Aw, now that was fun! I've seen this type of thing before, but it's really better when the Doctor tries to explain it so quickly.... Thanks for sharing!

That was awesome! I didn't know you could do that!
I only wish I'd known about this link this morning, because I just took my Chemistry final and I would have loved to have shown that to my teacher. I think I'll send him the link anyway...

The best part is that you can make this stuff at home with a box of corn starch and some water. Maybe not that much at a time, but still enough to punch...
Also, it you make the slime with some vegetable oil and then freeze and stir it, it gets lots of weird properties to do with static electricity. You can run a staticy balloon over it and make it wiggle and jump. So cool.

my eldest makes this stuff at school all the time and I think I play with it more than she does. It's so awesome, I forget what she calls it, I'll ask her in the morning

I think I'll send him the link anyway... Hey girl, we can make this stuff at home if you want. The recipe has been made in pre-school for years. I think you've played with it before, but it was green and was called "silly putty", though not the actual commerical product. (The commercial product, "silly putty" is actually a batch of plastic explosive that didn't mix properly, and as a result, they were looking for a new application for it in the late 1950s-60s, and decided that it might make a nifty kid's toy, cause the chemical in it disolves ink, and lifts it right off the page... allowing you to reprint with it, or stretch it, or bounce it. Never did figure out why the took it off the market, though.... BOOM!) |
