[time-nuts] OT loosing things

The LW would explain missing single socks, pens, etc.  The local randomness is probably a quantum effect...

Subject: [time-nuts] OT loosing things 

While repairing my LCD monitor, I took off my glasses so as to be able 
to see better close up as I'm VERY short sighted and even the 
vari-focals my optician prescribes can no longer get me close enough 
to solder properly. Without them on, I can focus VERY close but the 
range is VERY short, being just a few inches. So I completed the work 
involving a few stages without putting the glasses back on just to 
save time but, when I went to grope around and try to find them, I 
could not. So where did I put the blessed things, and after a period 
of serious extended "looking" around, blind panic started to set in. 
What the dickens had I done with them! So I ended up shuffling out of 
the workshop, through the house, stumbling over the dogs, and up to 
the bedroom to, eventually, find my spare pair. On my return to the 
workshop I still could not find the glasses looked everywhere. A cup 
of tea ensued and I took a less panicky search only to find they had 
fallen down the back of some gear, or maybe it was the fairies at the 
bottom of my garden which had done it. I concluded that in my 
"blinded" state of putting them down in the first place, I had 
obviously chosen an poor "safe" place. 

After this I got to thinking and wondered if there is perhaps 
something darker happening here. My current theory is that there is 
something called a Lost Wormhole which moves around randomly and 
removes items from there current place, setting them down in some 
completely different dimension. So the chances of loosing something 
increases in proportion to the time that the item is left somewhere 
due to the increased probability of it being "borrowed" by the LW. 
Now, all is not lost as the LW is a two way pipe and so eventually 
your lost item will be dropped back somewhere in your vicinity but 
probably not where you thought you had left it. To my mind, this seems 
to fit my experience of the way the World seems to work and I'm sure 
there is some law here. 

For the humour challenged, this message is :) rated. 

Please feel free to comment on my theory but perhaps this should be via PM. 

Thank you for your time, 
Steve
