Holy crap! Thats the stuff from that Dr. Seuss book. What is it called?!

That's pretty cool stuff.

Ummm, I think it's non-newtonian fluid.

Ooobleck?

Thats it. I just came back here after some research to edit my comment and add that very word. Ooobleck! That stuff is amazing.

I like making oobleck with my kids, and playing with it. An entire pool of that stuff would be so much fun! I wonder if I could convince my husband we need to get a kiddie pool and an industrial strength drill, to stir it all.

I haven't played with this stuff since I was in 3rd grade.

Always wanted to see the effects of a quantity of more than a cup full...

Must make...

it's been a very long time since I'd seen this. thanks!

They did this on brainiac with custard, and a bigger swimming pool, and a lot of cement mixers

Mythbusters did it also.



It's actually 2 minutes in before Adam starts actually walking on it. Same concept.

Jamie mixed some of that up for Adam on Mythbusters. I don't think I've ever seen a happier kid. Awwhhh.

I'm certain this is a dupe, but it was pretty long ago... and this is really cool. :)

Dang it! we were typing at the same time! you must have hit submit just seconds before me. ;)

This stuff is really fun to throw, too. It takes fast hands to form it into a ball, but once you do, throw it against a wall. It shatters like a solid would, but then all the little pieces melt right away. Really cool stuff.

*Extra challenge* Play catch!

Whoops, double post

So that's how Jesus did it.

Not only was this done on Mythbusters, But the British show Braniac filled a pool with custard and made John Tickle walk across it

Nice backhanded "This isn't a Dupe, but it IS a repost", 'compliment'... >0<
