Orangina - Weapon Or Refreshing Beverage?

I heard on the radio (on the End, actually... because sometimes I flip around on the ol' radio - I admit it) this morning that Scott Stapp, former frontman of Creed, had been arrested on suspicion of assaulting his wife. First of all, I didn't think Christians assaulted their wives - how wrong I was!

Second of all, and more disturbing, is that according to the AP, "Judge Cory J. Ciklin reduced the charge "because the allegation is that Stapp threw a bottle of Orangina at his wife, at her head, and missed and the bottle broke," sheriff's spokesman Paul Miller said.

"Based on the circumstances, the defense attorney argued that was not a deadly weapon," Miller said."

So, that brings up a question. If he had thrown a gun at her head and missed, would the gun cease to be a deadly weapon? How about a knife? A brick? These are the types of hard hitting philosophical questions I like to pose on a Monday. (Speaking of philosopy, if a dog has three legs, does he cease to be a dog? That was a question presented to me in Philsophy 101. I thought it was complete horseshit and a huge waste of time, so I dropped the class and enjoyed a spring quarter with only 12 credits. It was sweet.)

Regardless of the charges, if someone is throwing stuff at your head, whether or not they miss, it's probably time to think about moving on. Especially if they write crappy songs, in ADDITION to throwing shit at you. That's just adding insult to injury. (Oh, yes, pun intended.) Or attempted injury, as the case may be.
