For every sock the dryer loses, a random Tupperware lid appears in the kitchen.
“For every sock the dryer loses, a random Tupperware lid appears in the kitchen.”
Read a short Science Fiction story some years ago, about a guy who was a quantum mechanics type scientist. He kept losing socks in the dryer. He kept careful count but every 3rd load or so would be missing a sock. After doing some calculations he realized that with just the right spin, heat and static electric build up a portal into an alternate universe would open up on the dryer basket big enough for a sock to go thru. It would collapse after one sock. He was losing a sock but somebody was gaining one, thus at least not violating any Newtonian, etc laws.
