No joke: Man in India divorces wife over instant noodles

Get your dose of humorous and wacky stories that happened this week.

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach — but not when his partner is serving up instant noodles.

A man in India filed for a divorce after his wife only cooked him cup noodles for every meal every day, local media reported on Wednesday (June 1).

This is one of kooky cases of breakups he's seen, former principal district judge of Ballari ML Raghunath shared with the New Indian Express.

Finders keepers? Not for this woman.

Vicky Odomu, who recently moved into her new home in California, was in need of furniture.

When she struck an incredible deal for free furniture on Craigslist, she didn't expect to find a thick wad of cash in the couch amounting to US$36,000 (S$50,000).

While many would keep the money, Odomu instead gave it back to the owners, saying that she was satisfied with what she had — her three beautiful grandchildren.
