Yeah, I saw that a couploe of weeks ago. Very cool. I wonder if you could just fold some iron filings into regular Silly Putty to get putty like that?

Mommy, why is that pooh eating that magnet.

The science behind the video:

"The person took a piece of Silly Putty and mixed iron oxide powder into it. Iron is attracted to magnets, of course, so when he put a very strong rare-earth (boron neodymium) magnet near it, the iron in the silly putty was pulled to it (and vice-versa). Silly putty is fluid, so it basically flowed over and engulfed the magnet."

Hah! That's what I get for watching the vid and not reading the text. (Only so many hours in the day.) Thanks, Terry.

We observe here, the feeding habits of the larval teenager. Note the lack of defecation. It's felt this one way flow of material explains a great deal about the behavior of the metamorphosed entity.
