Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty
"Thinking Putty displays four different properties on four different time scales. At very long timescales, it behaves like a liquid spreading out onto a flat surface. At moderate timescales, the Thinking Putty stretches like a plastic solid. At short timescales, it bounces like an elastic solid. And, at very short timescales (the impact of a high-speed projectile), the Thinking Putty simply shatters."
A friend of mine bought me a tin of the stuff, and it's surprisingly entertaining. The putty I have is "lustrous bronze" and actually has metallic striations throughout the putty surface. What's even more amazing is that the striations don't disappear even when you try to smooth out the surface of the material.
It may not be the ultimate in cubicle recreation, but it's mighty close.
