Back in the 80s, I read an article about the development of the A-Bomb and it had quotes from some of the scientists involved in the project; not only was there a fear of an out of control chain reaction, there were actual calculations pointing to that being a very real outcome; some of the scientists set up a betting pool just prior to the first test to see who could correctly predict the yield and effect of the first blast...

If we add up the mass of all these missing/new socks, I bet we'll arrive at the amount necessary to account for dark matter.
