Liquid that is dense enough for the straw to float but the needle to sink.

What happened?

Modern technology can render the phrase "like finding a needle in a haystack" obsolete. | Partly busted | While it is possible to find a needle in a haystack, even using specialized machines to do so takes a considerable amount of time, particularly since bone needles cannot be picked up by magnets. The task is difficult enough to still make the saying viable.
