Friday Funny: Divorcing Couple Cut House in Two

"'It is the strangest thing I've ever seen,' said May Titthara, who wrote about the case for The Phnom P'nh Post, an English-language newspaper in the Cambodian capital. "People there never saw this happen in a divorce. It is very interesting for them.'
