An odd start to my Friday
Wired has a piece on moldable protective goo, and the demonstration of its shock absorbing capability involves a man being hit on the head with a shovel.
It's very weird.

You've done the cornstarch + water thing, haven't you? It's gooey and flows like a liquid normally, but when you stir it momentarily gets gooey, and if you smack the stuff it gets hard. This looks like an extension of that principle.

Ignite has a ski beanie made of this stuff that might work out to be a decent winter cycling helmet?
