Better than a pool full of jello
What's the only thing in the world more awesome than a pool of gelatin?
A pool full of non-newtonian fluid!

What the Philosophers say about reality is often as deceptive as when you see a sign in a second-hand store that reads: Pressing Done Here. If you went in with your clothes to have them pressed you would be fooled; the sign is for sale.

A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The Clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.

Non-Newtonian simply means that it doesn't respond to force in the same way that other liquids do. When you put pressure on this stuff, it becomes hard (as you can see in the video.)
It's actually a rather boring mix of cornstarch and water. So... overly-thickened gravy without the fat.
mmmmmmmmm...
dan, I totally figured out what it was (even though I had no idea what Non-newtonian was) before we read this. We had a great time and made a HUGE mess of our kitchen playing with the stuff. Wasn't made nearly as well (or in the quanities) as the video though.
