Best restaurant in Denmark... FOR FOOD POISONING!

63 people had food poisoning at a Danish restaurant dubbed the world's best eatery, it has emerged. Health officials said diners at Copenhagen's Noma restaurant, which opened in 2004 and topped Restaurant Magazine's list of the world's 50 Best Restaurants in 2010-12, fell sick over a five-day period in February, suffering from vomiting and diarrhoea. It was not clear what caused the outbreak, but reports say the source may have been a sick kitchen employee. The restaurant has apologised, but I won't be eating there any time soon, and it's not just because of the food poisoning. It's also because of the price (Noma charges up to 1,500 kroner for a menu without drinks) and because Europe's too far away. Also too far away, football's world governing body Fifa has written to the Nigerian Football Association over claims lesbians are now banned from playing football there. Dilichukwu Onyedinma, chair of the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL), was quoted as making the statement. "Any player associated with it will be disqualified," she is quoted as saying. While contravening Fifa's anti-discrimination policies, the situation is made more complicated because homosexuality is illegal in Nigeria. Currently, a Same-Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Bill that specifically outlaws same-sex unions is awaiting a signature from president Goodluck Jonathan to go in to law. He'd better not sign that, because if he does, gatherings of homosexuals or any other support for gay clubs, organisations, or unions - whether in secret or in public - will be banned, with same-sex couples facing up to 14 years in prison. And speaking of prison, an Ohio man who was exonerated after spending 13 years in prison for murder cried as a federal jury found that two Cleveland police detectives violated his civil rights by coercing and falsifying testimony and withholding evidence that pointed to his innocence. The jury's verdict on Friday, which included awarding US$13.2 million to David Ayers of Cleveland for his pain and suffering, brings an end to the legal battle he's been fighting since his arrest in the 1999 killing of 76-year-old Dorothy Brown.
