    … Does not compute…

  14. hoser says:

    The instructions are correct, just not intuitive. They go corner to corner,

  15. David says:

    Poor kids!

  16. Daniel says:

    First!

    • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista! says:

      Yes. Yes, you are. You can cross that off today’s to-do list.

      • doremi says:

        He must have a really slow loading browser..

      • Daniel says:

        To-do list

        1. Be the annoying troll and say First! on FB.
        2. Sleep for the rest of the day in my mother’s basement.

        • Dargus says:

          I read this, and I’m reminded that I’ve never been in a house with a basement.

          • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista! says:

            *shows Dargus dimly-lit basement from childhood*

            Let’s go downstairs and play!

            *runs back upstairs, shuts off light*

            Big sister pulled this stunt every damn day on me.
            • Leila – Marius’s Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

              Did not!!! Oh … :oops: , you meant your real sister.

            • Say g'night, Gracie says:

              Most houses in my area have basements. Mine is mainly for storage, but the girls have a playroom in it, which is nice and bright and painted pink. Mainly, though my basement is the kitties’ room.

              • Dargus says:

                Gamers, trolls, nerds, momma boys, etc. from my area often don’t live in mom’s basement. Attics, garages, and childhood rooms? Sure.

                I imagine basements to be cooler than attics.

                Temperature I mean. Not awesomeness.

                An attic lends the air of “Wizard Tower”.

                • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista! says:

                  Yes, it’s a nice place to be in the summertime, notsomuch in the winter.

                  When she wasn’t pulling the above garbage on me ^^^, my sister and I actually had quite a fun time down there. We used to put on our Soccer-Boppers and punch each other senseless.

                  ah --- good times.

                  • Say g'night, Gracie says:

                    When I buy a house (sometime next year) it’ll either have a finished or finishable basement, which will become the entertainment area of the house. TV, video games, and such will be down there. I wish I had it now. Patience has never been my strong suit.
                    *sighs*

                • Say g'night, Gracie says:

                  Well, considering the amount of insulation my attic doesn’t have, right now my attic is cooler (temperature-wise) than my basement. But when summer hits, you’ll be right.

            • Dargus says:

              Great. Now how am I going to put this Lego kit together, if I can’t see the instructions.

              Let’s see… I’ll just line these five pins up with these four holes…

        • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista! says:

          (or donating plasma…)

  17. Ash says:

    Even my 4 year figured out the problem with this picture! Just hilarious.

  18. Junkyard says:

    That’s not Lego, it’s Elasto.

  19. 17R3W says:

    I didn’t know Lieven Vanholme was painting instruction manuals.

    • Leila – Marius’s Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

      It’s a hobby.

      • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista! says:

        Ummmm, sweetie Leila? When did you get that big, red kiss mark on your fleur-de-lis?

        • Leila – Marius’s Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

          It’s for Valentines Day. You likey? :mrgreen:

          • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista! says:

            *nods vigorously*

            Yes. Very much. I might have to look into something festive for that Hallmark™ Holiday…

            • Leila – Marius’s Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

              I threaten my hubby that it is grounds for divorce if he gets me anything.

              • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista! says:

                We don’t celebrate it, either. We just try to be nice to each other and surprise each other all the time.

                • Leila – Marius’s Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

                  He buys me flowers all the time anyway. :)

                  I will try your approach and be nice to him. Kidding! He is so sweet I can’t be mean.

                  • 17R3W says:

                    My girlfriend isn’t impressed buy flowers, but she loves when I buy her old Nintendo/Sega games.

                    So those are my flowers to her…

  20. Somebody says:

    Failblog Fail.
    Perspective Win.

  21. Leila – Marius’s Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

    Where is k@? Happy pre-birthday to you. I may not be here tomorrow or Saturday. :mrgreen:

  22. Lerriano says:

    I miss the “M. C. Escher days” at lego…

    His architectural instructions are the best

  23. da Force says:

    Well, to the credit of the instructions (which I have), there’s a left side and a right side. The picture you see is the left side. The right side shows the same part snapped down, and in correct position, so I’m assuming that a kid could figure it out from looking at the directions. Far be it from me to assume a kid *might* be able to figure out the directions.

    LEGO set 8038 (Endor Base), book 2, page 41. It was one of the hot sets this year.

  24. Shellfish Sherry says:

    Does anyone know what set this is from?

