String theory for beginners

[Airspeed]

The theory is:- "That a given piece of string, left to its own devices, will finish up tangled."

That not only applies to string Mike, but the electric cord of my shaver does the same. it is an art in itself to untangle

Not to mention all those annoying cables for devices. My bugbears are the SLR camera to PC and the Tablet to PC cable which is annoyingly stiff and non coilable. They always get tangled up among all the other things in the thin top drawer of my desk.

"String theory for beginners" - How long is a piece?

If it's just a piece of string, wouldn't that technically be lint..

Hmm, Strings of Christmas tree lights comet to mind. Plus, if your looking to find the dead light in an old string, it will always be the last one you check.

Hosepipes also react similarly, sometimes even with water pressure inside them! Not forgetting of course electric extension leads.......Oh what a tangled........

I just pulled the lint out of my bellybutton and spun it into a piece of string.

I think Joe is stringing us along!
