I find that most knots form when I put away a neatly coiled extension cord. As soon as my back is turned, POW! Knots galore. Knot fun. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the rotation of the earth and the coriolis effect.
Cairo,
Buddy of mine told me the other day, if he ever went on a plane again, he was taking his 50' dropcord. Of course, I asked why...
He explaiuned that if the plane went down, he'd be alright, cause he KNEW that sucker would get hung up on SOMETHING! :-))
Cheers,
Ray
Tree branches generally cause the knots. A branchless tree would be the cure. Hey, I know some families like that!
