Here's one for shoelaces:

Never thought there was so much to know about the art of tying shoes etc.

What have you got?

That would have been a handy website when I was a kid. Being left handed my parents didn’t have a clue as to how to teach me to tie my own laces.

One day I wanted to go out and asked mother to tie my laces. “I’m popping next door for a minute and will do them when I get back “ came the reply.

By the time she finally came back, ~1hr later, I had taught myself.

Don’t get diverted by, Insulators

I am surprised by that, but not shocked! :okay:

Reminds me of this...

I went for an interview at the then Lanchester Poly in Coventry in 1974. I remember being shown round a rather scary basement in which lots of transformers were humming away. There was a big Faraday cage inside which a large ceramic insulator stack was hanging. The kind of thing that high voltage cables hang from under pylons. In fact, those humming transformers were supplying very high voltages to cables hanging from the insulator.

The lecturer giving us the guided tour had a rather impish grin on his face when he asked me to press a button which caused brine to be sprayed over the insulator. The resultant miniature lightning bolt which arced over the insulator made me and the other would-be electrical engineering students leap 3 feet into the air in terror!

I made a mental note to stick to studying electronics and to leave the high voltage stuff to people of a less nervous disposition! :laugh:
:eek:
