I think I first saw the ad on the Straight Dope Homepage, but no matter how many times I try to refresh, it never comes back. I caught a brief glimpse of a banner ad for “Crazy Aaron’s PuttyWorld.” It was so odd and brief that I’d wondered if I’d imagined it. Suspecting I was crazy and wanting to know for sure, I called upon the full power of Google. Believe it or not, there is an honest-to-god [puttyworld.com](http://puttyworld.com). It’s a website that has nothing but putty. It completely astounds me that there can be a buisness based around putty. I knew that putty was versitile, but I had no idea. What’s more, the website has pictures of people doing bizarre things with putty. ``` [This guy](http://lib1.store.vip.sc5.yahoo.com/lib/puttyworld/12210028.jpg) looks like he has his wang wrapped around his waist. ``` [This nice lady](http://lib1.store.vip.sc5.yahoo.com/lib/puttyworld/12210020.jpg) looks like she’s about to bring a big freaking lump of putty down onto the head of some unsuspecting victim. [And these people](http://lib1.store.vip.sc5.yahoo.com/lib/puttyworld/12210016.jpg) look like they are about to start some sort of cultish ritual. Jesus, that’s a lot of putty. ---

Well. That’s just _silly_. ---

Thank you so very much, I just blew $68 on two pounds of glow in the dark silly putty. (They have a bulk order page, heh… [http://www.puttyworld.com/bulthinput.html](http://www.puttyworld.com/bulthinput.html) ---

If you don’t mind me asking, what are you planning to do with all that putty? I think I would be frightened to have two pounds of quivering, oddly intelligent putty in my home. What if it develops awareness and devours you in your sleep? The last thing you’ll see will be the eerie glow before it consumes you. ---

Huh. Well I guess there _is_ a demand for massive amounts of putty. Once again, my conception of the world is proven to be totally and utterly wrong. Enjoy your putty responsibly. ---
