Theories on why one sock disapperas in the dryer.

[Rigs83]

Funny true story of actual scientist shooting the breeze and thinking too hard!

What's your theories on this phenomena?

Note:
I did search and found nothing specific.

There are little holes in space and time that fit socks perfectly.
However, once a single sock is sucked in, balance is restored for a bit, thus sparing the other socks.
EDIT: Dammit! That's too much like their already theorized thing!
Um...
While in the dryer, the heat gives socks their own minds, and they decide to escape slowly, and go form their own cities of sock people.

This doesn't affect me, as I wear mis matched socks.

Micheal Baye. He's stealing our socks to create the secret ingredient for the excessive explosions in his movies.


But I've thought one step ahead: I now pack a copy of 'In The Name of The King' with each load of laundry. My theory is that one crappy director can destroy the other....

Dryers need food too.

I remember a bunch of college scientists/students did a whole semi-serious study on creating anti-gravity with cats. They figured that since cats have a tendency to land on their feet, and toast has a tendency to land on its buttered side why not combine the two. One cat, one piece of toast and one roll of duct tape would result in anti-gravity when the whole mess was dropped.

Liberals. They take our socks and give them to people in a lower sock bracket (lower = gets a sock subsidy.) I'm of the opinion that they should have to pay for their own socks just like the rest of us, but oh no. Cursed redistribution of sock wealth.

Sock ninjas, a similar to earphone nijas. The sock ones can be repelled by using dryer sheets. The earphone ninjas, why thy're just relentless in their angry assault of mysterious and devious theft.

The other sock eats it, because "There can be only one."

Bravo good sir, bravo. I've yet to see a political allegory this outlandish since I used Bingo to describe the failings of Communism and its eternal struggle against Capitalism.

Dryer Gnomes, they sneak in, grab a sock to use as hat, and then scamper away unnoticed.

MAN SERIOUSLY HIGH-LARIOUS. but i laughed more at the anti-gravity cat paragraph.

 

[rickthetrick]

closet masturbaters.

 

[Simalacrum]

I steal them. Every time a sock disappears in the washing machine/dryer, it is infact me tearing a hole in the fabric of space and time to take one of the socks, thn sealing it up again before anyone notices.

I really wish they would start using water-less washing machines, they make me so wet everytime I steal those damned socks...

 

[the_joker1112]

me.

im building a sockit ship.

i just need a few hundred more, and ill be the first crasy basterd that when into space... while useing just socks!

this plan will be way more sucsessful them my "suke" (sock nuke)

Inside the dryer the intermolecular forces are so strong, the very fabric (pun definitely intended) of the universe unfolds (also intended). Your sock disappears into a wormhole and reappears somewhere else in the universe.

those crazy Russians use them to power their assault bears when they carry the cannons, GREAT FUEL FOR DESTRUCTION
