Basic reason, absorbency wicking properties of both fibers.When you wear socks, ofcourse your feet will perspire. Cotton is a bad fiber in terms of moisture handling.

A invasion of Australia is a very very very unlikely event as no country as of now has enough motive to invade Australia. That might change in another 50 years or so but even then I think that it is very unlikely. There are two reasons why I feel safe from invasion is 1 - How remote Australia is to the rest of the world, why would some army fly halfway around the world to invade a place when their might be better targets closer to home. 2 - The alliances that Australia has around the world for example the ANZUS treaty with the US and New Zealand. If one of those countries are attacked then the other two will rush to the aid of the attacked country. We are still part of the Commonwealth of the English empire and they would (or they should) send help as well. 3 - Our Military forces might be small but they are some of the best trained in the world. I think that invasion is a very low possibility there are other things to worry about

7. Ladies, what kind of fall clothing do you think looks best on guys?

All "best" clothing depends on body shape and accentuating your most attractive features and hiding flaws the best so do not wear form fitting clothing if you are fat, though a compression shirt underneath might be a good thing. I believe that a man should be himself and not some woman's puppet dressed up like a meterosexual. Chances are that whatever her dad wore when growing up is what defines masculinity for her. For me it is plaid button down flannel shirts and blue jeans which is something my husband would never be caught dead in so rather than forcing him to conform to my ideals I accept him as he is with his yucky fake polyester fabrics. Actually I accept the man and not the clothing because polyester is gross on anyone

No, it wo not work. I tried the same thing on a Jansport backpack (it's made of polyester), and nothing happened. You can try using fabric paints instead to make the backpack look spacey.
