An odd phenomenon

Ah-ha! It's mystic! They gyre and gamble in the wabe, of course!

What's the 'wabe' Icy ?

It's where the slithy toves do it.

They have been threaded with telephone cable. No logic whatsoever to untwining phone cable.

Or computer cables even though they are attached at both ends they still tangle.

The same thing used to happen with my box of paper clips when I worked. Overnight, they would become one tangled mass.

In Three Men In A Boat, Jerome K Jerome said that tow-ropes all have an ambition to become crochet-work... must be the same phenomenon.

Its the eternal motion of the earth or possibly God moving in mysterious ways.

God's a rotten knitter in that case.

Is that what happens in my knick drawer then?

KNICKER!!!!

Knickers to you too kitty.

Not to mention wire coat hangers.

I have some of these Kate, they hang behind my bedroom door.

Be careful, they may breed and you will be overrun by lots of little paper clips.

My jewellery does this and so do the various charger leads. The leads tie knots in themselves if they are quarantined.

Charger leads for me. My wool stash. needles with cotton on in my sewing bits tin.

Ah! perhaps its the Coriolis effect where the motion of the earth turning affects the winds in the different hemispheres.
I wonder if our cables etc. get tangled in opposite directions in the different hemispheres?

Anything metal like cables could also be affected by the the earth's magnetic fields.
Then there are all those electrons zooming around the atoms in our stuff, they could be doing it.
Prove me wrong!

Nellie and a nice lie down should make it better

Thanks Shysal.

I wonder if it is something to do with living close to the Thames as the Three Men in a Boat experienced it too !

I am sounding like that looney Mystic Meg.

I have a coat hanger with an old towel or soft cloth around the hook bit, and I hang necklaces over it and hang it on the tie rack/wire on the wardrobe door.
No tangling occurs overnight or when I'm not looking
