A $9,500 LOUNGE CHAIR THAT FLOATS ABOVE THE GROUND VIA MAGNETS -- yeah, a maglev chair -- is on display at Britain's gadget show called Stuff Live.

Or imagine instead of a wheelchair for those who can't walk, a chair that floats on air. That would be awesome!!!!; Thursday, October 30, 2008 7:33:00 AM
