Where do socks go
Ah yes, the age old question of where do socks go in the dryer.
After home research I can now answer this. 
What happened in my research was the socks went behind the dryer drum, slowing it's rotation for a couple months, then resuming normal speed. Then what happened next was some went behind the drum again and caught fire, causing a very smokey house.
I put out the fire and bought a new dryer the next day.
So, now you know "the rest of the story"

Re: Where do socks go
So the dryer gremlins needed some extra clothes to use as blankets for the long cold winter.
We do appreciate the research you have done on this subject. Now we can get on with the rest of our household chores knowing the answer.
Thanks

Re: Where do socks go
Socks are aliens, they come down in pairs but one has to return to the mother ship, while the other ones stays here!!!!

Re: Where do socks go
The Lost Socks Gnomes take them to their Gnome Queen, then she sews them into little caps, t-shirts, short pants, and cute, really cute, little Gnome shoes. It really is quite fascinating.

Re: Where do socks go
The mystery of the diappearing socks revealed!
The motion,heat and friction inside your dryer causes A 'tear' in space (as space and time are relative this also causes a tear in time). This creates an Inter-universe wormhole.
Inter-universe wormholes connect one universe with another. such wormholes could be used to travel from one parallel universe to another.Your socks have not disappeared they have simply 'phased' into another reality (one where you will find extra socks in your dryer). Hope that clears that up for ya's

Re: Where do socks go
I'm so glad I read this thread, I'm doing laundry now and was just cursing the fact that I have like ten little socks without mates...what is up with that...all of your explanations are nonsensical but I'm thinking there must be a rift between the pair. One gets pissed off at the other one, moves on to the next sock that doesn't match quite right. The next sock then courts the other one and they move off somewhere together.
The amazing thing is the pile at my house just keeps getting bigger and we couldn't have possibly owned that many matched pairs of socks before (but this part deep down inside of me holds out hope that the socks will some day be reunited so I have a difficult time throwing out the other sock).
Is there an internet sight you can search for lost socks on? What about putting pictures of lost socks on the sides of laundry detergent and fabric softner bottles? Or perhaps just a picture of my face that says, lost mind?
