Liz was born on the 2nd March 1950 which was aThursday. - Thursday's child has 'far to go' according to the poem. Also born on that auspicious day; in New Haven, Connecticut was Karen Carpenter, one half of the brother/sister duo 'The Carpenters'. No other amazing earth changing events seem to have happened on that day... ... I guess the arrival of Liz was enough for the world to cope with!Extensive research however, has uncovered the fact that Silly Putty was invented on 6th March 1950. |

Silly Putty bounces, but breaks when given a sharp blow; it can also flow like a liquid and will form a puddle given enough time. Silly Putty and most other retail putty products have thixotropic agents added to reduce the flow and enable the putty to hold it's shape. Silly Puttyis also a fairly good adhesive. When newspaper ink was petroleum based, Silly Putty could be used to transfer newspaper images to other surfaces, possibly after introducing distortion. Silly Putty will dissolve when in contact with an alcohol. However, after the alcohol evaporates, the material will not exhibit its original properties. Silly Putty is difficult to remove from textured items such as hair and clothing. Hand sanitizer can often be used successfully to facilitate the process. Silly Putty is flammable. When lit, the flame is a very bright white but burns slowly. The leftover ash crumbles very easily. When Silly Putty is microwaved for about 3 minutes, it becomes very sticky. However, when cooled, the putty returns to its original state. If Silly Putty is submerged in warm or hot water, it will become softer and thus "melt" much faster. It also becomes harder to remove small amounts of it from surfaces. After a long period of time, it will go back to its original viscosity. Silly Putty is sold as a 13 g (0.46 oz) piece of plastic clay inside an egg-shaped plastic container. It is available in various colors, including glow-in-the-dark and metallic. The brand is owned by Crayola LLC. Today, twenty thousand eggs of Silly Putty are sold daily. Since 1950, more than 300 million eggs of Silly Putty (approximately 4,500 short tons / 4,100 tonnes) have been sold.
