Pretty interesting, here's a video of the superfluid effects of helium: LINK
Wikipedia entry
Once it achieves the superfluid state the liquid helium leaks through the container that ordinarily would hold it. It can also travel up the sides of a container and can create a fountain that never stops.

Superfluidity is the characteristic property of a fluid with zero viscosity which therefore flows without loss of kinetic energy. When stirred a superfluid forms cellular vortices that continue to rotate indefinitely.

ETA: I was wrong, superfluid and supercritical fluid actually appear to be two different things.

Or is that just the description of the flow and not the fluid itself?
