I don’t know about you, but when I was in college we had way more fun things to do than flushing out socks down the toilet. Apparently though, the students at the University of Alaska apparently are so bored this is their only alternative.
Hundreds of socks have been flushed at the UAF Fine Arts Complex since December, creating havoc on the building’s sewer system. Maintenance Superintendent Bill Cox figures the stray socks have caused at least $15,000 in equipment damage and labor costs.

Forty socks in tree days? Wow! That's some paedophilic wankfest.

I go to UAF, and this really pisses me off. As if the cost of tuition, fees, books, etc wasn't high enough. What a waste of the students and taxpayers money.
