Need Help

I've lost my kitchen scissors. Do you have any idea where I might have put them?

  2. Did you check the knife block? Mine are sometimes there....

    Or the bottom of the hanging basket.

  3. if your house is anything like our house, they are definately NOT in the kitchen.

    Livingroom, under the couch.
    The boy's room, under the laundry (clean or dirty not sure).
    The office.

  4. Last year, the hardware store had a good deal on scissors (they were about a dollar apiece), so I bought a dozen of them and put them in the kitchen.

    At this moment, I still know where two of them are. So, it sort of helped.

  5. We have two normally in the kitchen. Note that these are not our professional cooking shears, who also seemed missing. By the end of the evening, we still had not found them. My daughter is usually the prime suspect, but none of her schoolwork had required cutting.

    I suspect there's some undiscovered Law of Physics at work here. Perhaps scissors play an important role in gravity.

    Maybe they went out for a run, seems like nobody will run with them any more...

  8. I was thinking more along the lines of a temporal displacement.

  9. Hmm. Temporal displacement. So they are gapped out of the timeline at the points where you need scissors, but are present at all other times? Or maybe all scissors are displaced to some point in the future, so that sometime when you don't need any scissors, suddenly every pair you ever owned will reappear?
