Useless InformationDid you know that crabs wee through their eyes? That maidenhair moss is so called because Anglo-saxons thought it looked like pubes? That Albanians have 17 different words for moustache? Astound us with your utterly useless and obscure knowledge.

CorrectionBringing Sarcasm To The Masses: Glass is what is known as a supercooled liquid and does flow over time as the structure of its molecules are not held in a traditional regularly crystalline ionic lattice. Instead, the internal structure is a randomly disordered liquid, experiencing both interatomic and intra-molecular forces common in liquids resulting in bonds forming and breaking as the liquid flows.
But the stuff about the mediaeval glaziers is probably true.
Apologies for length, girth, pedantry etc...
