I used to think that the next time I was in a silly mood I’d order a few pounds of brightly colored Dilatant compound. I certainly don’t want 100 lbs of it, and even $12/lb seemed steep.

But now I’m thinking the black stuff would be nice. Except that it’s $24/lb. Would just one pound really be enough? And then there are all those other neat colors….

(Other problem: the stuff seems to melt in Florida, even indoors under air conditioning. I bunch it up and two hours later it has ooozed out into a flat boring ameboid shape. Could it be the humidity? Or does it do that everywhere?)
