  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

The last part is definitely the best. Those fingers are freaky. They look like CGI.

Gaah! The fingers at the end looked like a blurry image from Dante's Inferno.

Wow, watch it full screen and examine the cornstarch fingers as if they are an orgy, I think it works... http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/~mardd/Pages/Research/shear_thickening/images/cornstarch.wmv

Indeed, or the Founders, Odo's race of changelings from Deep Space 9...

A mixture of 2 parts water and 3-4 parts cornstarch is often called Oobleck, after a Dr. Seuss story. It behaves as a solid when compressed and a liquid when uncompressed. Vibrating it must give it a split personality as it goes from compressed to uncompressed rapidly.

awesome!!!
