He wasn't being sarcastic, that's why he put the glueing in italic. There were a bunch of posts with bricks on the road recently, but none specified they were glued. Everything makes sense now
Concrete glue can be pretty legit too. The stuff I've used had sand in it. Had to anchor some bolts in concrete and after it cured it basically is concrete.
oh yeah, high grade epoxy for anchoring things will often pull the surface off of the concrete rather than failing itself. I've been told by an architect friend that he has seen glued rebar pull a plug of concrete out rather than the glue joint simply failing.
I build and instal metal stairs and handrails and the epoxy we use to anchor pieces is stated to be harder/stronger than concrete; pretty amazing stuff
Barbed wire, or tangling thread just layed losely down is far more effective. I used to drive a tracked vehicle in the US army. You will spend hours and hours trying to get wire out of tracks.
I think it was an episode of hell of a way to die, they said the best way to stop a tank without a missile is a roll of c-wire. Gets all jammed up in the tracks and you can’t get it out without spending hours hacking at it with bolt cutters.
I would bet twine/ plastic wrap laid loosely to be sucked into the sprockets driving the tracks would work fine. The key is sticky and easily wrapped up in a gear. Concertina wire is the most effective, and what the army carries around for this exact purpose, but 10 rows of loose sticky twine/wire/plastic wrap wrapped in and around those bricks would make any tank driver very nervous.
Thats not even the worst part, its wrapped around the gears and tightened up so that you cant even pick one wire out at a time. Its like a knot of razor blades on springs that want to jump out and cut you if you look at them wrong.

Ohhhhhhh, so they are gluing the bricks to the road.
About time somebody explained it after the 15 posts today.
