If you like pina colada, getting caught in the rain ...

I was reading the new issue of The Week (which, by the way, is my favorite newsmagazine ever, EVER, it's like the Reader's Digest for news. My dad and I fight over it when it arrives every week) and saw an interesting story right out of a Rupert Holmes song:

Budding Jordan cyber love ends in divorce

A budding romance between a Jordanian man and woman turned into an ugly public divorce when the couple found out that they were in fact man and wife, state media reported.

Separated for several months, boredom and chance briefly re-united Bakr Melhem and his wife Sanaa in an Internet chat room, the official Petra news agency said.

Cyber love blossomed between the pair for three months and soon they were making wedding plans. To pledge their troth in person, they agreed to meet in the flesh near a bus depot in the town of Zarqa, northeast of Amman.

Upon seeing Sanaa-alias-Jamila, Bakr-alias-Adnan turned white and screamed at the top of his lungs: "You are divorced, divorced, divorced" -- the traditional manner of officially ending a marriage in Islam.

"You are a liar," Sanaa retorted before fainting, the agency said.

Heh. I guess they're not headed for the dunes on the cape.
