A stocking-stuffer from the NY Times -- an article about the growing specialized textile super-cities in southern China, including Datang, producer of one-third of the world's socks!. Add to it the fact that the word "socks" is inherently funny once it appears more than once per paragraph, and you get wonderful quotes and captions like: Each year, the town is decorated with balloons and flags for the annual sock fair. Banners promoting socks are draped across buildings.
