This discussion centers on the common phenomenon of household items, particularly measuring cups and socks, seemingly disappearing without explanation. Participants share personal anecdotes about losing measuring cups, socks, and mechanical pencils, with many attributing the losses to everyday occurrences like laundry mishaps or misplacement. Suggestions include checking laundry machines, furniture crevices, and even considering humorous theories like quantum tunneling or sock disintegration. The conversation highlights the universal frustration of misplaced items and the creative explanations people devise to rationalize these occurrences.

The easiest way to stop runnaway measuring cups (and spoons too) is to attach them all together with a metal ring (similar to a key ring). They often come sold with a ring attached. (If you take them off the ring to use them, all bets are off. )I can live with most lost mechanical pencils, as long as my favorite hangs around. It is a Caran D'ache Fixpencil by Proceq SA, Zurich. It is the most low-tech mechanical pencil you can imagine, but it's bulletproof. I still have one of the original Swiss-made leads in it - might be a bear to find replacements these days.Ouabache said:

Break out the lead-ware Martha, and I mean the good stuff; I'll need it all if we're going to get through this night alive...
