"The bridge doesn't fit," said Thomas Grün, the mayor of Bürgstadt in the state of Bavaria, turning to a group of kindergarten children.

The children, who were waiting to test out new pedestrian and biking bridge over the river Erft, consoled the mayor — telling him that at home, their building block play projects sometimes don't work either, reported the local Main-Echo newspaper Friday, recounting Thursday's aborted installation.
 
Apparently checking field measuremets was not within the fabricator's scope of work. {?}
"Field verify all measurements." is the first note on my drawings.
