” You know, you put 10 socks in the dryer and only 9 come out.”
Read a short scifi story years ago. Some engineer was tired of the missing sock in the dryer. Did some calculations and figured out that at just the right heat, spin and static electricity charge a hole into an alternate universe opened up in the dryer just big enough for a sock to go thru. Somewhere someone was putting in 10 socks and getting 11 out.
