If Houses were built like Software...

...then the first woodpecker to come along would destroy civilisation.

Of course in Russia, sometimes the houses are built the way most software is. A reasonable foundation (though it might need some fixing-up) but with more and more additional stuff added in that was never envisaged in the original design, so you end up with something like this...



This from the excellent pictorial site, English Russia, which also has pictures of the first Russian Tank:


And what looks like a Jetline/Zeppelin hybrid, but is actually a high-volume transport for space boosters.

    From an old mug I used to have:

    "If builders built buildings the way programmers write programs, the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization"

    Some people are creative and do not need to follow the group. Looks are just not that important.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
