Today's big question.

When doing laundry why to shirts dry so quick, but socks and pants take ages?
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Because heat rises, so my soggy shirt starts to dry but my feet are still wet...  :-\

Because for each shirt there are pairs of socks and pairs of pants. Logically a single would dry twice as fast as a pair.

At the risk of being sensible. 

Because the shirts are of thinner lighter materials which hold less water and allow what they do hold to evaporate more quickly. Socks tend to be of thicker chunky materials (in general).

Its nota question I have ever considered?  I put my shirts , socks and pants in the magic basket in the bathroom, and a few days later they are washed, dry and ironed and back in he correct cupboard or draw.  :)

Yes, I have considered that,  but the difference seems excessive.  Socks would need to be 4 times as dense (4×4×4=64, hence difference. )

Orcs needs to develop a more 21st century approach to household chores.

Why!!

In our house we have Pink jobs and Blue jobs. To stray into the area of Pink jobs is asking for the wrath of Mrs Orcs.

Probably packed in a vegetable oil rather than rendered bacon fat or even a light machine oil.
