Murphy's laws

1. If anything can go wrong, it will.
2. If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the first one to go wrong.
3. If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway.

Great stuff. What a boring life it would be without Mr Sod and Mr Murphy to make things sparkle.

It takes Moore's law to really make things sparkle and E=MC(squared) to understand it.

Rofl, I love The Game, because 90% of the time when you send it to someone you get

"I was already playing and now I lost. And now you did too."

The Game is a joke, but a whole lot of things go wrong (especially annoying hard to fix computer things

)
