(Is "intertwined" a redundant term? "twined" apparently means the same thing - but it sounds vaguely inadequate... And "inter"twined makes it sound like the legs of two different people; maybe I need an entirely different word...)

I do this all the time when engrossed in reading. And I'm no slender child, but a 60-year-old 180-pound man.
