MikeJD 0 #5 June 25, 2009 'Can't see it for looking', huh? It's a recognised peculiarity of the brain, though quite how and why it works is beyond me! The magician/ hypnotist Derren Brown says he uses it to persuade people that he's made something disappear even when they're staring straight at it. Although the tool goblin theory is more fun.

Nutz 0 #9 June 25, 2009 George Carlin said there was a pile somewhere. When you lose something it goes to the pile and when you die you get it all back - except for your virginity because you were in such a big hurry to get rid of it in the first place. Then when you find something it comes back from the pile. Funny stuff. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DavidB 0 #16 June 25, 2009 Quote Any one believe in tool goblins My God!!! They torment you, too?!?! Bastards tormented me my entire professional life , & now that I'm retired one has taken up permanent residence in my garage. Went shopping at the Harbor Freight store a few months ago & my goblin has been playing happily ever since. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

My wife finds things for me, like when the stereo remote control (there's no volume adjustment except on the remote) went on walkabout and ended up on the kitchen window sill. I also buy end up buying new tools. Got a new drill when mine some how ended up in a container under the fish tank stand. I don't know how many automatic center punches I own.
