Isn't that the truth.
Unfortunately, sometimes I drop screws and stuff on carpeting. No sound at all as far as I can tell, and the thing may as well have been beamed up by the Starship Enterprise for all the good it does me to look for it.
That's kind of how I came up with the theory that e-clips can sometimes achieve relativistic speeds and leave the solar system.
I wonder if there is a planet of lost e-clips like the planet of lost pens (follow link at your own peril).
