How to tie your tie (like a Merovingian).
Update (7/6/2009):
Check the comments as Scott has provided an excellent link to a breakdown of the Merovingian’s various ties from the Matrix series!
I’ve always wondered how the Merovingian in the Matrix tied his tie. It’s bothered me for years… I guess it’s that attention to detail that keeps me up coding at 2am in the morning. 
And then (as if through divine intervention) I was sent this video link on youtube…
Yes, I know… I’m a nerd. (But you still love me)
Update: As Rudy commented, in the Matrix, the tie is actually ‘backwards’. Apparently, there are nerdier people out there than me because I totally forgot about that detail. 
Thanks Rudy!
In any case, a link was conveniently provided… (though, personally, I still like the other video.)

A more accurate description of the knot (with the narrow end in front, like the Merovingian had in Reloaded) is described in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tVqtnM8izE

Thanks Rudy! So observant… makes me ashamed to say I was a Matrix fan.
