Why didn't they make bricks a bit bigger to save a little time in construction?
Just a bit.
Say 20%.
I think that might have saved perhaps 5% in building time and cost.
I'm probably wrong because bricklayers and stonemasons know their stuff...but my question still stands...

120 Things in 20 years is waking up slowly, but slowly.
It's my intention to gain a new ability every 2 months for the next 20 years. I'd enjoy some company, some help, and some constructive criticism.

Alchemy - Gooey Date
I invented a drink.
I called it a "Gooey Date".
Get a pitted date, bust it up a little... say into 5 pieces, and drop it into a 50ml shot glass full of vodka.
Add a teaspoon of maple syrup, a few drops of bitters (I make my own), and let it sit in the fridge for an hour or so to let the date flavour escape into the vodka. (so far I haven't made a bottle of it, so only have the one glass recipe)
Drink it.
It's delicious.
Don't have too many.
They make you fall down.
Unless you want to fall down.
Then you should have too many.
