Just to clear up any confusion. I was referring to actual members of the Suborder Serpentes, not members of Homo sapiens that just act like 'em. And by sleep, I meant shared my bed for brief instants, not anything weirder than that.

To remove the coils from cables. Hang from a tree or down a stairwell with a couple of kilos weight attached to the bottom overnight. Next morning it will lie flat.
To coil a cable: do the first coil in your hand the way you normally would, the next coil apply a twist with your fingers so when you lay that coil in your hand the cable passes inside/underneath the previous. This way each coil has a twist opposite the previous and when thrown out, each coil counters the other and the cable will lie flat. see this link for over/under cable coiling techniques Last edited by Parihaka : 07-09-2006 at 23:16 PM. |

I've never really had a very unpleasant flight due to turbulence or anything else. I've had some long, uncomfortable ones, but never anything other than that.
