By the way, in the business, they are not
called "cinder blocks". They are called
"structural tile".

As a sideline to smashing toads, I happen to be in the architecture
and construction business, where they are technically called
"CMU's", short for "concrete masonry units".

They are never referred to as "structural tile".

It seems as though the Structural Clay Products
Institute did not make the transition to the web,
so that may indeed be current parlance.

Wait a minute. I detect the scent of a skunk.

Cinder blocks are not concrete. They are a type
of brick. Fired brick.

It is, trust me.

There is no clay in CMU's. I can't even think of a structural clay.
Architechtural, sure, but not structural. Then again I barely
glance at the structural drawings being more of an interior guy.

Just look it up, dude.

Certainly you have some articles on it in some of those scientific
journals you're always citing like the Bible.

Google indeed finds many references to "concrete masonry units".
Those are not cinder blocks. They are concrete castings.

A cinder block is a type of brick in which a combustible
material is mixed. The material burns out during firing,
creating a brick with similar strength to a solid brick,
but much lighter. I don't know what is used these days,
but in the late 19th century when cinder blocks were invented,
it was sawdust.

Concrete masonry units are not in any sense cinder blocks.
They are not fired. Cinder blocks are fired, hence the name.

OK, mark (purposely not capitalized to signify 'small'). You can
redefine the whole construction industry's terms if you'd like. But
you're quite wrong and I'm not going to play this pissing match with
you.

The Wiki page makes it pretty clear in the first paragraph, and this
*is* how they're known in the construction industry.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_masonry_unit

> Cinder blocks are fired, hence the name.

Cinder blocks are called 'cinder blocks' because they are made of
cinder. Duh.

The definitions of 'Cinder Block':

(Gee whiz, "Concrete Masonry Unit")

Damn, dude. Move on. And send me $500 for learning you.

Really, it's quite simple. Which one uses food grade propane to cook
the salmon? That's our boy.

You're welcome.

My fee is US$2000, please each send half of that to me via Email.

I was going to ask which bricks were fired with food grade
propane.... but ... I ... resisted!

That argument was truly mark's mark of distinction. Something we
should never forget for the sake of Bob.

I'm sending you all the 2 dimes and 1 nickel combos that the Safeway
and Randall's coin dispensers gave me instead of quarters <snort>
(thus saving them money, somehow).

I bought a second hand Chrysler New Yorker back in the early '70s and found
a foil-wrapped ham and cheese sandwich on the engine block the first time I
took off the air cleaner.

It was delicious. :-)

That's the one :-)

I don't do road trips anymore, and if I'm going to travel any distance,
I'll just ask the Hostie's for some food, rather than go out on the wing
and lift the engine cowling :-)

Cinders of what? They are called cinder blocks because
a combustible filler is burnt out of them during firing.

You don't have a clue as to how cinder blocks are made,
or even what a cinder block is.
