Silly Putty Experiment #4:

I shaped a ~9lb chunk of silly putty into an approximate sphere and 
lobbed it off of the UCC building at the University of Idaho.  Approximate
distance from the ground: 30-35 feet.  The sphere of putty bounced ~12 
feet and upon hitting the ground for a second time shattered into many
small pieces.  I repeated the experiment, but provided additional downward
thrust with my arms.  The results were the same, but the shattering was
even more pronounced.

Based on these results, I firmly hypothesize that a 100lb of silly putty
lobbed off of the Empire State building would shatter upon impact with the
ground.
