The Alien Method (Figure Eight Knot)

Recently my Venturer Unit introduced me to a new (rather violent) method for tying a Figure Eight knot. It is called the Alien Method, and works as follows:

1. Make an alien near the running end of the rope

2. Strangle the alien with the rope

3. Punch the alien in the face

4. Kill the alien by pulling tight

There we have it, a Figure Eight knot and a dead alien.
