     Midwest Sperm Bank, USA = Er, spunk swim-team's bad?   
      
      
   The impetus for the anagram, in case anyone's curious or wants to try   
   anagramming the people's names (from the Anna's News Clippings   
   write-up):   
   "   
   Because a hand-written '8' in a donor code resembled a '3', Midwest   
   Sperm Bank erroneously impregnated Jennifer Cramblett with a black   
   man's sperm.  A partial refund was not enough for her and her partner,   
   Amanda Zinkon, who live in predominantly white Uniontown, Ohio.   
   Cramblett filed suit against the company last year for the costs of   
   counselling and relocation to a more diverse community, explaining   
   that she suffers from 'stress and anxiety' even when thinking of   
   daughter Payton having to attend an all-white school. The lawsuit   
   states that simply getting the now three-year-old girl's hair cut 'is   
   not a routine matter': Jennifer must travel to a black neighborhood,   
   far from where she lives, where she is obviously different in   
   appearance, and not overtly welcome'.   
     Judge Ronald Sutter has thrown out the lawsuit, explaining that   
   Cramblett erred in alleging wrongful birth and breach of warranty   
   against providing bad tissue or blood.  He told her that she can file   
   suit again, under a negligence claim.
