Murphy's Laws: They Should Be Common Knowledge

This is some important information that I think everybody should know.


Murphy's Laws (well...some of them)


1. Anything that can go wrong, will.
Meghan's addition to Murphy's First Law: Anything that can't go wrong, will go wrong faster. (i.e. The Titanic)


2. If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong.


3. If everything seems to be going well, you've obviously overlooked something.


4. Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.


5. It is impossible to make things foolproof because fools are so ingenious.


6. Anyone who isn't paranoid, simply isn't paying attention.


7. When working toward the solution of a problem, it always helps to know the answer. Provided, of course, that you know there is a problem.


8. Behind every small problem is a larger problem, waiting for the small one to get out of the way.


9. Chaos will win over order, because it is better organized.


10. Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself.


11. There is never time to do something right, but there is always time to do it over.


12. If everything has been going wrong, something is bound to go right.


13. In the end, only entropy wins.


I believe Murphy had it right.
