Did God tangle up my computer cords?

I spent about 10 minutes untangling them, they were in this unbelievably complex knots that I would have had trouble creating if I tried. How did they get like that? Did they tangle themselves? Unlikely. It must have been God.

Either the god of tangling things, or the god of cords. I'm not sure how to determine which deity is at fault here.

I find that the yarn gods in general require me to worship them by purchasing a lot of yarn, the then the gods of yarn entanglement cause my yarn to get incredibly tangled, when I am doing nothing special at all, just minding my own business and crocheting. Sometimes I spend more time untangling than crocheting.

Generally speaking, the technology gods do not like me, and cause technology to misbehave around me. On the other hand, the parking gods positively adore me, and create ideal parking spaces for me with incredible consistency.

It was He who worked His will, to tangle your cords like spaghetti, so that ye wouldst believe in Him. So it is written in the Gospel according to Parmesan. As a Pasta-r in the Church of His Noodliness, I call upon you to give your life to Him, that ye may find your salvation in His sauce, which was shed for you!

RA-men!

...never ceases to amaze me.

I just hate it when I get outsmarted by inanimate objects--and it happens so frequently these days.....

There have been others but they have fallen out of favor.

Or been "dropped" as knitters would say.

Gonna set up a camera in behind my desktop, set to take a picture every minute and let it run for 6 months. Then I'll analyze the pictures fast forward x4 and see what happens to those little bastards.
