All Tied Up In Knots

I had occasion to need to tie a slip knot today, and for the life of me, I couldn't remember how to tie one. I thought, "Well, of course, the Almighty Internet will hold the knowledge I need."

And sure enough, it did, at a site called I Will Knot. Video tutorials on tying a few basic knots, extremely helpful and totally pain-free.

The really fun thing is that I knew a bunch of these knots, but never knew what they were called. I think I would have made a terrible Boy Scout.
