Why when you put piece of stone in a glass full of water an amount of water is spilled out of the glass?

anything with matter takes up space. two objects cannot occupy the same space, I mean it wouldn't be funny if that guy not paying attention just walked through the pole instead of smashing into it right? So, when you drop a rock in the cup, the cup still only has the same amount of space to give up, but now the rock and the water are competing for that space. Well the rock is denser, so it sinks, pushing the water out of the way and causing it to rise. If you want to see this happen where the water wins, try putting a ping pong ball in the glass. You'll notice now its the water that remains in the glass and the ball that is sticking out of the cup.

Why the glass of water overflowed if stone dropped?
If the glass is even partially filled a stone thrown at sufficient speed will splash water below the kinetic energy of the stone will be dissipated by transferring it to the water. However if the stone is gently dropped into the glass of water (and it was full or nearly full) then the stone which is not soluble in water will displace an amount of water equal to its volume which will overflow.

Why does a stone shatter glass while a bullet makes a neat hole?
A bullet travels at really high velocity and therefore the glass does not have enough time to bend due to the force and shatter instead the bullet just damages the area it gets in contact with and thus making a hole in the glass. Whereas a stone travels at a low velocity and the glass has enough time to bend and shatter
