- digg it
- bstory, on 07/07/2008, -64/+10way funny
- ezcheezbandit, on 07/08/2008, -18/+5u got way buried
- ameologger, on 07/07/2008, -13/+213lol , looks like some one decided not to hire an engineer :)
- brad3378, on 07/08/2008, -3/+147It seems quite obvious to me that they didn't use a concrete vibrator to get rid of the air bubbles in the concrete.
***pushes up glasses***- tientruong, on 07/08/2008, -10/+3Indubitably.
- theOster, on 07/08/2008, -0/+19also, you *know* they don't have any bottom steel in that upper stair...
- MrPingu, on 07/08/2008, -2/+89Concrete vibrator?
....sounds painful. - jjesusfreak01, on 07/08/2008, -2/+3Its called rebar....those stairs are perfectly good, as long as you dont have a problem climbing around.
- mastazed, on 07/08/2008, -3/+53yes... because you need an engineer to avoid that situation.
- urbandistrict, on 07/08/2008, -16/+35Maybe they hired an engineer instead of an architect.
- thcobbs, on 07/08/2008, -5/+65Nah, if they had hired an engineer it still would have looked ugly as hell... but it would be functional.
If they had hired an Architect, it would have been beautiful as hell.... till it fell down.
My guess is they hired "bubba" down the road who happened to have a trowel and some free time. - bigbadgoat, on 07/08/2008, -2/+10I see urbandistrict isn't familiar with engineering
-An Engineer - bvinson, on 07/08/2008, -2/+1oh snap
- urbandistrict, on 07/08/2008, -0/+16....everyone knows engineers operate trains. *ducks*
- Le3f, on 07/08/2008, -0/+7^ and sentries
- SteelFrog, on 07/08/2008, -0/+8Spy sappin' mah sentry.
- An Engineer
- thcobbs, on 07/08/2008, -5/+65Nah, if they had hired an engineer it still would have looked ugly as hell... but it would be functional.
- WillyWonka, on 07/08/2008, -4/+6"It looked good on paper"
- kelmaster1, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6or just someone who's not a dumbass
- thetanman, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2"I'm embarrassed. I really thought I could feel it."
- tas08, on 07/08/2008, -0/+5Someone was just playing real life Lemmings!
- TonyLocNE, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3They were looking to hire an engineer, but M.C. Escher gave them a lower quote for the job.
EDIT: damnit, someone else below beat me to the Escher reference.. - addicted68098, on 07/08/2008, -1/+1In houses like that they usually build only one floor at a time. I would guess they didn't need one set of stairs so they used it as a platform to the next floor.
- brad3378, on 07/08/2008, -3/+147It seems quite obvious to me that they didn't use a concrete vibrator to get rid of the air bubbles in the concrete.
- keeneyedgirl, on 07/08/2008, -34/+4it's funny!
- ZeRux, on 07/08/2008, -9/+1That's what she said.
- seabass10, on 07/08/2008, -2/+1you poor soul
- keeneyedgirl, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1i can't understand why i got -30 diggs -_-;;;
- ZeRux, on 07/08/2008, -9/+1That's what she said.
- wishninja, on 07/08/2008, -12/+322No bid defense contractor in Iraq.
- urbandistrict, on 07/08/2008, -2/+6brilliant!
- thcobbs, on 07/08/2008, -0/+30Well, I dare you to raid the building by THAT stairway.
- AnarkeIncarnate, on 07/08/2008, -1/+9They'll just use flying mounts and have locks summon in the healers...... duh
- Bilabrin, on 07/08/2008, -0/+9The new U.S. embassy in Iraq?
- megamod, on 07/08/2008, -6/+1is it safe to say..."When you see it you'll ***** bricks!"
- phibit, on 07/08/2008, -0/+4If it takes you longer than 2 seconds to see it, your head is a brick.
- Vvolf, on 07/08/2008, -11/+2Nice racist comment, especially since its in Iran.
- inhaler, on 07/08/2008, -1/+5Fail.
No bid = did not have to negotiate asking price with the government AGAINST other organizations looking for the work.
defense contractor = someone hired (most likely American) to repair infrastructure in Iraq but not a part of the military.
Where does race fall into that? - Vvolf, on 07/08/2008, -2/+1It looks Middle Eastern it must be Iraq is where the race fell into that.
- azaraa09, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3 Everywhere, Republic of Poverty + Iraq Joke = racism.
Apparently. - NotOptium, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2You need to look up the definition of racism. Because mistaking a picture of a building in Iran for a picture of a building in Iraq is not it.
- Millsee, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Your type of "racism" is the kind that makes people walk on eggshells; it's illogical and ***** annoying.
I guess you say "chalk-board" instead of "black-board" do you?
***big yawn***
- inhaler, on 07/08/2008, -1/+5Fail.

