Sapere aude - dare to be wise
Tuesday, September 13, 2005
Posted 10:29 AM by Olaeron Lucet
As a blogger and law student, I am always interested in the next persons views on life. More particularly, the unseen laws that govern life. I stumbled across this on the internet, and thought that I would share. Some of these are more true than I think we would care to admit. from legal trivia.


Murphy's Law
If anything can go wrong, it will.

O'Tooles Commentary on Murphy's Law
Murphy was an optimist.

Nonreciprocal Laws of Expectations
As soon as you mention something ...
... if it's good, it goes away.
... if it's bad, it happens.

Howe's Law
Every man has a scheme that does not work.

Zymurgy's First Law of Evolving Systems Dynamics
Once you open a can of worms, the only way to recan them is to use a larger can.

Etorre's Observation
The other line moves faster.

Skinner's Constant (Flannagan's Finagling Factor)
The quantity which, when multiplied by, divided by, added to, or subtracted from the answer you get, gives you the answer you should have gotten.

Law of Selective Gravity
An object will fall so as to do the most damage.

Jenning's Corollary
The chance of the bread falling with the buttered side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet.

Gordon's First Law
If a research project is not worth doing at all, it is not worth doing well.

Maier's Law
If the facts do not conform to the theory, they must be disposed of.

Hoare's Law of Large Problems
Inside every large problem is a small problem struggling to get out.

Boren's First Law
When in doubt, mumble.

The Golden Rule of Arts and Sciences
Whoever has the gold makes the rules.

Barth's Distinction
There are two types of people: those who divide people into two types, and those that don't.

Segal's Law
A man with one watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure.

Ninety-Ninety Rule of Project Schedules
The first 90% of the task takes 90% of the time, and the last 10% takes the other 90%.

Faber's Fourth Law
Necessity is the mother of strange bedfellows.

(From Arthur Bloch's Murphy's Law-and Other Reasons Why Things Go Wrong
quoted in The Book of Lists by Wallechinsky, Wallace and Wallace)

Klipstein's Corollary
The most delicate component will be the one to drop.
