Another Prichard Theory

I think we were talking about how you can only ever find one sock in a matching pair. Not really sure, but this is what came out of Prichard's mouth:

"I have a theory about that actually. In the future they have invented time travel and the pastime is to go into the past and steal socks."

Only Prichard would have a theory explaining missing socks as the work of time ninjas ! I wonder what the they want with my socks though? I haven't done anything interesting in them, mostly just walked places. Nor is my frustration over having them missing the thing of legends or even amusement. I just buy more socks. If I could be a time ninja I would take some of Napoleon's socks or stockings or whatever it is he wore.

Time ninjas kind of remind me of the Hibraners from 'Postsingular'. Their theft of the cuttlefish is like the theft of socks. The loss of the fish didn't really pose as a concern or even get much of a reaction from people. Craigor spoke of it as a kind of unimportant common occurance. The only person to investigate was Chu.
