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?
Wow, I sat and thought about this for a while. I think a sandstorm might round the edges, but I don't think it could ever wrap around to make a tear drop shape. Then again, that is how rain drops are made... but they aren't even tear drop shaped.

I have added nothing to this thread...lol my bad.
