Walking On Water

This experiment is something that totally needs to be done in a High School science class. Walking on water.

Well not exactly water, but liquid.

From their YouTube.com video description:

They filled a pool with a mix of cornstarch and water made on a concrete mixer truck. It becomes a non-Newtonian fluid. When stress is applied to the liquid it exhibits properties of a solid.

All I need is a mixer truck and millions of pounds of corn starch. Anyone up for a science project with me?
