An e-mail was sent around LGC, a scientific-analysis firm in Teddington, south-west London, asking male staff to donate semen by visiting the men's toilets "on the first floor nearest to Block 1 between 10am and 5pm".
It said: "Sorry for the e-mail, but the Crime Scene DNA Lab needs some semen samples for making practice forensic exhibits and for training in DNA extraction techniques."
Last night, it was unclear if any staff had contributed. A spokeswoman said: "I haven't had any confirmation about that." - Guardian (B A Jackson)

A British website, Convicts Reunited, was originally intended to be a spoof of sites such as Friends Reunited. However, it attracted 3,000 registered users and the developers are now taking it seriously. - Globe and Mail (Brendan J O'Byrne)
