Really weird stuff ;-)

"To keep you amused over the Christmas and New Year break, we've compiled a short list of fun materials - stuff that behaves a little bit outside the norm. Here's what we came up with."
No single thing abides, but all things flow.
Fragment to fragment clings, and thus they grow
Until we know and name them.
Then by degrees they change and are no more
The things we know.
- Titus Lucretius Carus

That's pretty cool.
