A Tribune photo shows a single broken panel of glass in front of one of Apple’s “giant iPhone” displays. From the photo, it looks as if the brick did not go through the glass, and the display appears unharmed.

Second on the list was the Plain Pie from Lucali pizzeria in Brooklyn, and third place was awarded to the Panna Pie at Pizzeria Delfina in San Francisco.

Chicago Sun Times – Phillip Binder was angry about $2 he said his brother owed him.

So angry, the 33-year-old man stabbed his older sibling to death in front of other family members in their South Side home, prosecutors said.

Phillip Binder first approached his brother Charles outside their home in the 2000 block of West 70th Place, questioning him about the debt early Tuesday morning, Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Mike O’Malley said at Binder’s bond hearing today.

Once the two were inside, Phillip Binder took a large knife from the kitchen and plunged it once into his 35-year-old brother’s chest, according to O’Malley.

After the stabbing, Phillip allegedly told his aunt: “You’re lucky you didn’t die too,” O’Malley said.

The best part? This was over a debt for a crack pipe. I had no idea crack pipes costed so much.

At about 12:45 a.m. Tuesday, a 20-year-old man was driving in the outbound lanes of the Dan Ryan when he lost control of his Toyota Camry and was ejected from the vehicle. He was thrown off the expressway overpass and fell into a Union Pacific rail yard below near the intersection of 25th and Canal streets, Illinois State Police District Chicago Master Sgt. Joe Stangl said.

The man identified as Joseph Dunmars fell about 40 feet, an ISP District trooper said correcting initial police reports.

The man told troopers that his driver’s side door is broken and flew open while he was driving. As he tried to close the door, he lost control of the vehicle, which struck the left wall of the expressway, bounced off and then struck the right wall, Stangl said..

Workers in the rail yard called 911 after they saw him land and he was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County. He was conscious on the scene and doctors at the hospital reported that his injuries are not life threatening, according to Stangl.

Well I guess he did go a little overboard with showing up 4 hours late and telling her that “Sometimes pain is the best teacher”.
