Forbidden LEGO Instructions


From geekology, 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 a lot less like a grenade and more like my drunken mother smashing one of my houses against the wall because I hid her liquor.

Still, let it not be said I don't enjoy a challenge...
