Oobleck at the speed of sound
I present several more oobleck links for the curious:
Cornstarch Monster 1
Cornstarch Monster 2
I've danced on oobleck, but didn't know that oobleck dances, too. You've just got to give it the right music -- Cornstarch Music.
For a more thorough, scientific look at oobleck's behavior, take a look at Cornstarch Coolness.
This needs just a little more water to match the Minicon oobleck in consistency.
I may have been the first, but I'm not the only one. Even scientists dance on oobleck. Well, one scientist, at least. Last month, Assoc. Prof. Marc Spiegelman danced in a bathtub full of cornstarch and water. He was demonstrating how rocks can behave as a liquid or a solid under different conditions at Columbia University Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory's annual Open House. That's how the YouTube summary describes it, anyway. My own dancing style is considerably different, even when oobleck is involved.
