Homemade Silly Putty
kinema writes "Have you ever wanted a ball of Silly Putty as big as your head? Now you can make it at home. The University of Minnesota's Chemistry Department has instructions on how to make it on their website." Isn't silly putty a copyright circumvention tool? This should be regulated before it gets out of hand.
It's amazing how a chemical compound created while trying to devise better ways to kill enemies works out to have recreational purposes.
And they say America spends too much on military research.
Any terrorist handbook worth its salt has had recipes for putties for years. OH! SILLY putty! I was thinking EXPLOSIVE putty! My bad.
You can make very dangerous grenades by using silly putty.
Personally I wouldn't publish such information. With the Patriot act you are with one feet in prison when putting this on the web.
And it's always a little questionable to provide people with information to make dangerous stuff like weapons etc.

No no. It's a copyright circumvention tool.
Try using Silly Putty some time, and press it ontop of a newspaper.
Have you ever wanted a ball of Silly Putty as big as your head?
I'm hydrocephalic, you insensitive clod! I'd prefer a smaller head, thank you.
Ever wanted to know how microsoft patch their software? Gum and putty, they got tonnes of the stuff. Good'ol Bill has the worlds largest bubble bum collection, as for the putty, Ballmer keeps a lump in his back pocket

"Now you can make it at home"
Okay, sure, I'll just pull the sodium borate out of my cabinet under the sink.
My cousin gave me a recipe for making this from domestic materials... Salt has lots of sodium, and most brands of the toilet cleaner contain borate. Let me see... if I just mix a little of that with some garden fertiliser, then shake the whol >BOOOM

Bah weep granah, weep ninny bong!
where would one go to buy this stuff anyways?
I want 2D games back.
Have you ever wanted a ball of Silly Putty as big as your head?
Why, yes! Yes I have!
Now you can make it at home.
"We went to the bars and then a house party last night. What'd you do?"
"I stayed at home and made Silly Putty! I'm going to kill myself!"
The coolest voice ever.
Elmer's Glue and Borax.
Slow news day, huh?
Yeah, hahahah, heh, heheh, wooo.
Thank god for that. I've finally stopped laughing. Took me 30 minutes though - take care clicking on that link if you've got to do something soon.

Gosh, me too. Here's what you do.
Take a breather, then you and your Super Friends can meet at the Halls of Justice and concoct some plan to bring truth and balance back into this wacky world where evildoers peddle glue and borax and call it "Silly Putty".
