Why is it that idiots have the luck to find parts like this and then try to put them together with no research or understanding...? :?

I guess you would have to say that this is really pucked up...

Between the two of those assinine concoctions, you could almost get a complete Berliner... still makes me wonder how idiots find this stuff and why they botch it up... :roll:
