this guy REALLY needs to get out more! (But I thought it was a GREAT answer) :D
"Washing machines rotate at great speed and need to be balanced if they are not to fly apart. Small items in pairs, such as socks, are converted into matter/anti-matter binaries. The other one of the pair is still there. It just becomes undetectable to the human senses. This is known as the Odsoch Phenomenon, after Albert Odsoch (1876 - 1939), a professor at Allesfehlende University, who first noted the phenomenon.
Odsoch was a great friend of Einstein and first proposed the formula that the energy of a body was equal to its mass multiplied by the square of the number of items (it was necessary to take the square of the number of items because of the positive/negative quality of the transformed pair). This was originally formulated as e = ms² (where 's' = number of socks). He eventually tried to extend the theory to all items of clothing which occur in pairs, such as gloves. Trainers had not been invented in those days and later research has shown that there is a critical mass above which the spin cycle needs to be very much greater.
It was his friend Einstein who took the 'great leap for mankind' and applied the theory to ALL matter, using the constant 'speed of light' instead of 'spin speed'. This story explains why he used the letter 'c' for the speed of light: it was borrowed from Odsoch's revised formula where 'c' represented 'items of clothing'. Einstein, in fact, took into account the AREA of cloth involved. Since the formula also involved a speed (which is distance/time), it was necessary to square this figure to arrive at AREA/time². The square of a speed is not very intuitive but is related to acceleration which is, of course, DISTANCE/time².
The invention of tights was directly due to the necessity to attach a pair of stockings to each other so that they could not be converted to a negative/positive pair in this way".
