Last month, N.C. State University's Materials Science and Engineering department had its annual summer camp for high school students. As part of the educational fun, they dropped at 50-pound ball of Silly Putty from the top of D.H. Hill Library.
Thankfully, they had foresight to record this event for posterity. Enjoy.
