Not unless the chair's small enough to hurl as well.  ;)

I've just reverted back 40 years and started reading the John Carter of Mars series by E R Burroughs inspired by watching the film on TV over Christmas. I got the first 5 books for 79p for my Kindle. This is the first bit of sci-fi I have read in years but now have some 18mm figures of little green and red martians hopefully on their way!

As you read the books you realise all the animals on Barsoom are carnivorous. Makes you wonder what the smaller ones ate....
