The experiment – Photo by Alastair Forbes
The laboratory was humming with sound. The professor flipped on the light switch and looked around the room. He went over to his desk picked up his notes. The formula he had come up with was so simple it could not possibly work. But he had to try. Scratching his head he thought to himself that there was only one way to find out. Pushing his chair away from his desk he got up and went over to the central laboratory table.
He gathered what he needed and set to work. He put it all together with the exception of the catalyst that would cause the reaction he was hoping for. He walked over to the cabinet and hunted around for the tiny vial that held the secret ingredient. Finding it he picked it up and held it up to the light. It looked good.
Going back over to the table, he grabbed an eye dropper. Carefully he opened the vial and removed a single drop of the compound. He dropped the liquid into the cup. The color changed from blue to clear and started to lift from the cup. The experiment worked. This was his latest version of flubber!

G’day! Love the story that accompanies the photo! Great capture of that moment in time!
Cheers! Joanne
Why thank you Joanne!
Great tale! I can see the “life” in the glass now!
Thank you Jesse!
It’s been a long time since I watched that film!
And what is in the glass could be the newest generation of flubber!
Skipping ahead in the story, I anticipated a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde FRIGHT ending. fOOLED ME but good. LOL! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it Roy!
And now, will he turn into something strange? I wonder.
No, that would be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide. Flubber is a rubbery substance…

I assumed he would drink it and go all weird. Maybe he’d get rubbery and have trouble walking. Depends on how hard the rubber is – Jell-o or India rubber.

I didn’t see this movie, but every new mixture can have different results. You never know….
This is true! Good movie! If you can watch the original it stars Fred McMurray.
Great short story – Fred MacMurray would be proud………Ha! Thanks for your good imagination.
Glad you enjoyed the story PJ!
Haha I like that, and I can imagine it bouncing around the room 🙂
Hee hee! Glad you liked the story! Great photo Al!
Thank you 🙂 It wasn’t what I was going for when I took, it came out so much better. I was attempting to get a shot of my hand thrusting into the water, but the timing was out, and I caught it as I was bringing my hand out which pulled water out with it.
Cool shot!
Thanks 🙂
