BTW glass is not a liquid it's definitely solid. The reason you get glass in old buildings thicker at the bottom isn't due to gravity, but due to the fact that at the time of building glass makers couldn't create glass of a uniform thickness so when that happened they would put the glass in the window with the thicker end at the bottom
Glass is an amorphous solid.
I repeat 'Oh god I need a life'.
