Has anyone tried this?

131. Cut glass with. .. scissors!

You will need: bowl of water, pair of scissors, piece of glass.

It is possible to cut glass with ordinary scissors in any shape you wish, provided that while cutting you hold the glass and the scissors as well as your hands completely under water. The water deadens the vibrations which make the glass crack. Yes, under water, glass can be cut almost as easily as cardboard.

It's not mentioned, but I'd assume that the glass thickness would be something like a pane from a greenhouse. Might just have to try this one ...
