??? I often throw them into the middle of walls, and they seem to work fine.
I try to make sure they are well braced from the top and the bottom, and not
line too many of them up, but I have had little problem with them as a
structral element. I used some of them here:

As well as in the larger (half destroyed) "cathedral" I built. Pics of it can
be seen on the NELUG Webpage (www.nelug.org) under the BrikWars links. It
looks rickety, but that's just a clever ruse. It's quite solid.
