"I think they ought to take it out," he said. "Don't they have any curiosity?"

"We'll leave it for future generations to find, and wonder what it is."

On the bright side, at least there is the admission that Houston's overpriced, poorly planned rail system down Main Street will eventually be torn up (when future generations will have to deal with the concrete mystery once again).

I used to work for a company that got a contract trying to design a "danger sign" to put on a nuclear burial pit that needed to be marked for the half-life of the stuff there (50,000 years or so). I'm not sure what (if anything) they came up with - but how do you mark something as dangerous for someone 1000 generations from now? One thought they had was to have a huge jumble of various shapes of concrete strewn across the surface (which after a few thousand years would get buried). Fast forward 50,000 years - Heck, I think they should keep diggin' - don't they have any curiousity?
