The latest addiction of mine to foil the wifes attempt at quality time. I'm pretty sure she's about to accept defeat!

I think the question should be what can't you use it for?
Tying just about anything down, making survival bracelets/belts, angling with the cat, the list goes on....
Who doesn't love paracord? I am drowning in the stuff. I have heard it referred to as the duct tape of the rope world! True, very true.
As to the what is it question....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachute_cord

cheers whats the breaking stain ?
I believe it varies by type and the number of threads in the core. Most of what I've used is pretty strong... would hold down a minimum of 100kgs without breaking.
Why not quality time? Some of those bracelets, lanyards and monkey fists take a while to create. Would she help!
I been using it for Boot laces ! It holds fast and hasn't wore out yet.
I gave a couple hundred feet in different colors to a granddaughter and showed her youtube links to make bracelets and lanyards. She thought it was pretty cool. I use it to tie off stuff in the pool when I close it for winter. I've also used it as lawnmower pull cord.
