Last Friday, State police arrested a 21-year-old World of Warcraft gamer who had driven to Madison, Wisc. to kill a 17-year-old rival, according to reports. Staties arrested Gloucester gamer Trevor L. Lucas on the Mass. Turnpike just outside of Boston on a warrant out of Wisconsin. They reported that Lucas was packing a real arsenal: "four semi-automatic hand guns - two of which were loaded - along with four loaded, large-capacity magazines, two stun guns, three pepper spray containers, two assault knives, two expandable police batons and seven sets of handcuffs."

In a sensible move, the city council has finally voted to unregulate things that don't really need regulating, okaying sidewalk dining year-round (though why anyone would want to be outside in Boston for the cold half of the year remains uncertain). Next thing you know, maybe there will be beer in 7-Eleven! Or items sold without price stickers! It's almost unthinkable! Anyway, to accompany the announcement of the new outdoor dining anarchy, the Globe assembled a gallery of outdoor dining spots, which actually does a decent job of pointing out places not on Newbury. What it doesn't do, however, is show a knowledge of how to spell Wisconsin, thus earning the gallery a place in the typo of the week hall of fame/shame/spellcheck.
