static: A Goblin Algorithm

I will not be telling you the truth about static. The goblins have asked me not to. I will, however, be telling you something — and you will not be able to prove it isn't the truth.

A goblin once tried to steal static. No one knows how the attempt went, because static was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding static in a sock drawer ever since. Others say static escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.
