split house
Cambodian couple splits, divides their stuff (including their actual house)
The couple (in a village about 50 miles from Phnom Penh) had decided to divorce after 40 yrs, and neither thought it was a good idea to continue to live in the same house. Husband's friends came over, moved the wife's stuff to one side of the house, then helped him saw off the other half and relocate it to the other side of the village (and yes, there's a photo). [Ed.: Two yrs ago, a New York City couple walled off their townhouse so they could continue to share it, but sawing it in half is hard-core.] Daily Telegraph (London)
