Not once in the last 15 years have I had to re-tie my shoes. The secret is a simple double-knot. It takes only a moment more and saves you time in the long run.</p> </blockquote> <p> There are two ways to tie a knot in a shoelace.  One is a square knot and the other isn’t. When you are done, if the loops (the “bow”) goes across your foot, you’ve tied a square knot.  If the loops want to lay perpendicular to your laces, then you’ve tied a so-called “granny knot.”  The square knot will stay tied all day long, the granny knot won’t.  So instead of tying two knots, you could tie one good one.</p>http://tumblr.zanshin.net/post/29814890http://tumblr.zanshin.net/post/29814890Tue, 25 Mar 2008 11:44:36 -0500<img src="http://media.tumblr.com/ban5MNFKQ703efi2hZJcIHTA_500.gif"/><br/><br/>A map of the ground traversed by Apollo 11 superimposed over a major league baseball diamond.
