Preacher outs himself as rainbow worrier
The rainbow has become a symbol of LGBT inclusivity and tolerance but evangelical preacher Ken Ham wants to "reclaim" the "true meaning" of the rainbow. His Kentucky Ark Encounter Park features a replica of Noah's Ark with animatronic animals and, during Christmas, the park lights up the Ark with rainbow colours, as a one-off "treat". Last week Ham announced that the park will "enhance the rainbow lights and make them a permanent feature during evenings at the Ark". Far from being a symbol of gay pride, Ham insists that the rainbow symbolises the fact that "God judged sin with a global flood, but that He promises never to judge again with a global flood - the final judgment will be by fire."

The damaging truth about toilet roll hanging
John from Green Bay writes: "Mike Hosking was pontificating on Seven Sharp on whether people mount their toilet rolls with the paper coming off the front, or back of the roll [didn't Paul Henry cover this already?]. He suggested it was a random choice people made. Little does he realise that there is a logical reason for having the paper come off the front of the roll [do tell, John!] when it comes off the back of the roll, the finger nails of the user, over time, damage the wallpaper/paint on the wall of the loo directly behind the toilet roll."
