For silly, aesthetic reasons, the University decided to encase it in concrete and make it more cube-like. The engineering students, however, would have none of it. One night they launched a prank to “free the rock” and return it to a more natural state. With dynamite. As this was being carried out by students and not actual engineers, there predictably was a miscalculation. Rather than liberate the rock, the late night explosion instead blew out the windows of the nearby library.

But it’s not too late for you to use it. While “freeing rocks” probably isn’t in high on your list of to-do’s, if you have a boulder on your property that’s giving you grief, concrete slabs that seem
