Hell have no fury like a woman's scorn. These days, not only do you have to protect your assets, you have to protect your avatar. This weekly wtf comes from MSN.com. A 43-year-old piano teacher's sudden divorce from her online husband in a Korean game called "Maple Story" enraged her so much that she logged on and killed his digital persona.

"I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry," she said.

According to the article, the man complained to police when he discovered that his beloved online avatar was dead. Did he find another avatar to love? What's the back story there? We suspect an avatar affair.

The article states that she was charged with illegal access onto a computer and manipulating electronic data. She could face a prison term of up to five years or a fine up to $5,000. Read the full article here.

Will Virtual Weddings Replace Real Weddings?

In a virtual world like Second Life or Maple Story, brides and grooms can get married without the hassles of a real wedding. No buying groomsmen gifts, renting tuxes, or figuring out the seating arrangements. No meddling in-laws or obnoxious vendors.

But grooms miss out on the open bar and cake. And you're not legally married on Second Life or Maple Story. The verdict is in: a real woman beats an avatar any day.

Whether you plan on getting married on Second Life, Maple Story, or (hopefully) in the real world shop for groomsmen gifts at Groomstand.com.
