Yes, most definitely they can thrive on paper.  Glass provides no moisture or food to the germs so they can't grow.

Innocentthe best gift in life is life itself.

i would think paper would have more "germs" mostly because you can wash the glass and if its like a mirrior you can use windex w/cleaners in it. i am going kinda off subject but i will take this question to my advantage & educate u and others.  bacteria and viruses (which are referred to as germs) can live on surfaces for hrs. wks.and months depending on the enviroment it has attached to. M.R.S.A. a SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS  strand of STAPH infection can live a surfaces for months. there is NO CURE FOR M.R.S.A. STAPH INFECTION. it has been sweeping our nation and so many are unaware of this uncontrolable "SUPERBUG" it is up to the power of speech to spread the word and educate others about the dangers that this virus can and will cause
