I received the same concrete press release again this morning but with a different headline. I guess it's REALLY urgent now since the satellite feed of the cement video footage goes out on the feed today.
The headline reads:
HIT A BRICK WALL WITH FEATURE STORIES?
WE HAVE A CONCRETE NEWS STORY!
YES, IT'S THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF CONCRETE!
Wait a minute! Is CONCRETE 100 years old or is the American Concrete Institute 100 years old?! Which is it?!
If anyone sees any concrete coverage, please let me know. Enquiring minds, you know.

It's the American Concrete Institute that's 100 years old. My Dad is a structural engineer and he has a book titled "Reinforced Concrete Design." According to the book, "there are in existence today examples of concrete construction dating back to Roman times and even earlier." So concrete itself is at least 2,000 years old.
