 Loved it! You not only solved that great question plaguing fans of LnC but also found all our lost socks. I loved that added detail that Clark put a chair in his wormhole room to help him change his clothes. "Those, my friend, are piles of lost socks. I guess the fast spin on some washing machines opens up tiny wormholes and sometimes single socks manage to find their way through the wormhole to that place. When I first got there the place was littered with them. It took me a long time to bring some order to that place..."  Lots of fun. Nice fun story to start my day. Thanks.

This was GREAT! I loved it  Great story to read while on a break with a bowl of cereal--thanks! (although nearly spit out some cereal laughing when I got to the 'sock' part  ). Thanks for sharing! Laura

This was absolutely brilliant! I loved this explanation for where Clark's clothes go when he spins into to Superman vice versa. But tying in the lost socks reference was utterly inspired! "Those, my friend, are piles of lost socks. I guess the fast spin on some washing machines opens up tiny wormholes and sometimes single socks manage to find their way through the wormhole to that place...."  I practically split my sides laughing! What a perfect tie-in. Excuse any scientific doo-da. I was more interested in the socks... I don't blame you! Thanks for posting this! Really made my day.

What a hoot!
Thanks for explaining where Clark clothes go while he's being super!
The socks were a cool bonus, so that where they go and here I thought it was my dog Dax who hides them!

This is hilarious. Storing the clothes in a wormhole ... along with all the lost socks in the world! If Superman wanted the world's never-ending gratitude (and amazement) he could bring all the lost socks back.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”

LOL I love the wormhole theory. When I read about the great colorful piles, I half expected a Harry Potter crossover to the room of requirement. However, I disagree with the washing macine spin cycle wormhole. The socks are actually consumed by wire hangers. Hey, it takes a lot of nourishment to multiply the way they do. Great story.

Hi Lonnie! "Here you are, Doctor Klein," Clark said as he laid the rock on the scientist's lab table.
"Oh, thank you, Superman!" Bernard Klein's eyes shone as he eyed the rock. "This might help me solve the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle!" Wouldn’t it have been awkward had Clark gotten lost in the Triangle? LOIS: *Awkward*? "Well," Clark started, "it's rather hard to explain, but you of all people should get it, I guess. I can show you, if you have a small camcorder lying around." So, Clark practices regularly in front of Lois and is now happy to show someone else, too? CLARK: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/verschiedene/s070.gif) It was a vast space, dimly lit. Oooh!  Michael

Clark: "So what are you saying? I should go crawling back on my hands and knees?"
Martha: "No, honey. Fly back. It's faster!!"

The lost socks! I love it! (It's even better than the theory that the sock is the larval form of the wire coat hanger.)
