Aug 22 2007Forbidden LEGO Instructions
As a world renowned architect, I grew up building a lot of LEGO sets. Most of them skyscrapers and other buildings of my own design. Now, No Starch Press is releasing a book of LEGO designs (208 pp., $24.95) that you were not allowed to make growing up, most of which are weapons. I had a lot of these ideas as a kid though. Of course my "Lego Grenade" looked less like a grenade and more like my mother smashing one of my houses because I hid her liquor.
A video after the jump.

To me, the title "Forbidden Lego" is misleading. Five projects, and not one of them shows how to make a powered sex toy. Women will say they don't, but they prefer their toys to be square with sharp corners, not smooth cylindrical phallus's. Phalli?
