If you don't like it you can always sit on it and rotate :P

Too high maintenance having to oil the multiple wheels on top of the usual house cleaning but very unique and interesting.

Gee, I wish this was new. A guy in Victoria BC built one of these in the 50s, just outside the control of the Ruling Idiot Class (inspectors). As far as I know, it is still in existence. The guy ("Barney" Oldfield: every guy whose last name born after 1925 or so was nicknamed "Barney") also built a teardrop car using a Ford V8; good for well over 100mph. Innovative guy, died too early from bone cancer in the 60s or 70s. Great guy, would stop what he was doing to talk to any kid showing interest.
His place faced the sun at all times, motor was on a 24 hr clock. It was built and controlled long, long before computers... |

I would like rotating units in an apartment building. So when my idiot neighbor cranks up the gay disco music at 2:00 a.m., I can just press a button and b am, I'm on the other side of the building, pronto! ;)
