China used more cement from 2011 two 2013 than United States did in the entire 20th century! Historic fail... The 344 foot high Bent Pyramid, built in 2600 BC by the Egyptians, was an early attempt at a straight sided aramid, but is thought to have gone wrong during construction! Shhh!!! I'm a bird! Baby Cinereous Mourner birds grow distinctive orange feathers to mimic a toxic Harry Caterpillar that lives near their nests, to ward off predators.

I wonder what adult Cinerous Mourners look like.

As I recall, that massive use of concrete/cement, was when they had some very big dam building projects going on in China.

The reason the Chinese are using so cement is because they still can’t build anything to make it last
