Some of you may be wondering about the chairs... I know I am.
Well, in an attempt to show off, when my chair was worn out a few years ago, I went back in time and swapped it for the orriginal chair that was not worn out. The ensuing paradox (with all the ocmplecations of Plato's perfect and imperfect chairs) resulted in there being two chairs in my room, and when you sit on the one in good condiiton, the old one becomes more worn. It's just plain weird.

Hmmm...*begins doodle*
What would happen to the less worn chair if you sit in the old worn chair? Would it be possible for either chair to reach a point of equal condition? Would introducing a stool compound the issue? Would placing a lace arm chair rest cover on the good chair result on less wearing and tearing on the arm chair rest of the not so good one?
*finishes doodle*
Interestingly weird.

I'm not sure what happens when you sit on the one in poor condition, the other one is definately comfyer!
