settle a bet

A friend thinks that water is the only thing that can exist in all 3 states,
solid, liquid and gas.
(He doesn't realize there are more than 3).

I'm trying to convince him that ANYTHING can exist in those 3 states given
the right
temperature and pressure. How can I prove it to him? I just need to site
supporting
documentation on the web.

Thanks,
Mike
