Who was it that said hackers like this kind of stuff because they don't drink? That person was a moron.

Is this the stuff they make implants out of? Cause it kinda ripples like when you slap a fake boob. I sort of can't stop looking at it either Lindy.

A YouTube seach on Non-Newtonian fluid will keep you "busy" for hours! It's so... so... Non-Newtonian!

It was better on Time Warp...

It was done on Mythbusters too.

Real easy to make at home. Mix water with cornstarch and presto! Just dye the water first if you want pretty colors.
