Default how to break up block of concrete

Yesterday as I was digging a fence post hole I hit an obstacle about a
foot down, and ultimately dug out a big blob of concrete. Looks like
it was how some previous owner set a fence post. It's an 18-inch
diameter blob (roughly spherical) of concrete with a shallow (maybe 6
inch) hole in the top. This thing is way too heavy to put out with
the trash. So, how do I break it up for disposal? (After digging
this thing out of the ground, believe me I have already thought about
the pack-the-hole-with-dynamite option, but don't think that would
conform to local ordinances.) -- H


Suggestions for the blob:

1. Put out by curb on garbage day, topped with a chilled six-pack.
2. Leave in schoolyard in about two weeks (during dark of moon). Dilbert's
boss did that with an old refrigerator.
3. Clean. Paint green. Place on city hall lawn with plaque: "Honoring the
citizens of (town name here) who gave their lives during the great war,
1914-1919."
