Fun with Science

Ever wanted to make Silly Putty?

Well, thanks to the Demo page at the University of Minnesota's Chemistry Outreach Program, you can. And, you can make slime and nylon and a bunch of other stuff. It's really cool!
But remember, some of this stuff can be a little dangerous so make sure that you have your parent's permission and help before you start messing around with it. (Or, your spouse's permission, if you're married!)

Have a great weekend!

Even in prison.

Yep, those prisoners get pretty inventive. At least, according to this story on Wired News, they do. And, someone's written a book about it, called Prisoners' Inventions. It's actually a very interesting look at how a creative person can get things done, when they have to. What a shame, then, that these inventive minds turned to crime instead of, say, engineering. I bet they could devise an alternative to the space shuttle!
