Super Concrete - 60,000psi strength in 29 days

Dude. Seriously. The ancients used telepathic levitation. Wow. Some people ask the dumbest stuff.

...and think of all the great college pranks you could pull off with skills like that...

Oh lay off the "smarter than thou" stuff. The poster is right about ancient concrete tech. People couldn't make Roman concrete for over a thousand years. And there's now a theory that the Egyptians had a form of concrete (that the Romans couldn't reproduce) that's better than anything we can make now, and had been confused for natural stone for centuries.

As far as your dumb questions thing; you may be providing still more evidence that perhaps the ancients were smarter than we are today. Go look up "Y devolution" and meditate on humility.

It was a joke you imbecile.

I've seen similar "jokes" in other posts as well.

I don't see the humor. Perhaps it's not coming off as you intend. It sounds insulting and arrogant.

But I suppose my posts have been thought of as such also, and I'll meditate on my own problems with judgment and respect.

I don't see the humor

I'm sure you don't! Crap. This is becoming quite ridiculous. I am going to check out for another week and when I get back this time I want everything to be like it was before I left the first time!!!

Del, Kris, Eu, et al, what happened? Am I ambisomn.... amssomn....am I sleepwalking? Go ahead wake me up! I can handle it! There's no place like home! There's no place like home! There's no place like home!

What next? Do we attack PWSlack for his funny reply? I'd find it very very hard to take CH Rummel's response as anything other than humorous. It took me about three seconds to read it... and no, I didn't laugh out loud and slap my knee, but I know his intent was to be funny... how can we fault someone for trying to raise a smile?

OK OK OK...I give!

Geez.

I'm sorry I have misinterpreted his noble intentions.

I suppose calling somebody an "imbecile" is a good thing too?

Please advise.

Say Uncle.....say it.....say uncle!!

Hey look. I didn't say I was funny. After being on the threads a while I like to nip some stuff in the bud as well as to, perhaps, spur it to discourse. I also love paranormal, and the wisdom of ancients as well as the idea of lost technologies/civilisations. I am actaully working toward making the study of ancient technology/peoples a full time effort.....I am returning to school after I graduate in December (at age 37) in an effort to get the next foot forward.

So there you have it. And now I'll call off the pack of merciless squirell mercenaries I had dispatched to your house.

Uncle. there. I said it.

But you misspelled squirrel.

I don't so much mind misfired humor, insulting arrogance or name-calling; but such malignant misspelling really gets me mad.

Ha! That's good stuff man. Very well. I will disregard the statement about misfired humor since you avoided, for the most part, my imbecile comment.

Now about the spelling of squirrel....uh....Uncle!

I once read some calculations regarding distance, time and work required to accomplish various feats of engineering. I haven't the time to go through my library now, but it was truly staggering. Perhaps I will begin a new thread pointed more toward the subject directly.

In the meantime I will renew my subscription to the Anti-pedantry Society.

"misspelled squirrel" ...duh-huh... and, regarding

"I am actaully working toward making the study of ..." ...would that be...SPELLING?

I do not neeed to werk on my spelleng. Ya'll can kiss my Texas butt!

The poster isn't aware of some foundations for a garden wall that took 2 days to break up with a 2.5kW electric breaker recently......

Thanks Andy, my initial urge was to respond in kind, but I was hoping to have discussions with intelligent individuals and not banter with egocentrists.

As for PW Slack, are you on something?! I'm not sure where you were heading with your foundation comment.

Apparently, someone found some incredibly strong concrete-of-the-ancients at 51:45:11N, 0:34:40E, 14m above Newlyn Datum sea level; and had a hard time breaking it up; probably to study its composition.
