  Murphy's Law

Nothing great to update here. Another year end coming by soon. Everything remains stagnant. I feel tired.

"Why the toast always lands butter side down - The Science of Murphy's Law" is an interesting read. Most of his laws are amusing, ironical and mockeries. I've quoted some here.

___________________________________________

Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.

Whatever can't go wrong will go wrong.

You can observe a lot, just by watching.

Between one room and the next the memory is wiped.

Nothing works when people watch.

The best way to be late is to give yourself plenty of time.

Whatever you like is illegal, immoral or fattening.

Conscience: the inner voice that warns us someone might be looking.

You think of 10 important things to remember just as you are falling asleep.

How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you are on.

The more it's good for you, the worse it tastes.

Nobody is entirely sad at the failure of a friend.

The death of one person is a tragedy; the death of 5000 people is a statistic.

The further the disaster occurs, the greater the number of dead and injured required for it to become news.

A simple lie is better than a complicated truth.

When people can do as they please they all do the same.

I love humanity - it's people I can't stand.

Each solution opens the door to a more difficult problem.

A man with one watch knows what time it is; a man with two watches is never quite sure.

Committee: a place where good ideas go to die.

A committee is a group of people who can't decide anything on their own, but together can decide that nothing can be done.

Internal consistency is valued more highly than the solution.

If a problem causes many meetings, the meetings eventually become more important than the problem.

Passion makes good servants and bad masters.

Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.

Objects behave better when you shout at them.

When you make your face cooler you make the planet hotter.

Going there takes longer than getting back.

Short cuts are the longest routes.

Your queue always goes slowest.

Time flies when you are having fun.

Everything looks useful until you buy it.

A conclusion is a place where you got too tired of thinking.
