Best Trivia - Construction

 

Favorite Trivia – CONSTRUCTION

 
“Three engineering students are discussing what sort of God must have designed the human body.  The first says, ‘God must be a mechanical engineer.  Look at all the joints.’  

The second says, ‘I think God must be an electrical engineer.  The nervous system has thousands of electrical connections.’  

The third says, ‘Actually, God is a civil engineer.  Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?'”  

Plato and a Platypus Walk Into A Bar…Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes – Thomas Cathcart & Daniel Klein
The most important consideration in construction change order negotiations: “Did you get the benefit?” 

Construction Nightmares: Jobs from Hell and How to Avoid Them – Arthur F. O’Leary & James Acret
“… I was fascinated by the way the Japanese use space in their lives, and by these doors that slide and move quietly along invisible rails, refusing to offend space.  For when we push open a door, we transform a place in a very insidious way. We offend its full extension, and introduce a disruptive and poorly proportioned obstacle.  If you think about it carefully, there is nothing uglier than an open door. An open door introduces a break in the room, a sort of provincial interference, destroying the unity of space. In the adjoining room it creates a depression, an absolutely pointless gaping hole adrift in a section of wall that would have preferred to remain whole.  In either case a door disrupts continuity, without offering anything in exchange other than freedom of movement, which could easily be ensured by another means. Sliding doors avoid such pitfalls and enhance space. Without affecting the balance of the room, they allow it to be transformed. When a sliding door is open, two areas communicate without offending each other.  When it is closed, each regains its integrity. Sharing and reunion can occur without intrusion. Life becomes a quiet stroll—where our life in the homes we have, seems like nothing so much as a long series of intrusions.

Reneé (Elegance of the Hedgehog – Muriel Barbery)
