Speedcabling?!

BBC NEWS | World | South Asia | Close to the wire - the joys of speedcabling: "A new 'sport' based around unravelling the mass of wires that can typically be found beneath computer desks the world over is taking off in the western US.

The first 'speedcabling' competition took place in an art gallery in Los Angeles and was won by LA-based web developer Matthew Howell.

The challenge was devised by IT professional Steven Schkolne. Contestants are faced with a tangled mass of six ethernet cables of various lengths. Their task is simply to separate them in the fastest time."

"The geeks will inherit the earth"... not if they spend their time doing this they won't! IT bods wonder why the rest of the world doesn't 'get' them. Who knew they were actually doing things like this to advance the human condition...??

Me, no idea what they're talking about... tum te tum te tum... :o)
