Some of our New Zealanders on this forum will find this amusing: In June of 1984, NZ's then-PM, Robert Muldoon apparently had too much to drink and announced on national TV drunkenly that a snap election would be held within a month. Sure enough, with 93.7% of voters turning out, he lost to David Lange, who served until 1989. Can you imagine how crazy the media would go if the any US politician did this sort of thing?!

Glass is actually an extremely slow-moving liquid, which is why old window panes warp and are thicker at the bottom than at the top.
