Silly Putty(r) was a lab accident that happened when a chemist was attempting to make rubber from silicone oil. Corn starch in water forms a viscous 'non-Newtonian' dough that is similar to Silly Putty(r). The similarity comes from the non-Newtonian behavior of both mixtures. If you roll either of them out into a cylinder and slowly pull them apart, they will stretch. If you rapidly jerk the ends, they will both fracture.
