Learning to Fly - Position 9: The Comfy Chair

Being a series of vignettes aimed at educating the super-powered reader about the various possible permutations of the flight posture.For the hero (or villain) with a more, shall we say, relaxed lifestyle, or perhaps a bad back, there's The Comfy Chair. It will allow you to fly the friendly skies in the comfort of your favorite chair. Hopefully, that chair is self-propelled, but you may also move your Lazyboy telekinetically, or if you're a flyer, grip the armrests real hard while you do your thing (that last one kind of defeats the purpose though). Other advantages to this mode of flight include handy chair accessories like communications, hidden storage compartments and a recliner footrest. You may want to install some kind of skylight to fly your magic couch out of the living room to go fight crime (don't forget to press pause on your DVD player first).

Sitting in flight is man's natural position (you've been on an airplane, right?), much more so than the Lotus position, which is murder on the joints. Plus, I just know you're not that flexible.

And one thing about that chair, it's very handy for hiding behind during Doctor Who.

Very hard to catch sight of a Dalek behind that thing.
