About the nylon + sharpie.
According tohttp://www.chem.agilent.com/...neric.ASP?lPage=6111, it resists propanol (nylon 66)
According to http://www.mossrubber.com/pdfs/Chem_Res.pdf, it resists butanol (funny thing, according to that same website, beer may be not so good for your rope; it had a rating of "good", as opposed to "excellent")
Finally, this website http://www.techniquesfluides.fr/...F-Guide%20Flojet.pdf, says that it resists diacetone alcohol, butanol, and beer, but it says that there's "minor to moderate effect (generally satisfactory, but should be qualified by testing)" with propanol
So there you have it folks, the answer to the sharpie-on-rope question. Once and for all.
(edit to say: nylon also resists chlorox bleach, chocolate syrup, sesame seed, salad dressings, urine, water, turpentine, gasoline, tomato juice, soy sauce, sewage, and many other things, although apparently not coke  )
