The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

A World War II Failure Becomes a Popular Kids' Toy

Don't fear failure!  While experimenting in search of a rubber alternative during World War II, the General Electric Company invented a stretchy, bouncing putty.

Kids and older kids like me, real old, today refer to it as Silly Putty.
