Wouldn't take too long.

Granted I haven't played with lego's in about 10 years, only looks like maybe 30 minutes a day for a few days. :shrug:

Yea, that ain't shit

Someone likely got paid to do that as part of their daily job.

I typed Legos and Escher into google and hit the I'm Feeling Lucky button and I found a webpage with all those lego escher things.

If it wasn't obviously fake, that pic with the funky gravity would be so much cooler.

It's not fake. http://www.lipsons.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/escher/relativity.html

When I say "fake", I mean they used something more than Legos to make it, i.e. glue.

Actually it's not fake like that either. Those pieces have little pegs and holes in the bottoms that are designed to fit together. You can put one on top and one on the bottom - or reverse it - they won't come apart unless you pull them apart.

So am I. Those figures have little circle thingies on their feet, that stick on the pegs of the lego blocks. The legs can swivel up or down or back, so you can put one up, stick the other into the peg, and it looks like he's walking. But he won't fall off if he's upside down because he is snapped into the peg and attached until someone pulls him off again.

Doesn't look like some of those steps have pegs.

The only way a peg could be where the Lego men's feet are would be if they (the creators) used what I call a lightholder. However, there is no evidence of the unique properties of a lightholder in several of the cases. Therefore, there is no peg for the lego man to be attached to.

Dood did you even go to the website of the people who created that lego construct? They show you how they did the whole thing and explain all the steps and difficulties they had to deal with along the way.

And - I'm guessing you either never had your own lego set (in which case I apologize on behalf of your vile nasty neglectful parents who didn't deserve to have kids), or you've forgotten what they consist of.

Lego men have peg-thingies on their feet. They fit between the peg-thingies on the non-men pieces, the blocks and the bases.

You, looking at an admittedly edited photo of a construct, that was photographed at a very precise angle to give an illusion of constant upward/downward spiraling where none truly existed, can't use that photo for a reference from which to draw your conclusion.

The photo is an ILLUSION. The construct doesn't truly look like that in real life. However, all the pieces that are attached to each other, are attached to each other by way of the normal lego mechanics - eg, pegs and holes.
