Somehow I ran across this ..
http://inhabitat.com/could-bricks-made-of-animal-blood-be-the-future-of-construction/

Somehow I just can't help but think that people are just making shit up for something to write about.
"Could animal blood be the future of construction?"  Uhmmm...no?

I can just see some overzealous real estate agent trying to sell a home made from cows blood.  I bet it just smells wonderful during the rainy season.

Just like back in the good old days when they laid the foundation of a new house on the corpse of a sacrificed slave. Can we use human blood when making these bricks?

With all the throats slit in Arabia and the Middle East from sharia law they could use human blood. This reminds me of the Nazi's using human fat to make candles and using their skin for lampshades. People worry about the insane with guns, I worry about the normal people with guns or not, and what they can do thinking it is justified from their bigotry, hatreds, prejudice, and for sport.   :32:

What does this thread have to do with guns?

Naah, Americans couldn't even build Iraq and Afghanistan back from scratch with the blood of the 3000 000 civilians...

What are you making all this fuss about, ground bones are used to make fine pottery like your dinner plate, urine is used to fix dies to cloth, yes like your clothes, hair is used for fine quality plaster work and now there is the urine powered car.

and if you don't like the idea of using things that way you could always eat the blood, in England we call it a black pudding and it is an essential part of a full English breakfast. Then you might want to wash it down with a drop of urine just as many Indians do, and swear by.

If bricks are made with human blood, but no straw, then they are non-kosher ;-(

Yes, but I don't think they expect you to eat the bricks, unless of course-

The title just made me think right off about The Capela Dos Ossos



true its human bones instead of blood, but its not the first time things like this have been used in building things.

Unfortunately that is a good metaphor for most of human history.  A ecologically unnecessary species that is hostile to all other species.

This is actually kind of an improvement. In times past, peasant houses used to be made out of cow shit (among other things).
