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/moto_art_f4_ejector_seat.jpg" alt="moto art f4 ejector seat" width="600" height="657" /></p>
<p>The guys over at Motoart took this seat from an authentic Vietnam-era F-4 fighter jet, and turned it into a cushy, padded desk chair. The seat has been upgraded with a sturdy aluminum base, durable double-wheel casters and upholstered with clean new fabric. Plus, those armrest look like they could be a little uncomfortable.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-16063 aligncenter" title="ejector_seat_detail" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ejector_seat_detail.jpg" alt="ejector seat detail" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p>Are you a bomber, not a fighter? Do you just need a little extra upper-back support? Then you might like this disproportionately tall B-52 ejector seat instead:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-16064 aligncenter" title="b_52_ejector_chair" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/b_52_ejector_chair.jpg" alt="b 52 ejector chair" width="600" height="1016" /></p>
<p>Of course, the big flaw in the design of these things is the fact that they&#8217;re meant to be desk chairs. Really, why would you need to eject yourself from your own workspace? I&#8217;d much rather have a pair of visitors&#8217; chairs that I could use to eject annoying co-workers from my office. I could use that today &#8211; and yesterday &#8211; and tomorrow.</p>
