    So I've got these small polymer spheres and if you put them in water...

    In about 12 hours they grow to 300X their size because they can absorb so much

    The best part is that the white ones seem to completely disappear in water

    What do you use them for? They are pretty

    I wonder if they are hard, and if you take them out of the water do they shrink?

    I don't know yet exactly. I thought hmm they're 99% water so I can eat it right? No...the package says no

    They few I took out haven't shrunk yet, they kind of have the consistency of a more firm jello.

    Interesting, have you tried to "pop" one?

    The clear ones are really cool

    I don't know if I've ever posted this before or not but this is the full transcript of the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon printed out into a picture of the Apollo. I couldn't find a frame this size that wasn't ridiculously expensive so I painted a canvas background all galaxy-like

    I love your painted canvas background! Excellent job!

    It looks awesome with that picture!
