Too much fun with non-newtonian liquid


Thanks to Ryan, I spent about 45 minutes the other night with my hands in non-newtonian liquid (cornstarch and water). I have waaaayyyyyyy too much fun with those sorts of toys. It's fun to mess with because if it's under no pressure, it's a liquid. But as soon as you pound or squeeze it, it turns temporarily into a solid. In fact, if you have a whole pool of it, you can run across it really fast and not sink.

Can you make pancakes with it when you're done? It looks like pancake goo.
