  1. Geeks don't RTFM on the first attempt! by Hungus · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This would have been far more interesting if:
    A) it had not come as a kit with all the parts in neat little bags
    B) They had not kept looking at the instructions.

    Putting together legos using the manuals really doesn't take that much does it? Now a to scale ISD out of 3m expanding foam carved with a hot wire and plumbed with LEDs .. now that would be cool AND you could float it on a pond.
