Hokitika Sock Machine Museum

by Adam & Lara on 05/10/10

Let's face it, we're all bored to death of hearing about the history of socks over and over again. It's the sock machines that we really care about - fascinating artifacts of a day and age when socks were made the old fashioned way - by machine. But who wants to pay an arm and a leg to go to one of those fancy-schmancy sock machine museums? Not us! If only there was a more affordable option.

Hokitika, you're sitting on a gold mine and you know it.

To start with I pictured a machine made of socks... which would probably be somewhat cooler. Are the silhouettes in the mural meant to indicate some sort of "Mystery Science Theater" style presentation of the sock machine history? Or is it alluding to a benevolent alien race that introduced the sock machine to humanity and forever altered our timeline?
