Quoting starkers, reply 24I've been thinking, if a piece of string comes up and inch short for my needs, would a rope suffice?

And if so, would starch aid in performing Indian rope tricks?
I piece of rope is not longer than a piece of string, it's just wider. I suppose that makes your second question void.

Are you sure it's not longer?  And if it's not, how about I tie two pieces together?

Also, would snap freezing the rope make Indian rope tricks easier than starching it?

If you use hemp rope....is it always a little bent?

does karma really ever get round to bitches? ..or we just make ourselves feel better thinking it does..

Well, it may seem like it does at times. But it's really just random occurences.

You build up your own karma, and you are the one to eventually administer whatever is coming for you. There's nothing more to it.

You be the judge of the accuracy of this. It's how I see things. It's a result of the insane amount of thining I've done over the years.

not a bad answer....not bad at all.....

you have a knack for this....as well as a cool sense of humour...

Dunno... but you'd have to be a little bent to climb one in a Indian rope trick..

Personally, I'd have it attached to a sky hook to be sure... wouldn't wanna get 3/4's the way up and have it go limp, hey!

If you manage to tie two pieces of rope together, I'll be impressed, but it won't be any good for the indian rope trick, the knot will upset the balance.

If you travel into space in a perfect straight line, you'll eventually end up where you started. It means the universe itself is bent.

Thank you. Your questions and replies make me look good.

A friend of mine actually nicked me "Guru Diwanji" a few years ago after I explained my theories about the universe (and meaning of life) to him. I have been considering starting to blog about that for some time now, but I have a true fear about some people actually taking it to heart and follow it religiously. Not that I believe anything that might cause harm, but people who accepts all or nothing in belief scare me. There's nothing factual about the meaning of life, it's all speculation. Things get dangerous when people forget that, no matter how harmless it may seem. Besides, it's darn hard to put it all in writing and maintain some kind of logical order to it.

I think too much, I really do.

Ah, but what if it's a reef knot?

Before I got kicked out of the boy scouts for letting the girl guide, I was told a reef knot tied perfectly had balance and strength.

The knot, yes. The rope, no.

If x and y are two integers such that 1540x + 763y = 7, what can be all possible mumerical values for x and y ?

The knot, yes. The rope, no.

Oh well!  Now if you were to play the musical piece backwards during an Indian rope trick, would the rope instead burrow into the ground?

If x and y are two inetgars such that 1540x + 763y = 7, what can be all possible mumerical values for x and y ?

Ah, another case of getting someone else to answer those difficult homework questions?

I've previously said I'm not a calculator. That fact has not changed. Buy matlab or something.

If you construct the trick in a way that the music is relevant to the direction of the rope, it's quite possible that you could use it to find oil.

Or just end up in the sewers.

Yup grandpa can you solve this. Suppose your grandkid asks you to teach it to him. Won't you teach him.

Its not a mere calculation.. it has some logic behind this... so I thought it had qualified to be asked here..

Logic? Who mentioned logic?

Do bananas peel better from the top or the bottom?

You are shopping with a 4 year old, he asks for a certain box of cereal, you say no, how long before you are in the car and on the way home?

I like to peel them from the top, that's all that counts.

Depends if the kid opens his mouth, or remembers what happened the last time he asked.  I'm old school........screw Dr. Spock.

Not really.

There's no answer to that. People are different.

If this is the "Ask Mickecko" thread, why do others feel the need to answer questions intended for you?
