AURORA, Ill. (UPI) – Three Kane County, Ill., inmates have filed a $2 million lawsuit, claiming the jailhouse food is “distasteful and disgusting.”

A sheriff’s department official said officers eat the same food and not one of them has complained, The Beacon News in Aurora reported Monday.

However, not only do the three inmates claim the food is often cold and the baked goods “soggy,” their suit also contends the calories and nutritional value are “not up to par.”

“We can’t serve a cajun chicken breast,” said Lt. Pat Gengler. “Our officers eat the same food as the inmates, and I have yet to hear an officer complain about soggy cookies or bland food.”

Meals are somewhat generic because they have to be served to a large, diverse population, he added.

The suit, filed against Sheriff Pat Perez, says the meals are provided by Aramark Food Service. The civil suit was filed in Kane County Court by inmates Michael Nance, Devalius McDonald and Deandre Clemons.

Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: “Free to good home. You want it, you take it.”

For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it.

He eventually decided that people were too untrusting of this deal. It looked to good to be true, so he changed the sign to read:

“Fridge for sale $50.”

The next day someone stole it.

An upcoming firmware update for Memor32 – the PS2 modchip on a memory card – promises to allow your non-chipped PS2 to play your entire collection of games from the comforts of a roomy, capacious USB hard drive. A group of Russian hackers named Memento are responsible for the firmware handiwork, allowing hard drive-based playback of your entire collection of PS2 discs for easy access, TiVo-style. Sure, the unscrupulous amongst you may use your Memor32’s new found powers for evil, but we just want to fire up Shadow of the Colossus without leaving the couch.

LONDON (AP) – Twins who were separated at birth got married without realizing they were brother and sister, a lawmaker said, urging more information be provided on birth certificates for adopted children. A court annulled the British couple’s union after they discovered their true relationship, Lord David Alton said.

“Everyone has a right to knowledge about their lineage, genealogy and identity. And if they don’t, then it will lead to cases of incest,” Alton told The Associated Press during a telephone interview Friday.

Alton first revealed details of the unusual case last month during a five-hour debate about a bill that would change regulations about human embryology.

“I was recently involved in a conversation with a High Court judge who was telling me of a case he had dealt with,” Alton said according to a transcript of the Dec. 10 debate. “It involved the normal birth of twins who were separated at birth and adopted by separate parents.

“They were never told that they were twins. They met later in life and felt an inevitable attraction, and the judge had to deal with the consequences of the marriage that they entered into and all the issues of their separation.”

Alton gave no additional details and would not reveal the name of the judge who told him about the case.

The High Court’s Family Division declined to discuss or confirm Alton’s account about the twins.

Alton, an independent legislator who works at Liverpool’s John Moores University, said the siblings’ inadvertent marriage raises the wider issue of the importance of strengthening the rights of children to know the identities of their biological parents, including kids who were born through in vitro fertilization.

Under British law, only a mother has to be named on a birth certificate. Such certificates also are not required to identify births that result from IVF or to identify the sperm donor.

In addition, British law does not require parents to ever tell children that they were the result of donated sperm.

Alton believes this should be changed.

Alton said he favors an amendment to the Human Fertility and Embryology bill – which is still being debated in the House of Lords – that would require birth certificates of children born from donated sperm to say that and to identify the genetic father.

Referring to the twins’ case, he said: “If you start trying to conceal someone’s identity, sooner or later the truth will come out. And if you don’t know you are biologically related to someone, you may become attracted to them and tragedies like this may occur.”
