So what exactly is Silly Puddy?
According to Wikipedia, the second closest match to Silly Puddy is this.

What the F is a soquid?
Some stupid advertisments for the Sonic restaurant chain's milkshakes.
Silly putty is technically a viscous liquid, but for the sake of discussion I voted "who cares" because it is so true.
 
There. I took out the picture and left the link. Happy now?
That's not what they were getting at, it's the fact that there is zero information relating to the thread in the first post yet you still decided it was important to add a non-related image.
 
It's an amorphous solid.

That's what I've always assumed it was. Its ability to hold shape pretty much eliminates the possibility of it being a viscous liquid. With the exeption of glass, true liquids, no matter how thick, can't retain shape for very long. Silly putty can (and quite well).

It's a solid and a liquid, mixed to form a Frosty that you eat with a Fpoon. From Wendy's. Frosty's are like really thick milkshakes, except better. And you can put M&M's and Oreos in them! :dopey:

I said it's a solid. A really morphable solid, like a rubber band or rubber for that matter.
 
"Puddy" is an affectionate term for a cat.

Silly Putty, on the other hand is a liquid - a viscoelastic liqud (referred to as a "thixotrophic liquid") like custard. Its normal resting state is a liquid - a very viscous one like crude oil - but when subjected to stress it will become an elastic solid. It's part of a family called "non-Newtonian fluids".

And yes, I said custard.

Iremember seeing somebody walk on custard on a TV show a while ago, as soon as the guy stood still though he sank into it.

Yeah, that would be Braniac: Science Abuse. It was with John Tickle walking over a smimming pool filled with custard.

Yep (and yep to EE) - custard is a thixotrophic liquid. As soon as you apply pressure (stamp on it), it solidifies - the greater and quicker the pressure, the more solid-like it becomes. Stop applying pressure (by standing still on it) and it's a liquid (and you sink).
 
Wasn't it that show with the the scantily clad big boobed women?

It had Richard Hammond as the host.
