the centrifuge will - and does - save mucho dineros on the drying
time and money (not the one disguised as a washer though).

I could not live without a washer and dryer in my house. In fact, this year
my old pair bit the dust and I spent aconsiderable amount of time and
money purchasing a new pair with stainless steel drums. I also take the
clothes out after they are mostly dry and hang them to avoid wrinkles...
I also refuse to buy stuff which has to be ironed to look decent, thereby
avoiding ironing all together! I do not like to send my children to
school in wrinkled clothing, nor do I like to wear my own when wrinkled...
just doesn't seem to fit well. However, I have noticed that my children
do not seem to mind the wrinkles...as noticed after examining their drawers.
I may just quit folding the clothes and toss them in like they do...it will
save a lot of time and effort...either that, or make them do their own
laundry!!!! Yeh! that should teach them! And save me work too! Should have
thought] of this before!

Here's a good question: Why do socks disappear in the dryer? I
have a theory that the rapid spinning action occasionally allows a sock
to reach c and warp into the future. That's why you usually find the
missing one later -- you've 'caught up' with it again. ;-)
Further research is needed.

Something has to disappear now and then to provide the source for
the lint production.

Did anybody see the Ren & Stimpy episode where they went into the Black Hole
in space and found out what happened to all the left socks?

Actually, I've discovered that we have a sock monster in our dryer...
Even if I match up all the socks before putting them in, at least
one always disappears...it has to be a sock monster!

I like #54 - makes sense to me! After all, the mass for that lint has to
come from somewhere, right?

I think part of the problem is actually sock mutation. I put a pair of
plain brown dress socks in the drier, one turns greenish, and the other
sprouts ridges, leaving me with two unmatchable socks.

Has anyone ever actually seen these socks do this, or is it just speculation
based on circumstance?

Yes, I once followed a pair of socks through both the wash and dry cycle
(you need very large capacity machines, and lots of dramamine) and watched
them mutate before my eyes. Never saw any vanish though.

Maybe these dryers all have a secret sock compartment -- it could be a
conspiracy with the sock manufacturers, to give them more business.

When I clean the lint trap, I take it out, and there is a *hole* there -
a very black hole. There was a lot of lint around the event horizon,
but little below. Perhaps some socks enter that black hole, and get
crushed to nothingness - or even reappear in another dimension!

Yeah.. on other planets they have too many socks, and all their unmatched
socks start matching spontaneously. Of course.. there's also that nifty
feature they have which adds lint to all their clothing.

I thought you were never suposed to have socks that match...even at our house
where I know I put in 2 socks alike I never get 2 back...and I do most of the
laundry.... I wonder where they go?

When I buy socks I buy a dozen identical pairs - no matching required.

I have about 2 dozen pairs of socks. About as much underwear, too.
You tend to do this sort of thing when doing laundry is something
that requires you to leave the building...

When I was in college, we had working dryers. Of course, seeing how it
seemed like at least two or three were broken at any given time, we ended
up standing on lines for them. Officially we had 6 washers and 6 dryers
for about three hundred people but I don't remember ever seeing them all
working at once.
