Does a brick maintain attached flow? (Joking, of course.)

If I correctly understand what you're saying, the brick is neutral because it's shape is evenly proportioned on all surfaces along the stream, correct?

Completely OT question - Since wind forces can erode a surface, would a sufficient high speed wind eventually turn a clay brick into a teardrop profile?