  25. Leila – Marius’s Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

    You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.

    GAH!
    YES MOM!!!! :roll:

  26. Babel says:

    it fits! you have to try it ;)

  27. DataCable says:

    Isometric projection interpretation fail. The fact that the arrows apparently point to studs is coincidental. The arrows originate (roughly) at the corners of the 3-stud brick, which, by definition, must be a length of 4 studs. (stud pitch * 3 + 0.5 stud pitch on each end.)

    • UndeadKairbare says:

      Hey ocd!! What he(DataCable) said!!!!!!!!

      >,< Pickachu-Mofo

    • Avatarless Lurker says:

      That’s Elementary.

    • Admiral Apparent says:

      The fact that the arrows apparently point to studs is coincidental. comical.

      Fixed that for ya.

    • A.R. says:

      Agreed. It is really more of an optical illusion than a true FAIL. If the arrows were drawn a bit longer, then it would not look so odd.

      It’s funny how many people are blaming “perspective” when it is clearly an isometric drawing. ;-)

    • DataCable says:

      D’Oh! I fell victim to the very fencepost error I was trying to describe. A 3-stud brick is in fact 3 * stud pitch long (2 * stud pitch + 0.5 stud pitch on either end), which is the same as the center-center distance across 4 studs.

  28. Leila – Marius’s Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

    No and no thank you. :mrgreen:

  29. Christian fail says:

    yes i finally got it

    its a fail cuz the piece has 3 studs whereas where the arrows r pointing has 4

  30. Ryan says:

    M.C. Escher Fail.

  31. Flail says:

    No, the drawing is correct: it’s a perspective interpretation fail. The arrows are not pointing at the studs, the arrows are pointing from the corners of the three-piece to the corresponding spaces where those corners would go. The rightmost arrow is pointing to the very edge of the bottom piece and the leftmost arrow is pointing to the space just above and to the left of the third stud. The arrows don’t touch what they’re pointing at.

  32. I have no idea what to put here, so I put this says:

    It’s like trying to fit a square block into a circle hole. It never works out well…

  33. heather says:

    Escher could to it.

  34. Gryph says:

    Lego fail? More like an M.C.Esher win

  35. Kelly says:

    MC Escher Win.

  36. Cody says:

    Failure on my behalf for thinking I’d be original with a comment about MC Escher.

  37. geegee says:

    its called depth perception duhh !!, the arrows are pointing at the correct location.

  38. geegee says:

    its actually lego WIN, dumb consumers FAIL

    • Andrew Ong says:

      Sorry, that is the exact opposite.
      The Lego manufacturers will have to use the correct ‘Technik’, I suppose.

  39. Garig says:

    As a LEGO builder, this would make me pissed.

  40. gearig says:

    it’s an lego instruction by M. C. Escher!!

  41. nobody important says:

    It dose not mater, any one with a brain can figure out where it goes.
    (hint, look at the next page.)

  42. RedKid says:

    come on this is evidently an escher win.

  43. I use to hate when legos showed wrong directions.

  44. G. James says:

    What do you get when you cross M.C. Escher with H.R. Giger?

    Your worst inexplicable nightmare!

  45. Keero says:

    lame…. seriously its a lame fail… i’ll just say that much…..

  46. TheNormalGuy says:

    This is a great fail. People are just too perverted to realize that…

  47. kennyfox says:

    well if the arrows were in a 3-D environment, then from this angle this picture is correct because of perspective. but on a drawing it was kinda misleading. as the majority of commenters have shown.

  48. zJoriz says:

    As if Escher were on the job again…

  49. Dman117 says:

    what set is this?

  50. Guest 1337 says:

    I DONT KNOW!!

  51. BIONICLE says:

    Probably just one of those cheap ripoffs.

  52. Does anyone know what set this is from?

  53. I use to hate it so much when the instructions didn’t work out exactly perfect.

  54. O.o says:

    Maybe there’s a side legend: “nails through here”

  55. L-L-L-L-Lego says:

    Do you say Leg-o or Leeee-go?

  56. Really??? says:

    How can you make this big of a deal over a Lego instruction manual? It’s a fail, and that only!

  57. Wonderful paintings! This is the kind of information that should be shared around the internet. Disgrace on the seek engines for now not positioning this publish upper! Come on over and discuss with my site . Thanks =)
