How

Hudson has put together a step by step guide
showing how to tie
the most common knots.
Including all those you were shown repeatedly as a nipper or when you went sailing or scouting but still can't do. Featured is the incredibly useful two half-hitches with an extra turn. Marvellous knot.
How to tie shoelaces. Yes, yes, this is

How to construct a turban.
Going to a party as Gunga Din? Want to spice up your love life? Want to coax a snake out of a basket with a recorder? Want to predict the future? asks Mike Hoover on his er... colourful website.

And having worked your way through those how to's, award yourself a genuine fake diploma.
The Box Free Concepts folk at Magic Mill are 'the official on- line documents publisher for the International Association of Fake Universities (IAFU)'.
