So. Is there a scientific explanation for why wiring gets tangled so easily? What's the mechanics behind the phenomena?

Rule 32 of the universe, my friend: any amount of cables, wires, threads, lengths of twine, etc, are guaranteed to get tangled together if placed near one another and jostled around. If shook, past a certain measure of knottiness, this will merely tie it up even more.

Can this be explained with entropy, or is it a different kind of deal?

How are the words 'peace' and 'appease' related, exactly?

From Middle English apesen, from Old French apeser (“to pacify, bring to peace”), from a (“to”) + pais, modification of French paix (“peace”).

What's a word to describe that sudden feeling when you wonder that random people you glance over in your quotidienne have lives as complex and long as yours?

you mean the feeling when you understand that your life is like an empty bag of poop compared to others?

What's the easiest, free program I can use to loop a track?

I want to do a couple ten minute loops of classic game tracks to play Chivalry with.

Try FruityLoops, though it's a bit advanced if you only want loops.

And the xkcd is actually pretty much the exact opposite: http://xkcd.com/610/

Audacity is a possibility, though I don't exactly know how to make loops. Most of what I've used it for is fixing the occasional mp3 file taken from a youtube video that is x minutes of content yet somehow also managed to contain 40 minutes of empty space I had to dismember from it.

I imagine you could just CopyPaste the MP3 file into Audacity and then just CopyPaste it within the folder again to loop it, possibly with a little crossfading. :)

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll fuck around with them and find which one I like for looping.

The part of my sources (ripped from youtube,) that I want looped already loop once or twice in the video, so I imagine cutting the portion I want and pasting it a couple times can't be too difficult.

Quite the opposite really. Wonderful world of possibilities and limits waiting to be pushed.
