. . . to see how its viscosity -- the scientific word for stickiness -- decreases when shaken . . .

Gee, I wish scientific urinalists would at least learn a little science before they report.

Until now, I was under the mistaken impression that viscosity meant thickness and rate of flow, not stickiness. I guess that 10W-40 viscosity motor oil I change to for summer driving is because it is stickier than the 10W-30 I use the rest of the year rather than because it holds its flow rate better.

I agree. Super Glue has a very low viscosity (flows like a stuck pig) but is very freeking sticky. The MSM loons are at it again.
