Tell Me!

Where are all those other matching socks?!!! How can we continue to lose one of a pair over and over and over?

C'mon ladies! Tell me the laundry secret here.

Is it a dryer & clothing manufacturers' conspiracy?

Or is it some sort of parallel universe, wormhole in space thing?

LOL!

let me know when you figure it out, okay?!!! :)

:) Sometimes they never make it to the wash at all and are hiding under the bed. But according to a certain appliance repair man (because I am geeky enough to listen to public radio), they are most often lost between the drum and the casing in the washing machine. The water level goes too high, and small items get tossed up over the edge and fall in behind where you can't see them.

Or was that a rhetorical question?

I would like to know the answer to that Q? :)

Buy them all the same color...then it doesn't matter if one of them is lost. You always have another "one" to go with it....

It appears missing sock theories abound.

Everything from mechanical to the vsgurie of houe keeping. I lean toward a explanation of quanutm physics not being governed by randoms kinetic influenceses, I suspect socks being dissolved to their bsisc quanta, and absorb Hawkingg radiation emitted by mienieature black holes. The smalls brief fabric attaracts ab]nd caprtures that energy. At this point the energy becomes dark and are atrracted to each other.. a d astheir mass grows theyreach a ritcal leel here the inerey must take for.

They sock quata reach ene thergy equvianlt of critical mss,and their soinning thows and flimgs the sdark energy into soae where theur currents interact ith normal matter, oushing againt the grvitic effet and causing the effect we call dark energy througuthoutthe universe'm causing the eventual ep=xoansion and dissolution of theunvierse.

proposal: NANITES. We create miniature robots to by included in launadry soap. As the they do their work, the nanites seek their partners matters, dropping choises if on it is deterimoned a better match is founl

th socks are spiraled out of the polar regions of these tiny blackholes and ss they slip through the uiverse and we see them as dark energy, driving the fores of gravity apart.

If this theories proves true, then we cannot not only stoop the exansion of the universe, we can stop the frustration of missing socks, and clothing, we can slow the effetcs of entropy, but save us a forune at the clothig store.

So... Let u determine to prevent these sock from slipping toward primordial.

SAVE THE UNVERSE!!!!
Clip you dirty sick together in the wash!

They have gone ahead to the Sock Mountain of God.

And there they lie, fluffy. ;)

lol... It's easier to believe in black holes than to check under the bed.

The machine is infested with sock gremlins. We have them here in Italy, too. The nerve of these pests! They take only one of a pair, they never take the single ones that were previously left behind!
