Two bunny ears. One tied shoe.

For years I've thought that the way I tie my shoes is the inferior way -- the method that all the dumb kids ended up using because they couldn't do it "right". Well, I was pleased to read this:
"The two most popular methods of tying shoes are the bunny ears and the one-loop wrap. The bunny ears method is easier to understand although it requires more coordination."

Yes, I tie my shoes using the bunny ears method. I have done this since I was 5. People often make fun of me, and on those rare occasions when I have to tie my shoes in public (prior to and following bowling, for instance), I am self conscious. Well, not any more. Apparently the bunny ears way "requires more coordination", to quote again. I don't think there's much more to say on the matter.
