Are you still reading this website on parchment, good Sir?

As I'm sure Mr. Google would have been happy to tell you, oobleck is a non-newtonian fluid of the dilatant (shear thickening) type, made from 1 part water and 1.25 parts (corn)starch. Being a liquid when at rest, the mixture acts increasingly like a solid the stronger one agitates it.

The name is derived from the sticky green slime featuring in "Bartholomew and the Oobleck", a 1949 book by Dr. Seuss.

Fare thee well.
