[OT]Tasted freecycling group. Wanted:offered ratio too high

[John Boffemmyer IV]

Chad, local guy offered his broken concrete chunks last week, had 20+ 
people looking to take it for everything from rock beds for drainage 
ditches to stone walls to stone chunks in an outdoor garden someone was 
designing. You can definitely get rid of them. =)

:Attempt to make on-topic:

Were these chunks from a floor supporting old big-iron in a building or 
from a computer company's locale that was demolished?
