Tyco Makes a Splash... Without Getting Wet

Tyco, famous for toys and... more toys, apparently also has a "Fire & Security" division. The hardworking guys in that division have invented a substance that "acts just like water except for one thing... it doesn't get things wet."

Tyco representatives demonstrated the substance (called Sapphire) on Good Morning America by dowsing hosts Charles Gibson and Diane Sawyer with a bucket of cold tap water followed by a bucket of Sapphire. Charles and Diane reported that the tap water was noticeably more unpleasant and did, in fact, leave them soaked, while the Sapphire did not.
