Fun with Silly Putty
Silly putty is neat stuff.
The article on Boing Boing where I found this had a lot of scientific mumbo jumbo about "glass transition temperatures" and "viscoelastic properties of polymers," but the important thing is silly putty stretches and deforms quite easily at low speed and constant pressure, but if you try to hit it fast or stretch it suddenly it gets quite brittle.
So what happens if you get a really big ball of silly putty (say about 50 pounds) and drop it from the top of a parking garage?
