Finding out names for stuff
Okay, so I have this chair, its really cool, it sits on the ground and rocks back and forth, becuase it has a rounded bottom. My parents bought it when they lived in calafornia. They always called it the Bionic Chair. Its really comfortable, because you can balance, at any point, or lie on your back. Google searchs yeild nothing that is the chair for "bionic chair', 'floor rocking chair' 'balance chair' Does anyone know what its called, or where I can get another???
Also, in Poland they sell these small, plastic gizmos with a small metal thing in the inside. You put it in your mouth, and make really cool noises with it. They're sold everywhere on the streets, everyone had them. Its a highpitch buzzing noise, that you can control, so that its really variable, and you can mimick emotions really well. We called them Meepers, but thats not really what the are called, does anyone know what they are actually called, or do i need to go back to poland to buy some?
Feel free to add your own unfindable, un-nameable objects to the list. . .
Thanks to anyone who can solve these two.

For the first one I would have the shocking suggestion you ring the shop where your parents bought the chair, describe to them what it looks like and they're bound to know what it's called, who makes it and whether you can get another. If they're still being made they could give you the name of the distributor and he could tell you what the nearest sales channel is for the chair.
For the second one I would suggest icq ing someone in Poland.
But your right, I should go talk to some Poles.
If your a chair freak, you would probably love this thing, its so cool

NOW we're talking! Those two were unbelievably talented. Last year a client gave me 2 Eames molded plywood chairs for Christmas. I think I might have cried.

did you ever find any info?
d did you ever find any info?
Thread's six and a half years old, OP hasn't posted anything for five.
This is a dead parrot.
I was just searching for this same thing as I see on a 10 year old thread. I have a bionic chair that I purchased in the late 1970s or early 1980s. Most people think it is a van seat but it is rounded and very comfortable for the low back. It can balance on a fulcrum. It came in many colors and had another piece that helped support the neck. The trade name WAS bionic chair at the time but I can't find any sign of them having existed! The cushion that slipped over the top for the neck may have had some identifying information so I'll keep looking for that.
I replied somewhere lower down in this thread but just letting you know that I have this chair - and love it!
