[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 588234, member: 1246"] Murphy's Law & Others Okay, you've heard of Murphy's famous Law: Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. Well, there are many other related Laws. Here are some of them: After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch. --Lorenz's Law of Mechanical Repair Identical parts aren't. --Beach's Law Any tool, when dropped, will roll into the least accessible corner. --Anthony's Law of the Workshop Nothing is as inevitable as a mistake whose time has come. --Tussman's Law If it jams, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway. --Lowery's Law The solution to a problem changes the problem. --Peer's Law There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance. --William's Law Machines should work. People should think. --IBM's Pollyanna Principle The first rule of intelligent tinkering is to save all the parts. --Ehrlich's Law It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to realize that you are in a hurry. --Ralph's Observation If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the next morning you will have a flat tire. --Cannon's Comment [/QUOTE]
