"Help me! I can't control myself! I read a book!"

"A man accused of stabbing eight people in a central Moscow synagogue has confessed that he was driven by anti-Semitic sentiments, prosecutors said Friday."

You don't say? And here I was thinking that this was a very unsuccessful attempted robbery.

"The suspect said he had been under the influence of books and Internet sites, and added that he could not control himself." Inquiring minds would also like to know if there were any aliens or anal probes involved.
