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!

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.

Now, as for what they used BEFORE 1985

Funny, but the caption could have been better.

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

There appears to be some gaps in their plans
BurnoutSpartan on July 3rd, 2009 1:49 am

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 :'(

WHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN!? WHEN!?

Ryu_Bonkosi on July 3rd, 2009 9:02 am

Brentalfloss's Tetris song comes to mind…

I heard the american economy was built on a similar system.
Vabolo on July 3rd, 2009 2:31 pm

I heard the american economy was built on a similar system. Except it's not falling blocks, it's falling stocks.
kirbyownsyou97 on July 3rd, 2009 2:57 pm

i bet none of you can guess what the construction workers were listening to as they built this.
KingHoboVI on July 3rd, 2009 3:48 pm

NO! This submission will make millions of nerds everywhere believe they can build structures! THE HORROR!
KingHoboVI on July 3rd, 2009 3:51 pm

Also the workers will probably have drugs on site, such as plumbers's cocaine, architect's ecstasy and of course, builder's crack.
WolvenGlory on July 3rd, 2009 5:41 pm

My bet is on "Never Gonna Give You Up"
WolvenGlory on July 3rd, 2009 5:41 pm

Not all of those equations are correct.
ThePinkSpartan on July 3rd, 2009 9:27 pm

No they won't. Not even a thousand years from now - Robots still eff it up.
JESUS! on July 3rd, 2009 11:37 pm

DarkSpeedZero on July 4th, 2009 12:56 am

Who the hell cares? My point is, this guy just won over 9,000 internetz
Exploderizer on July 5th, 2009 4:55 am

Oh, I acknowledge what you have done in that situation.
Exploderizer on July 5th, 2009 5:05 am
