"Glass is a solid."
I assume, (and may very well be wrong) that the poster was attempting to trick the audience, as most people know that glass is actually a slow moving liquid.
At least, I thought glass was a slow-moving liquid because someone clever (I thought) told me years ago that glass is a slow moving liquid, and I've repeated it with great confidence because I am equally clever.
Well, due to the sudden and violent education I received at the hands (pages?) of a book my wife purchased me to read on a recent flight, I now know that glass is an amorphous solid-one of the many more than 3 (solid, liquid, gas) physical states of matter.
So, gentle reader-please select a moment of your own education to share with the rest of us foo-ites.
Don't worry about being shamed-given the scope of all there is to know, we're all nearly equal in ignorance.
A dingleberry can originate from either fruit or vegetable or both. In any case, it is inedible.
if my father was to be believed, they also originate (and hang) from lamb's bums.
He never commented on edibility, but I assume not. :)

Ummm, me thinks they (dingleberries) can hang from most bums. Even those bears on the Charmin commercials. :)
