Here is a question to ponder over for this Friday type day. Yes, Jimmy Hoffa was in the discussion.

If a human body was to be placed in a bed of curing concrete, would the body decompose? If the entire body is encased in the middle of said concrete that is say 4 sq ft thick on all sides, would there be any microscopic deterioration or would the little critters still infiltrate and do there "thing"? This was just a casual discussion amongst co-workers so I thought it would be a good Friday question. Any takers?
Oh, if the body did fully decompose, would the structural integrity of the concrete be affected?
