Not going to be good if you travel by air. Homeland Security would be all over you.

Oobleck (or ooblech, seen it spelled both ways, although oobleck is the correct way, I looked it up in the book) is from a Dr Seuss book, "Bartholomew and the Oobleck" The king of the land is bored of just rain, sun, and snow, so he has his wizards create a new form of weather, oobleck. The oobleck becomes a problem by making the whole kingdom sticky, if it wasn't for Bartholomew, the kingdom would have perished.

Wikipedia has an article on it, it's right here.

"Rawr! Attack me then, CHA! I got the super oobleck wallet! Mwhahhaa..."
"...I'm attacking..."
"Oh wait wait wait...I need to take out the cash first..." *pours out some assortment of coins and notes* *stuffs into pockets* *chucks oobleck wallet*
CHA! BULLSEYE!

Lol...That's how someone like me probably do it...alternatively, just run in the opposite direction of charging...

Oobleck? Where's this name coming from? It's like a non-Newtonian fluid or like a cornstarch solution.

[FrenchCrawler]

Oobleck is the commonly used name for this substance. It's a dilatant material. (Wiki's got just about everything)

[PetervG]

Show it in action and then I'll be impressed.

wouldnt use an oobleck wallet

[stranoster]

I remember making a massive bucket of oobleck in art and "throwing" it at people. Well done, very original but a bit more detail would have been good, like a clip to hold it shut! AWESOME
