Wire coat hangers clone themselves when you are not looking. The stretch and stretch and then break away to form new hangers whenever they are left side by wide in the wardbrobe. The story of the lost socks is another matter. The 'Borrowers' that live under your floor boards use them as sleeping bags. One sock only is required as they are sssooo small and your socks are ssssooo long for them. This is why you are always left with one odd sock.

my theory is that if all the odd socks in the world were put together we still wouldn't be able to find a matching pair! And as for coathangers, don't they breed in the back of the wardrobe?

Love it, ragdoll. Very funny.
I think the only socks that turn into wire coathangers are the ones that went into the laundry as twins and come out suddenly missing a sibling.
And as we all know.....there' s always one........

No, the socks get lost between the two revolving parts of the machine. All will be revealed (and returned!) in the event of a repair becoming necessary. The wire coat hangers come from the dry cleaners, as well you know !!!

I once found 27 coathangers in the bottom of two double wardrobes!
Along with a toothbrush, a spoon, and a whole load of other junk!

The boomerang is actually based on the design of wire coat hangers. Straighten them out before you throw them away and they will stay away. Socks are in fact rarely lost - after a long strenuous day, they become animated and leave home through choice - I believe there is a secret commune in the Scottish Highlands where they all congregate.

I have been conducting a scientific survey of socks. Through electronic tagging I have discovered that socks do not disappear but they do mutate. A matching pair will evolve over a period in time so that they bear little resemblance to each other. I will be publishing my thesis soon in the European Knitwear Journal.

No, socks go to a special place where only one sock out of each pair is allowed to go and nobody knows where it is.
Now, it is different with metal coat hangers. You can grow a culture of them in your closet by just putting one in there. It happens fast after you close the door. That's all I got.

this latest day i'm fairly specific we've a minimum of a dozen or extra socks, often small ones that throughout positive condition 4-3 hundred and sixty 5 days-previous ft, helplessly trapped at the back of the washing gadget drum ... and who knows what proportion others sucked into oblivion from the dryer. My extremely irreverent sister as quickly as reported that as quickly as we get to heaven we get all of our lacking socks back.
