In case you’ve been living under a rock, Amare Stoudemire threw a fit after losing game 2 of the New York Knicks’ series against the Miami Heat. He proceeded to punching a fire extinguisher that was enclosed in a glass case.
It goes without saying, but he messed up his hand pretty badly.
If you think that looks painful we suggest you don’t go punching glass!

Certain everyday objects have more meaning than others for photographer Ed James. His latest project, “Murder Weapons,” is an exploration of just that. For this series, James photographed 10 ordinary objects that were each used in horrifying murders.
As you might imagine, the point of the series is to unsettle viewers. Here’s how James describes it: “I wanted each item to be unusually lit and out of context to mirror the way that the killers used them.” Check out the full series of 10 images below.
I’m not sure how he did it, but James certainly managed to make these objects terrifying. Especially that spatula…so freaky. You can find more pictures from Ed James on his website and Facebook.

Grenell is right:

To some it may seem nitpicky. We all make spelling mistakes, after all.
But Grennell’s point about double standards is spot on:

If you don’t believe him, you must be too young to remember this:
A minor slip-up by Vice President Dan Quayle hatched a frenzy and a long-running joke. Quayle led a spelling bee for sixth-grade students while visiting an elementary school in New Jersey in 1992. Working from an inaccurate flash card prepared by a teacher, he corrected William Figueroa, 12, when the child spelled “potato” on the blackboard – making the boy add an unnecessary “e” at the word’s end.
Quayle would never hear the end of it. The media assault for this goof was truly relentless.

Correction: While the “Asad” spelling is unconventional in the US, it has been used by others and has been used by the U.S. Department of State for many years. We’re no experts, but we now think there is more than one way to spell the name. We believe our original post was in error. We apologize.
