Alright, I have a rant that everyone will agree.  Why do cords always get tangled?  Last night, I put two cords (USB cable and a charger cable for blackberry) on the coffee table, neatly next to each other (in fact, I don't think they were even touching).  They were both kind of in rolls like two bundles.  Then, I wake up this morning, goes to grab the USB cable, and DARN IT, the charger cable is all over the USB cable like they were having some hot steamy time all night.  You know...tangled messed up hair and all.  You guys had to do it in my living room?  Man, and on my coffee table where I eat?  You sicko!!  How can you do this to me?  Have you no shame?!  (yes, I yell at cords.)

This happens with all kinds of cords, and, no matter how neatly they are stored, if multiple wires touch, they will be doing the dirty business.  I don't know how much of my life has been wasted untangling things.  This is the 21st frickin' century, when we are supposed to have flying cars, people going to Neptune, and computers revolting against us, and we can't even solve this simple request? 

Forget inventing usless things like wheels and vaccines.  Make my cords stop doing the dirty deeds!

I hear you. but we have bluetooth, WiFi, and new technologies that power your stuff wire-free. it's already being used on electronic toothbrush and stuff.

Bluetooth? Give me a break. They suck. So much hype for nothing. electronic toothbrush? My lord, put this technology into something more useful like my iPod.

Well, I hope our kids (or grandkids) will be laughing at pictures from 2007 asking us what these "cords" things are. I am sure the day will come.

So true!! My roommates swear that there are gnomes who come out at night who tangle all the cords (After they have gone through the underwear drawer. Oh, wait, that's not the gnomes, that's my perverted neighbor.)

This cracked me up. Did you at least get some little baby cords from it?

Chris, no, they are not that romantic. They are animal-istic. If I had put 3, 4, 5 cords, there would have been a huge orgy of tangled mess. They will "do" whoever walks in to the field of view.[smiley=angry]
8. pissed off at headphones
