Years ago a lot of the old 2 way technicians used to tie a couple of knots in the A/C power cord because they believed it cut down on lightning damage thru the power line.
Hmmm, don't have ANY data to dispute that, but my gut reaction is that it will have very little effect on lightning induced surges. That is a relatively low frequency phenomenon and a simple knot in a cable will not have very much inductance. But, I may be wrong. :)
