Vibrating Socks
From Mentalfloss: “Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee are trying to revolutionize the way Americans dry their clothes. They’re working on an ultrasonic dryer that vibrates moisture out, instead of evaporating it with heat, making the dryer more efficient and safer to operate.”
Vibrating clothes? It’s like a dance party for your laundry. Isn’t science great? [more]
RIP Don Featherstone
The inventor of the plastic lawn flamingo passed away yesterday. The world will be a darker place.
Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. Hope you got yours some great socks.
Where Do Lobsters Keep Their Socks?
In the clawset. Today is National Lobster Day!
Did you know that, until recently, lobsters were considered peasant food and fed to prisoners?1
Or that lobsters have blue blood?2
Or that lobsters can live up to 70 years?3
What a wonderful, and delicious, animal.

I had a little sock tree
I had a little sock tree
Nothing would it bear,
But some little red socks,
And what a scruffy pair.
*
The queens of England’s son,
Came to visit me,
All because of
My little sock tree.
*
When he saw my sock tree,
And the scruffy pair.
He staggered back, aghast,
At the colour, rare.
*
He said, they are fine socks,
I must have them – I must,
How much do you want,
For the pair, he asked.
*
I told him that my socks,
Are not for sale – are not,
He replied, I must have them,
I’ll pay a pretty bob.
*
How much will you pay?
I asked, intrigued, a bit,
He said, I’ll pay ten thousand pounds,
Here they are, I said.
