Science day

Today was science day at school. I love science day,but it was my day off.

Benedict made silly putty and did not clone mice. This is all he will tell me,presumably in case I get upset.

Still, I bet you're all pleased I was off for science day; last year I made everyone look at my dissected owl pellet.

Ooo, how did he make silly putty? Sounds great fun.

He says he used PVA glue, borax and food colouring, and that he mixed it with his hands. He also added that it made his teacher's hands itchy. Quantities, I'm not so sure of.

My initial thoughts were "hang on, I didn't get to make Silly Putty until I was a second year undergrad!"

While PVA glue and borax do make something of an approximation, I was making the real thing - which bounces, shatters and flows exactly the way it's supposed to. No nine-year-old would ever be let loose with dimethylsilyl dichloride...
