Was rocking a pee tonight at Tim Horton's and as I stared into the frothy bowl I couldn't help think about foam fractionation. Once a reefer ALWAYS a reefer.

Turns out glass is an amorphous solid and not a liquid (these are not the same). The stories of old windows being thicker at the bottom and that glass flows slowly as a high viscous fluid is a myth.

It's a good example on how google and the rest of the internet is actually making people dumber :wink:
Don't believe everything you read over common sense.

A Myth? Then how come I have seen, and had, in older houses, window's that have slumped?

Old manufacturing methods resulted in inconsistent thickness and installation methods created the preference to place the thicker side down.

During a lecture a linguistics professor said to his students, "In english, a double negative forms a positive. For example, 'He doesn't have no apples' actually means he does have apples. in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative is actually still a negative. How ever, there is NO language in which a double positive can form a negative"

Just then, one of his students huffed and said "Yeah, right..."
