Inanimate objects and interdimensional travel
 

I've had a Saniflo Sanishower tor over three years to pump waste from a
garage sink to the main foul water pipe about 120cm above it. It has
worked perfectly. during that time.

It is in a double-cupboard under the sink, which I guess was the
previous owner's kitchen reject when a new kitchen was installed years
ago. This morning I noticed a smell in the cupboard - that slightly
sewer-like smell of standing wastewater. I checked the pump inlet and
outlet, and the area around the pump, but there was no water to be seen.
It was then I noticed that a cap on top of the pump body (probably
covering an air-bleed to the pressure switch) was missing. That cap is
white plastic, about 4 cm in diameter, and a cm or so deep in the centre
where it fits into a hole on the top of the pump. I've taken everything
out of that cupboard and looked around it, but that bloody cap is
nowhere to be seen! There is no way it could have broken and fallen into
the pump body. So where is it? In a parallel universe?

Anyway, I contacted Saniflo and a new cap is on its way. Their support
was excellent.

Yep. Happens quite a lot. And especially to me.

Same place as all the biros and odd socks.

Have you had anyone cleaning in the place recently? The common solutions are
the right ones. Its been found and binned as probably belonging to some
bottle no longer used since most people will not have seen the item away
from its normal place. Chances are it went brittle and was broken which was
why it fell out.

Usually screwdrivers for me. Sit on the floor and remove an accessory
from a back-box; disconnect cabling; open packaging of replacement
accessory; look for scrwedriver that I have just been using and it has
moved to the far side of the room. I am sure that I have remained seated
at the same location throughout, so how has it moved?

There is a theory somewhere that if all the biros and socks lost were
simultaneously found and stacked, humans would have to migrate and live
on another planet.

Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early
twenty-first centurys developed world went into hysterical panic over a
globally average temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and,
on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer
projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to
contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.

Come on Brian! This is the garage we are talking about - known in many
circles as the "Man Cave". Cleaning? If that's what I think it means,
then no. No cleaning. And I'd looked in the cupboard for something else
a couple of days previously, and there was no smell, so the loss of the
cap was very recent. It'll probably turn up miles away some time in 2029
if the worm hole reappears.

Somewhere closer than we imagine, in a parallel universe, a person just
like you heard a noise behind him. He looked around and saw your cap
spinning across the floor. It came to rest. He picked it up. Where had it
come from? Out of thin air?? Surely this was impossible; a complete
mystery!

It's called an apport.

Ask the wife. She'll walk in and it will re-materialise immediately.

I have a theory about dropping things and old age. The older one gets the farther away they will migrate. Teenager drops something, its at his feet. I drop something and it will dispppear under a piece of furniture the far end of the room
