For at least 50 years the modern world has struggled with a nagging mystery. Where do those darn socks go once you put them in the dryer? If you put 8 pairs of socks in the dryer you only get 7-1/2 pairs back. This mystery has baffled mankind until now.
I stumbled upon the possible answer quite by mistake. I was actually trying to find out where cups, plates, spoons and forks go. Our dishwasher seemed to be dissolving them. The more we put in the dishwasher the less we put in the cupboard and drawer. As it turns out the there is a simple explanation for our dish disappearance phenomenon. Our dishwasher is also a "Dirty Dish Teleportation Unit" or DTU.
We knew when we purchaser our machine that there were features we didn't understand. I have determined that one of these feature is the "I'm too full" feature. If we load too many dishes in our dishwasher a certain number of them are teleported into our basement and accumulate on a night stand. Now it's interesting that the teleporter feature just works on dirty dishes. However, you wouldn't want clean dishes being teleported into the basement, they would just get dusty and they would have to be cleaned again. I guess Maytag is trying to be green. Anyway mystery solved!
I'm assuming that the same thing goes for my socks I just haven't found the teleportation location. Hmmmm.... Maybe I should look in the same room :-)
So has the world's greatest mystery been solved???

umm ... about the sock thing ... there's a small chance that you could find those in the room across the hall ... not that I'm admitting guilt because I'm not.
