Cob a cob code mission for all cobbers day

Sorry!
Speculation on my part. Very sloppy. My apologies. I still have a 
strong suspicion that not all of these constructions throughout the 
centuries had a happy story. Just not proveable.

I still "feel" better in a structure that has some science behind it. I 
know this may be a false sense of security (remember the Titanic!), 
but I feel it just the same. Human nature I guess.
