Things we’re genuinely curious as to whether, and under what circumstances, people have ever been stabbed to death with


Giant novelty scissors for a ribbon-cutting ceremony

The stem of a plant-watering glass bulb

Any of the knives we currently own

O.J. Simpson’s knife

Fetid bamboo shoots

One of those fat kindergarten pencils, sharpened to a deadly point

A hummingbird

A star from the top of a Christmas tree

A narwhal tooth-horn

Rock candy

A Jolly Rancher Stix licked to a deadly point

A laserdisc shard

An incense stick (and if so, what scent)

A nail file—not one of the metal ones, one of the cheap emery-board ones

A plastic cocktail sword

A cocktail umbrella

A lawn dart

A theremin

A kickstand
