Actually, this is disturbingly possible. Physicists use syrup to study 
liquid flows and turbulence, because its high viscosity makes things 
happen slowly, and it's pretty harmless. 

I have been to the Open Day at the Cambridge University Department of 
Applied Mathematics & Theoretical Physics (Steven Hawking's department) 
and seen the wave-tanks and 50' perspex columns full of Golden Syrup. 
That's a cane-sugar syrup that's popular in the UK, for the same jobs as 
Maple Syrup in North America. They get it delivered by the tanker-load.
