[penguicon-general] How does the hotel feel about corn starch in the pool?

[chuck child]

While I have not watched the video, I have played extensively with corn
starch and water before, and I can add a couple things.

First: If you put it inside a strong enough container, a inch thick puddle
of it can stop a .38 bullet.

Second: It can be made in small batches, and is almost as much fun that way.

And third, from my experience you need something like (one standard
deviation) one to one volumes of corn starch and water. . . So buying corn
starch at somewhere like Costco, or GFS, or a resteraunt supply store would
ake good sense.

Oh, yeah, and the recipe can accept a lot of variation, from a almost-solid,
that will take minutes for your hand to sink through, to an almost liquid,
that is hard to get to crumble, in your hand, because it runs so quickly.
