<curmudgeon voice> When I was a lad, we didn't have any instructions. All
we had was bricks - and lucky to get 'em! </cv>
Seriously though, *any* instructions curtail the creative use of the bricks
and produce reactions like that of a (ex) friend, who glued her son's X-wing
together because she got tired of pieces falling off it.
