Ruin?
Well once again science takes something simple and fun and makes it boring and well, not fun.

Well, anyone living near a beach could have told them that. I spent half my mis-spent childhood on the beach & built my fair share of sandcastles with my little bucket & spade. Take it from me, this is much easier if you add a little seawater or use wet sand to start with. Trust me.

As to why this should be, I must confess that asking the reason for this phenomenon never occurred to me. It was always like that & I have every confidence that it will remain so. I suppose that's the difference between an ordinary bloke like me & and one of them scientific boffin types.

PS. I couldn't help noticing that wet sand is sticky. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Someone, somewhere got paid for doing that.

Okay.....

Looks like someone had nothing to do.

Ahh...
I wonder why the ancients never used wet sand in their hour glasses ? That may well have put a damper on the sands of time .

how is building sand castles fun? I would much rather sit in my car with binoculars and look at women.

I'll tell the cops I was looking for sharks.

wet sand IS sticky, and it gets everywhere

childhood memories of many unwanted forced trips to the beach
