The interesting part for me is that the nearly-frozen mud is so dense and bonded that we don't sink. Walking on it is normal. But bounce something, and it waves and ripples like a fluid.
I'm pleased that the project got more discussion, even though Pascal claims that he was misquoted in the Times article. It's a bit strange to contemplate bits of one's chatter about analog sites being read in 100K Japanese newspapers, but I suppose not qualitatively different than receiving worldwide comments to online posts. Once I had several interviews included in an ITV documentary that aired in the UK -- over the next month, somehow several people found my address and began sending me letters from Britain describing their perpetual motion machines and UFO theories. None of that thus far ;-).
I'm looking forward to meeting you! But I'm a bit surprised that you're up at this hour, given that it's 1am or so, old-time.
