# Really
Don't get me started. It really doesn't. That website worked earlier, too, but it's a link to a bunch of papers to that effect.

(the conclusion is that yes, if you had a piece of glass a mile long, and could stand it up on end without it collapsing under its own weight, after a million years, you might be able to detect some flow in it using a laser measuring thingy; the lead surrounds in stained glass windows should flow more quickly)

Urban Legends has a whole stack of pages on it.

# that's funny
cause in our summerhouse, we have really old windows. the house was built in ~1925 and the glass has quite obviously been flowing down as the glass no longer is clear but has vertical lines all over.

# It does!!
If you measure centuries-old glass, it's thicker at the bottom than at the top. Glass is just a super-cooled liquid. In thousands of years, all the glass will be pouring down the drains, trust me!

# I was told
It was actually made from the scrotums of virgin badgers. But if you say so.

# It was manufactured like that
They put it in thick side down to increase structural strength.

Your high school science teacher lied to you. Sorry.

# i heard it was because
they made it and it took ages to set, so they stacked it up and while it cooled it did flow a little bit

# yep
scientifically proven, prostate cancer is less likely if you crack one off regularly - or get a loved one to do it for you, of course
