Re: Recipe For "Funny" Liquid



No other ingredient(s) required. Just add water slowly until the
cornstarch is 'right'.
It will have the consistency of heavy cream - VERY heavy cream.



For a variation on the theme - use mineral oil INSTEAD of water. Make
a similar consistency and watch the viscosity shoot up when you bring
an electrically charged object near the flowing liquid. A rubber
balloon will 'solidify' the stuff.
