A psychiatric report has ruled that Anders Breivik, who murdered 77 people in a killing spree, is unfit to stand trial. It turns out he's a nutter.

Twenty injured in act of 'competitive shopping&#39

A woman who pepper-sprayed other shoppers at the Wal-Mart in Porter Ranch had armed herself with the caustic spray to gain an advantage in the fight for merchandise at the Black Friday sale.

Excellent. A higher marginal propensity to consume among retarded Americans is precisely what is needed to get us out of this slump. I see this as a strong buy signal for stocks.

Kids collectable games: Gotta catch 'em both

Due to its inventiveness and just all around coolness, I voted 'Invizimals' for the PSP, the best kids game of 2010 right here on G4.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 is the little soccer game that could

In an era where big budget sports games and exclusive deals are stifling competition and innovation, seeing an upstart try to make an impact is admirable. This is really where Pro Evolution Soccer 2012, or PES 2012 for short, comes in, because it's going up against a soccer brand in EA's FIFA that has been in the lead for a long time now. Can PES 2012 close that gap at all?

Attack of the Kirby clones

There are certain rules in Nintendo-dom that simply can't be broken. Mario jumps, Link swings the Master Sword, Samus shoots from her trusty arm cannon, and Little Mac trains in his pink jumpsuit.

I just read Morgue for Whores, Roy Edroso's first novel.

I don't know if you can imagine a plot by Martin Amis, with dialogue by Guy Ritchie, about a crime-fighting dog. Well, it's nothing like that, mercifully. In many ways, it's the opposite of that.

You can buy it here. Three thumbs up. Recommended.

'Driver: San Francisco' a real treat

Driving video games can be separated into two types: simulators, and everything else. The former puts a focus on minute realism, vehicle customization, jaw-dropping graphics and accurate physics. The latter typically throws all of that out the window, and no game proves this point more than Driver: San Francisco.

THE SAFEST INVESTMENT

The only really safe investment is wine, at times like these. If it goes up, you make a profit; and if it goes down you can drink it. Whereas when your shares or your nickel futures crash, that's that. The money has somehow vanished out of existence, as though you had you set fire to a pile of £50 notes.

Just this afternoon, while the bond markets were panicking, I invested in a case of Tesco Lambrusco Rosé Light (was £5 a bottle, now £2.35) and some Peruvian chardonnays (maison fondée en 1998; 39 Clubcard points.) These vintages could easily have doubled in value by the time I retire in 2035.

The key to understanding the Eurozone crisis is this: the ECB aren't incompetent; they are sadists. Until you've grasped that, none of it makes any sense. They want people to starve to death.

On the other hand, it looks as though the ban on monarchs marrying papists may soon be lifted.