- pikagrue, on 07/08/2008, -32/+5You see those numbers off in the corner?
Obviously shopped. - orangekid13, on 07/08/2008, -7/+33I think that's what plan B looks like
rumor has it plan C involves a railing- EpicSelekta, on 07/08/2008, -0/+7As in, the "architect" is getting railed?
- WELLDOITLIVE, on 07/08/2008, -2/+2Ergo, vis-a-vis
- orangekid13, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1architect, concrete truck driver on acid, it's all the same right?

- slym2k, on 07/08/2008, -4/+3When you get to the top, remember to kneel down and have your Red Crystal equipped.
- MyDiggIsBig, on 07/08/2008, -13/+7its one of those scenes where the guy has to walk upside down on the stairs.
- reaper, on 07/08/2008, -31/+21990 is here.

- phibit, on 07/08/2008, -1/+51990 isn't here. It's way back there.
- chrispchiken, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2Old internets is old.
- jayrok, on 07/08/2008, -15/+7Going up the stairs and going down the stairs and going up the stairs and going down the stairs and going up the sideways stairs.
- FarFromSob3r, on 07/08/2008, -10/+178Lets just be glad it wasn't an escalator.
- drethedog, on 07/08/2008, -13/+4Nothing wrong.. you are tripping!
- 0Xonox0, on 07/08/2008, -20/+9Only in Russia...
- palehorse864, on 07/08/2008, -5/+12Stairs climb YOU?
- gibler, on 07/08/2008, -10/+4Yes there is an issue! Where are the metal hooks to clip your climbing rope to?
- antileet, on 07/08/2008, -13/+5EPIC FAIL.
- RiotOfWords, on 07/08/2008, -15/+10MC Escher taken a little too literally
- baconz, on 07/08/2008, -13/+7Yea! The month is missing from the timestamp! You can't get one past me :P
- 801NvizioN, on 07/08/2008, -13/+4It appears the stairs are slightly off.. is that what's wrong here?
- Jenadae, on 07/08/2008, -11/+176http://pics.ipostr.com/pics/pic_12003396802045.png
- Seth024, on 07/08/2008, -2/+3How did he get in there in the first place?
- derekcannon, on 07/08/2008, -5/+6The mushroom fell into the hole (from right to left) after Mario had already entered.
- ChoiceMad, on 07/08/2008, -0/+14Are goombas considered to be poison-mushrooms or something because what I had always known to be a 'mushroom' came out of the '?' block and fell to the right
- Shadic, on 07/08/2008, -2/+2In SMB3, and I believe the later games, the way you're facing changed which direction the mushroom comes out.
- HueytheFreeman, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Portal Version: http://linkitch.deviantart.com/art/Relatively-Port ...
- Shadic, on 07/14/2008, -1/+1The person who Dugg me down is an idiot jackass.
- insanedrummer5, on 07/08/2008, -1/+0lmao! priceless...
- Seth024, on 07/08/2008, -2/+3How did he get in there in the first place?
- gibler, on 07/08/2008, -14/+43Where is the safety rail???
- flashingcurser, on 07/08/2008, -0/+4Yes handrails are required by code! Also that first riser after the landing doesn't look symmetrical with the others. This building department will simply HAVE TO "red tag" the job. No more work on this project. I'll give you two weeks to remedy the situation or I'm pullin your occupancy permit, a week after that and we'll have to tear down those unsafe stairs and give you a massive fine. Got it!
If they can't even bother to read the building code then they shouldn't be in the business, sheeeesh.
- Barney255, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Forget The Rail, Look How Thin It Is, Will That Hold?
- flashingcurser, on 07/08/2008, -0/+4Yes handrails are required by code! Also that first riser after the landing doesn't look symmetrical with the others.

- M724, on 07/08/2008, -9/+4Someone should have studied some engineering before pulling this off.
- TheModernArdeo, on 07/08/2008, -9/+4You see, they were designing an Escher building for the Iraq premiere of The Labyrinth.

- bloominoctober, on 07/08/2008, -3/+1meaning it makes no sense? Or it's completely not funny?
- EpicSelekta, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1either that it's silly, or that the architect was thinking "and now for something completely different!"
- mopro, on 07/08/2008, -6/+15This looks like a map from lemmings
