But as I have mentioned previously, I love rain, much more than benches. Rain just sets me in a good mood. But benches and rain don't mix. The water soaks the bench and it just keeps pouring on and then you try to sit down and BAM, soaked butt and clothing.
Also, it's inconvenient at best to dry the bench. Once the rain really starts, any bench is good as gone... except for this bench.

As you can see from the photo, this bench is made of wood and what looks like metal. On the side is a little handle. Turn it, and the wood moves, exposing the dry underside of the bench.
The designer of this bench, from South Korea, is Sung Woo. He has invented several things, including an mp3 player designed for deaf people.
I'm not sure if these benches are in use anywhere, and if they are, where in the world they are used. But they are a simple solution to a common problem, which is all that something needs to be to qualify for a Thingology post. Well, it could be a ridiculously high-tech solution for something that could be simply solved. Or a lot of other things. It just has to fit my standards.
Anyway, these benches are all over the web. Like I frequently say, a quick Google search will likely find results.
That's all for today, thingologists! Have a good day and I'll see you tomorrow!
