Are you stupid or something?

This is driving me nuts. I searched and searched for info on what these things are, but I couldn't find anything.
Thu Sep 28 23:48:24 -0700 2006 My best guess is that they have something to do with the cows that they love so much in India. Every one of them is located right next to an array of small buildings. Maybe these are stables of some kind and the ovals are elaborate corrals for the blessed sacred cows? Here's an even more wild guess: Maybe these are places where they produce cow dung as a cash crop. After all, the Indians have found 1001 different uses for cow patties. From: ddtjmcd
They're brick kilns.

Thank you dd! I have inner peace at last, LOL.
Mon Oct 02 19:39:51 -0700 2006 I was afraid that my cow dung theory was going to be way out there. Glad I didn't disappoint! LMAO. From: pete592
Eureka! Mark's link states that fuels used to stoke the kilns often includes agricultural waste! There may well be a connection to cow patties after all! LOL.Mon Oct 02 19:46:37 -0700 2006 From: ddtjmcd
Mark, you should use your link about the discription of the Bull's Trench Brick Kiln for your learn more link. It's a much better representation that what I have.Mon Oct 02 21:02:42 -0700 2006 From: tedder
