2738: "Omniknot"

Title text: The Gordian knot is an omniknot tied using every bend in the Ashley Book of Knots, and then for extra security the upper rope at every crossing is connected to the lower with a randomly-chosen hitch.

Omniknot, it's got every single kind of knot...

Is the kid in the viking helmet supposed to be the omnicorn? (A lot of them don't seem to even have horns at all.)

TMBG tend to prefer videos that convey the themes of the song without being too literal. In this case, childhood imagination.
