Those evil bastards! Runoff water damaging my Silicon Graphics, Palm, 
Seagate, Cisco, AMD, Adaptec, etc. shirts and laundry would surely agitate 
the crap out of me too. Must have been designed with a M$ product (much 
like older M$ Basic where if a series of commands are given using a 
"vending machine" concept, the end result will always be wrong- unless you 
negate every command after the first in the written program, lol. ...As 
told to me by a friend who was a programmer I worked with at IBM), hehehe.

PS: use for drainage or solidifying bed in soft soil in low-laying areas 
are usually what broken concrete is used for. It is semi-permeable, 
odd-shaped and multi-sized, allowing a lot of pieces to fit nicely together 
when laid down as a foundation for smaller stone or blacktop above, firming 
up the area to allow heavier loads with less shifting and more saturation 
drainage. Sorry, used to do engineering too and we started using that idea 
in the mid-90's.
