I wash mine. But by hand....I would never<.i> put it in the dryer!
Ah! That one is elementry my friend. Each sock has a set lifecycle, but no two life cycles are the same. A "pair" of socks cannot possess the same life cycle so one expires before the other. Usually the male sock goes first.
Forgot to ping you to #62.
Kind of like fraternal twins.
don’t worry about the dryer.. worry about your washer.
I just don't see the point of sox unless there are two.
aw, what does cosmic matter?
To be sure; which reminds my, I haven't gotten my hands on a copy of WIC yet. Maybe I'll pick one up with my "stimulus" rebate ;^)
Now they have found a surprising, filamental, hot, "gaseous" connection between Galaxies... spanning millions of light years. . . and cannot understand what holds the filaments together over such tremendous distances.
Pretty much the very definition of Birkeland currents, no?
I sit here amazed at the lengths to which the scientific community™ and academia will go to protect their sacred cows. Seems there was a time when anyone caught cooking the scientific books would have been summarily dismissed for malfeasance; today it's rewarded with tenure and grants. In any case, I have to wonder if there's not something more afoot than just protecting one's self interests.

secondhand WIC.
You've gotten me off my butt Fred; done! Thanks for the reminder.
According to the article on Reuters, Dark matter is causing it.
"We think we are seeing the strands of a web-like structure that forms the backbone of the universe," said Mike Shull of the University of Colorado, who helped lead the study published in The Astrophysical Journal.
The matter is spread as superheated oxygen and hydrogen in what looked like vast empty spaces between galaxies.
However, observations of a quasar -- a bright object far off in space -- show its light is diffused much as a lighthouse can reflect on a thin fog that was invisible in the dark.
"It is kind of like a spider web. The gravity of the spider web is what produced what we see," Shull said in a telephone interview. "It's very thin. Some of it is very hot gas, almost a million degrees."
This is where the dark matter comes in. The dark matter is heating up the gas, Shull said.
"Dark matter has gravity. It pulls the gas in," Shull said. "This causes what I call sonic booms -- shock waves. This shock heats it to a million degrees. That makes it even harder to see."
