The say the chair-off of 1999 between to two Account Managers was a sight to behold. – Ms. Fix-It
Favorite Comment: Graphite Biri says, “Um, yeah. How exactly does speed of 25 kelvin per hour work? Is it a speed, at which the object gains 25 kelvin every hour due to friction?”

Copy & paste this:


25 Kelvin per hour?
I’m a nerd, but the fact that someone actually thinks people buy office chairs for “bragging rights” is just pathetic.
kilometers…
kilometres…
Kilometres? You are a fool. If it was kilometres per hour, it’d be km/h.
My thoughts exactly, Good Sir! The Kilo in km/h would not even be capitalised.
USians tend to abbreviate kilometers per hour as Kph. It’s not SI standard but it is easier to say than “km/h”. Also, I’ve heard them use this term on Star Trek (apparently, while they don’t use feet, miles and pounds in the future, 300 years will not have been enough time to master the SI system).
“USians” as you call us, would have referred to it as mph. Nice try though.
The “/” means “per”. Literally, if i could see you know I’d kick you in the head to make you “smarter”. But to be honest it would probably work.
I lol’d.
Um, yeah. How exactly does speed of 25 kelvin per hour work? Is it a speed, at which the object gains 25 kelvin every hour due to friction?
i guess he/she made a mistake at typing, maybe it was meant to be km/h
My bowl of liquid nitrogen could do with that. I’m up to my third microwave!
Otherwise OK, but “scooting around at 25 kelvins per hour” just doesn’t make sense. If you are going to go metric, at least get your units straight.
Bragging rights? Cerealsly?
Seriously*
for cereal
I think that should be “two” Account Managers…
It should also probably be “They say” rather than “The say” – but who’s counting.
Good very nice an interesting blog post
You guys so don’t get the bragging rights thing. When everyone else has a sh*tty uncomfortable metal chair from the 80s thats about 20 inches from the ground, the office chair is a glorious spinning throne.
By the way, the OP forgot “spinning”.
So, the primary market share for Office chairs is the chair racing industry. Why do the s**tty ones always make the front page?
The only reason I ever go to Office Depot.
I thought it was potassium per hour.
don’t forget spinning around in them
Everyone who thought km/h is an SI-unit fails. The standard unit of velocity is m/s and multiples by powers of ten thereof. Even continental Europeans use non-SI units such as days, years, hours and minutes.
