Did you used to take things apart for the fun of it? Relive those heady days of destruction with this new blog dedicated to disassembly. [link via Readymade]
If it were me, I wouldn't have any pictures of getting it all back together, either.
Great find!

Or perhaps he tried to disassemble the webserver and his providers decided to suspend him as a punishment?

I took my mother's Singer sewing machine apart when I was about 10. When she came home it was spread out all over the dining room table. She freaked. I got my ass chewed out and remember putting it back together in tears. There were two screws left over after reassembly, but, oddly, it ran for years afterwards.

When I was a little girl, I used to make Barbie-pedes. You see, Barbie was actually made of six pieces [head - 1, torso -1, leg -2, arm -2]. Heads were interchangeable, more or less. barbie's leg peg fit into ken's arm hole and ken's arm fit into barbie's leg hold. Head pegs could be made to fit into the limb holes as well...
Apparently, one day the source of the dolls (not my parents) saw a Barbie-pede and I never recieved a barbie as a gift ever again.
These days, they have fancier joints and a "skin" over them, and Barbies can still be disassembled, but the process is a bit more permanent.

When I was a kid my parents bought a couple old school arcade machines that we kept upstairs in the game room. Nothing to fancy, just some old crappy games no one had ever heard of.
As it was upstairs in the game room my parents rarely went up their, so I was basically free to do whatever I wanted. One day my friend and I got the idea to build a flying machine out of the parts of the arcade game (I think we had just watched flight of the navigator or something).
Our plan basically involved a long wooden plank with broken circuit boards, heatsinks, and cut wires being attached with elmers glue. We had no real tools, so the arcades were taken apart with scissors and hard heavy objects made into impromptu hammers.
All I remember is taking it outside for its test flight, my friend and I sitting tandem on the plank, and yelling UP UP AND AWAY! and then getting very bored very quickly.
Still, the boredom went away pretty quick once my parents got home.
