250 lbs of Silly Fun

Google engineers are required to spend 10% of their time on projects totally unrelated to their main job. They are required to do something different, something fun, something bizarre so that they don't get stagnant and continue to innovate which is what Google does so well.

We all know that Silly Putty is fun. That egg shaped container with a few ounces of Silly Putty provides hours of pulling, squeezing and comic copying fun.

If a few ounces is fun, then 250 lbs is well... see for yourself

Turns out that breaking 250 lbs of Silly Putty apart was more difficult than the googlers anticipated. In a related (if not terribly technical) post it turns out that if you "smack Silly Putty with a hammer" it shatters. Cool huh?
