A knot refers to any interlacement of one or more pieces of rope, and include bends and hitches (according to Webster's 9th). Regarding the hangman's noose, I learned it from my Scoutmaster's son (who taught me most of my knots). My Scoutmaster was horrified. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | The opinions expressed above are my own and do not necessarily | | represent those of The Aerospace Corporation, El Segundo, CA. | | | | Kraig R.
