TETRIS - CONSTRUCTIONS SINCE 1985

The only problem with their buildings… they have to leave a gap on every floor to keep the whole thing from collapsing!

I heard the american economy was built on a similar system. Except it's not falling blocks, it's falling stocks.

Wait, does that mean if the stocks have even prices, they'll all disappear!?

Well, it's not a thing about price, it's a thing about resale value, optimism/pessimism of the brokers and LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE PIECE!

In an interview with the main architect
"Yes, we got the concept from a russian building company, and we even tried to get their sistem to get workers doing better jobs than usual, but we found a problem... anybody knows a damn song called Type A or Type B?! Wait... man, don't put that L brick, I said (line completed tune) OH FOR THE LOVE OF...! (game over tune)

Nedless to say that after the accident they lost the patent for the building design and a lot more of companies copyed it once and once again saying they were fresh building concepts.

Yes the same thing happen to a town near where I live. The building was fine, a few holes here and there to keep it standing until some a-hole on the crane put a long piece in a hole near the bottom. The whole bottom of the building vanished, even the foundation. The rest of it collapsed, killing most of the crew and injuring some pedestrians. Oh the horror :'(

Also the workers will probably have drugs on site, such as plumbers's cocaine, architect's ecstasy and of course, builder's crack.

If Tetris blocks are the buildings, Bejewels are the sidewalks and roads.
