Hello again everybody, it's the Reverend Jay Goldstein and welcome to another episode of Activities and today's activity is something you might actually remember. It's silly putty That's right silly putty and if you don't remember it This is it this is well. This is the little container that it comes in silly putty is a little piece of rubberized silicone kind of stuff. According to Wikipedia, it is viscule elastic which means that it is a non-neutonian fluid. So it will actually work like a liquid in some ways even though it appears to be solid and here are the instructions on how to use it God here you can bounce it you can stretch it and you can snap it And it's from our good friends at Crayola. Here's a whole bunch of information. I'm not gonna read. Oh, here's something special It's made in the United States of America and I believe this is the first Correct me if I'm wrong. This may be the very first activity actually produced in the United States of America wherever that is What else is going on here? Oh, it's a choking hazard. Is it a choking hazard? It's a choking hazard and these kids Are having fun as you can see although I think she may be having more fun than she should be having At the very least if you want to measure the amount of fun they're having it is more fun than looking off at a hot air balloon in the distance Because they are completely distracted by the silly putty Anyway, it's for ages four and up. It's a lot of fun. So let's open it up and destroy its collectible value Okay, we just pop open the paper here Leave that there and you can see the little plastic shell that it comes in and keeps it fresh A little softer than I remember I remember these being a little bit thicker and harder, but it's got the silly putty logo um embossed on it. I don't know if you can see that either but perhaps and Inside wow look at that. It's silly Inside is the silly putty. So let's get it out That was essential. See here it is. Oh my goodness. It looks just like I remember it because you know They use a formula and it hasn't changed So one of the things you can do with silly putty as we saw in the package is you can make it into a ball You can roll it into a round shape Where a fairly round shape and then bounce it like a like a ball um Yeah, and look how well it bounces It's Very much like rubber in fact according to Wikipedia This was invented while they were looking for a substitute for rubber And let's do some of the other things in the package. Can we stretch it? Oh, yeah, it stretches really nicely And then you can fold it. This is something I always did a lot when I was a kid. I would stretch it and Fold it and keep stretching it and folding it over over again Also, you can snap it you can crack it you can kill See you can actually if you do it hard enough because it's not actually a stretchy solid because it's a non-Newtonian fluid All right, I'm making that up. You can snap it Like that and I guess if you do it right it'll actually make a nice snapping sound. Let's listen Hey, not super nice Uh, but to wrap up this video there's one other thing that silly putty was always able to do and that was you were able to take this and place it on a comic book and then Copy the image from the comic book simply by pressing the putty onto the comic book So we're going to try that right now. I've got this really fantastic comic book here this doctor who comic book I got from my friend Ed and what we're going to do is open it up to a random page and find the nicely drawn face of Dr. Who John Pertwee Dr. Who my favorite Dr. Who And we're going to place the silly putty on his face and press it down Just like I did when I was a kid and we would do it We'd press it down on the comic and then you pull the face off and you can Stretch the face. It's a lot of fun But as we're doing that as we're pressing this down If you enjoyed this video, please hit the like button the subscribe button hit your belly button as I've said before and Let's see if silly putty is any match for modern comics if it can actually Bring the face of Dr. Who into putty form No I guess not well I guess if I had some vintage comic books wait a minute Yeah, let's see if we can find oh here we go I'm going to move the Dr. Who comic out of the way here and This is the first comic I ever bought when I was a kid Weird adventure comics still only 20 cents have to buy it. I'll have a nickel leftover for gum And uh, this is actually a really good comic and hey look it's got um The Harlem Globetrotters in it So let's see if I can't pick up some of the Harlem Globetrotters on this silly putty As our last experiment There we go kind of press that down there And um, I don't know if the paper ink have changed over the years. I know that the new comic books are a lot more Modern color fast etc. So let's see if we can pick up from this old comic book No It's not meant to be but anyway, I appreciate you watching this video and if anybody has An idea of how I can make this happen. I'd be glad to hear about it in the comments. Thank you for watching. It's a Reverend Jay Goldstein Ta-da
