Murphy’s Laws of Love, War, Technology and Computers

Murphy’s Law—I love these things so I thought I would share some of them.

I found this great site—Murphy’s Laws Site— that lists several Murphy’s laws if only I had posted this yesterday I could have included the ones about love. :-/

• All the good ones are taken.
• If the person isn’t taken, there’s a reason.
• If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
• Love is a matter of chemistry, sex is a matter of physics.
• and more (just had to include a few of them ;-P)

Some of my favorite are Murphy’s Laws of war.  Things such as

• Friendly fire – isn’t.
• Recoilless rifles – aren’t.
• If it’s stupid but it works, it isn’t stupid.
• If at first you don’t succeed, call in an air strike.
• The easy way is always mined.
• Tracers work both ways.
• Exceptions prove the rule, and destroy the battle plan.
• and many more

But there are also Murphy’s Law of Technology and Murphy’s Law of Computers too if you haven’t seen them.  The include Laws such as

• Any given program, when running, is obsolete.
• If a program is useful, it will have to be changed.
• If a program is useless, it will have to be documented.
• Bugs will appear in one part of a working program when another ‘unrelated’ part is modified.
• Software bugs are impossible to detect by anybody except the end user.
• and many more.

Enjoy! 😀
