Probably should be in offbeat news, but I think this needs its own attention.
[quote][size=18]German feud inspires boots town[/size]
The German town of Herzogenaurach has been split in half, thanks to a 60-year-old family feud.
Each side has its own bakers, butchers, bars and even schools.

Iraq has released about 600 prisoners, the first of 2,500 due to be set free as part of a national reconciliation initiative by the prime minister.
Nouri Maliki said those freed would be people with no clear evidence against them or who were arrested by mistake.
