Here’s one explanation for the vanishing sock problem (this also explains proliferation of wire hangers):
Bear’s Law(tm):
They (hangers) are transmuted matter comprised of the socks you lose when you come home from the laundromat with an odd number, having taken only pairs to said establishment.
In the presence of certain catalysts which occur in detergent, the unstable leftsock/anti-leftsock pair interacts, resulting in the decay of one of the component socks into hanger emission. When hanger emission is slowed by a closet chamber of adequate density and thickness, it is transformed into a wire hanger.
This process can take place over large distances, and the hangers in your closet were not necessarily generated by your own socks.
Author Sandra Felton postulates an intermediate larval stage in the form of paper clips.
I've been cartooning since I was a teenager, and have been published in magazines ranging from AASHTO Quarterly to the LDS Church magazines and several other periodicals, trade publications and newsletters.

Zarahemla Times is about a family living in the suburbs of Zarahemla in the time frame of about the end of Alma or Helaman in the Book of Mormon. Or so.
Jacob, the dad, is the local reporter, editor and distributor of the Zarahemla Times.
Sariah, the mom, keeps everything running around the home. She's second counselor in the Relief Society.
Naomi and Kib are their two children. Naomi is a typical 16-year-old girl, likes boys and enjoys school. Kib is 11, and is maybe a little too smart for his own good.
Jacob's mother lives with the family as well. They call her Gramma, and no one is quite sure if she's dotty or not...the important thing is that she's an awesome cook.

I totally sympathize with Sariah. I honestly believe my laundry breeds in the hamper.
Except for the socks, which go AWOL.

I saw an article yesterday that would seem to back up that theory: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/emergingtech/15-billion-the-value-of-a-box-of-girl-scout-cookies/2701
