Terry Moore: How to tie your shoes

well haven't posted in awhile but love the TED web sight figured most people on here know about it,but for those that don't this cute little article/vid will get you started.As far as this particular vid goes i wonder how many other day to day activities we do have been taught to use wrong by the generation before us? i know i fold my shirts wrong.I also have experienced regional and family ways of doing things can vary greatly.Well my main reason for posting was to expose more people to TED and to have a less of a doom and gloom article for a change www.ted.com...

As a sailor, I know hundreds of knots, and I knew this years ago. You are tying either a slippery square knot, or a slippery granny knot. Most people don't know the difference, and this guy does a poor job of explaining it.
