Sorry for the lack of link

Anyway, I think it's quite interesting. The team has just
received the Ig-Noble prize.

Wow 100 billion times more viscous than water.

And people complain about ketchup from glass bottles...

Glass is also a liquid at room temperature. Centuries-old
windows are thicker at the bottom because it has begun to
flow down.

Or not, heh:
There is no clear answer to the question "Is glass solid
