        @jon-nyc I asked a friend who used to work in the mortuary business....

        "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              Pro tip: If you can find a wider piece of yarn that's a bit flat, that works better.

                "The concept design of the layout begins with a steep-angled lift to the 510-metre (1,670 ft) top, which would take two minutes for the train to reach. Any passengers that wished to get off could then do so.[3] From there, a 500-metre (1,600 ft) drop would take the train to 360 kilometres per hour (220 mph), close to its terminal velocity, before flattening out and speeding into the first of its seven slightly clothoid inversions.[3] Each inversion would have a smaller diameter than the one before in order to maintain the lethal 10 g to passengers while the train loses speed. After a sharp right-hand turn the train would enter a straight, where unloading of corpses and loading of new passengers could take place.[3]"

                                      @jon-nyc it's called an "electrician's" or "underwriter's" knot:

                                      Used in lamps and things like that.

                                        That looks wrong. The two cables are supposed to be part of a bigger cable, and that bigger cable is supposed to be fixed by the two screws.

                                          @klaus a lamp cord has two wires, as you say, joined in a "cable." One has to split them apart to wire the lamp cord:
