Everything you know about sex is true.

For just 59p, iPhone consumers can download an application that allows them to take a purity pledge and then display a silver ring on their phone to prove their commitment to abstinence before marriage.

Its creator, Island Wall Entertainment, claims the product will appeal to the younger generation and those people who have not already committed themselves to a life of abstinence and chastity.

The application has a pre-recorded pledge for both genders that the user must accept before being able to display their ring on a loop.

The application may also allow school pupils to circumvent uniform rules banning jewellery. In 2007, Lydia Playfoot lost her high court battle to wear her purity ring at school when a judge ruled she had not been discriminated against.

In the US, around 8m people have taken a purity pledge; in the UK, the figure is around 250,000. The country is regularly described as the teenage pregancy capital of Europe, and last week it was revealed that a £6m campaign to cut teenage pregnancies had failed, leading to an increase, rather than a drop, in the number of girls getting pregnant.

Tennis pundits were reportedly red-faced when they had to comment on a match between two players called Wang and King.

The TV commentators had no choice but to say the players' last names one after the other during long rallies.

To make things worse, the Thai Open match between Yeu-Tzuoo Wang and Phillip King was held in Bangkok. A tennis fan watching on TV said: "There were a few moments in the match when the commentators had no alternative but to say their names. It was hilarious."

The Icelandic Phallological Museum - a museum devoted to phallology - is appealing for a human specimen.
