eHow touts itself as the "The fast and easy way to find out how to do just about anything". So, of course, I had to put it to the test.
After getting no results on "how to take a shower", I did find out "how to tie your shoes". Robert makes a good point by saying "If you've mastered the internet, it's safe to assume you have mastered your shoe-tying skills". Prolly true, but, I think it is funny that eHow doesn't assume that, and gives you a link under Resources to "Have it done".
