You are telling me that if we heat glass it would deform? Who would have thought about that right

Heat in this context means any temperature above -273.15°C. Steel doesn't display liquid properties at "room temperature", glass does.

Which liquid property? I don't see any

Deforming on time scales longer than a human life, so that's why you wouldn't see it. It might indeed be an urban legend, I don't know, but given the claims in the article I cited I wouldn't entirely discount the possibility.
