I answered for furious_g, actually (I can barely tie my shoes! hee...).
He says he knows many more knots, which he learned in Boy Scouts. Some of the ones from posters below that he says he knows: splicing rope, French whippings, Turk's heads, blood knot, along with a jesses knot (for falconry?), and the timber hitch. As for the more esoteric ones, he cannot think of their names right now (he's playing a game). I'll just take his word for it, since I've seen his facility with rope while we've been doing outdoorsy things like camping. :o)
