Homemade Silly Putty

Several people have asked for it, so here's a link to a good recipe for homemade Silly Putty. A simple web search yields several recipes that suggest using liquid starch, but the resulting goo is pretty nasty stuff. This recipe uses Borax, which works considerably better. The recipe is from Steve Spangler Science, a site filled with some really cool, hands-on experiments.
