Whether it is against the law or not I ask you -- How intelligent
is it to teach a knot like this to 11 and 12 year olds.  I have 
seen many stupid pranks pulled by scouts while working at summer
camp and I certainly know that a few of them get out of hand.
Of course, what's the difference between this knot and a good
slipknot which also binds.  i.e. if it happens(I think I know
what everyone is thinking) It can happen without the use of 
a hangman's noose.  


--Note on teaching--just because you can teach it--Should You??
