Well from what they both say, it's a resolution issue, I'll put that into my lessons learnt folder and move onto the nuclear reactor, you guys can obviously fix this.

Bridge by M.C. Escher

It was suggested that another lane be added to the new river bridge today by the Mayor and city manager, no reason was given for the sudden changes...

If we keep the blueprints folded over like this do you think we can blame it on the draftsmen?

"What we have heya is a failya to comoonicate!", said the Warden, seeing the result of Cool Hand Luke's chain gang labor.

They should have called it "PhotoChop"

ROFLMAO!

A little long, but ok....

...say 1000 words per picture?

"We built it just like the print"!!!

Raised and lowered by scooting it right and left, respectively. Very clever! Instant orthogonal translation without the need for a wedge - let alone a quantum teleporter! Dup this, China!

It looked OK from the office window....

This is what happens when 2 different survey crews ASSUME they are using the same control points.

Ha! Datums....

It could have been worse: at least we don't have to figure out how to connect the 10 mile English channel tunnel to the 16 Kilometer French channel bridge.

Has some continental drift occured ? I don't mind, except it sounds like it's going in the wrong direction !

i-Bridge app by Schmuttfone....making monumental errors has never been easier.

This is what happened when the "all-knowing" Director took over the design of the bridge prior to the filming of the movie "True Lies".....

Opppsss, did CaptMoosie Foxtrot Utah again?

Well it looked good on paper.

Gotta be a Government-design bridge.......

Exactly the end result of when the Federal Government and the design engineer uses the Metric System, and the General Contractor uses the English measurement system!

This sort of situation is bound to happen when Iron Workers have "liquid lunches"!

I followed the bearings on the map.......wait........what's magnetic declination mean?

Your shovel-ready stimulus dollars at work...

Dang, dang, dang.

"Right lane ends"

I dunno, he was babbling something about drawing match lines.

The answer is nothing. Nothing is greater than God, Nothing is worse than the devil, the rich never have nothing and if you eat nothing you will die. Do you have any more riddles?

No Worries, a traffic circle (roundabout) can fix this!

Priceless !

Where is my old PAPER metric to american conversion chart? -- JHF

The decision maker was a government bureaucrat who could not get an engineering job in the private sector.

Looks like crosseyed Joe forgot his glasses AGAIN!

"Guys, next trans-Atlantic bridge we build, let's settle on a driving convention FIRST!"

What happens when you ignore the curve offsets, it becomes a straight line.

If you can't Dodge 'em, Ram 'em!

Boat Ramp

"Now, remember to step out of the way when them two neo-Nazis come haulin' arse off this ramp!"

Must have been a strong current that day.

With the U.S. looking to outsourcing everything to China to save $, coupled with everyone having their hand in the cookie jar, the evident outcome was never questioned.

Another job that wasn't "shovel ready".
