Murphy's Law... and then some

Murphy's Law ("If anything can go wrong, it will") was born at Edwards Air Force Base in 1949 at North Base.

It was named after Capt. Edward A. Murphy, an engineer working on Air Force Project MX981, (a project) designed to see how much sudden deceleration a person can stand in a crash.

One day, after finding that a transducer was wired wrong, h cursed the technician responsible and said, "If there is any way to do it wrong, he'll find it."

The contractor's project manager kept a list of "laws" and added this one, which he called Murphy's Law.

Actually, what he did was take an old law that had been around for years in a more basic form and give it a name.
'if anything can go wrong it will' was sod's law because it would happen to any poor sod who needed such a catastrophic event the least.


in no order of preference, these are a few that I agree with:

- If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something
- Nature always sides with the hidden flaw
Corollary: The hidden flaw never stays hidden for long.
- Murphy's Law of Thermodynamics: Things get worse under pressure.
- The Murphy Philosophy: Smile . . . tomorrow will be worse.
- Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse
- Nothing is as easy as it looks.
- You will always find something in the last place you look.
If your looking for more than one thing, you'll find the most important one last.
- When in doubt, mumble. When in trouble, delegate.
- Mr. Murphy warning: Don't mess with Mrs. Murphy
- The difference between Stupidity and Genius is that Genius has its limits.
- Power Is Taken... Not Given
- When something goes wrong, you cannot find the solution in the instruction booklet, but someone else always does.
- Murphy's golden rule: whoever has the gold makes the rules.
- Everyone has a scheme for getting rich that will not work.
- All the good ones are taken.
If the person isn't taken, there's a reason.
- Brains x Beauty x Availability = Constant.
This constant is always zero.

- Money can't buy love, but it sure gets you a great bargaining position.

- If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
- On Dating: Availability is a function of time. The minute you get interested is the minute they find someone else.
- Sex is like snow; you never know how many inches you are going to get or how long it is going to last.
- If you get them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.
- When the lights are out, all women are beautiful.
- Sex is hereditary. If your parents never had it, chances are you won't either.

- Love your neighbor, but don't get caught.
- A woman never forgets the men she could have had; a man, the women he couldn't.
- Love comes in spurts.
- A man can be happy with any woman as long as he doesn't love her.
- Although it may seem like that on the outside, no one is having fun being single
- Never trust a woman who acts like you are so sexy she can't help herself but drag you to bed
- A love will tell you they love you endlessly.
A true love will tell everyone else they love you endlessly despite the embarrassment factor


- Love has all the answers. But till then sex brings up some good questions.
- Never make love in your back garden. Love is blind, but not your neighbors.
- When she says: "Don't buy me anything expensive" and you listen, expect to be single.
- As soon as you break up the man (or woman) who couldn't commit TO YOU will get married.
- Procrastination is a lot like masturbation, it feels good until you realize your just fucking yourself

- The more studying you did for the exam, the less sure you are as to which answer they want

alot la~!
