Murphy's Lesser Known Laws
Hypatia Started conversation Jun 15, 2010
1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you listen to them.
2. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
3. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.
4. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
5. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.
6. If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them, five or six at a time, on a hill, in the fog.
7. The things that come to those who wait will usually be the scraggly junk left by those who got there first.
8. The shin bone is a device used for finding furniture in a dark room.
9. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.
10.When you go into court, you are putting yourself into the hands of 12 people who weren't creative enough to get out of jury duty

Poor Murphy. I think he was doomed the minute he got off the boat.

In other words: link to them at your own risk.
After all, Murphy hasn't quit his day job yet. 
I've been to each site with no adverse effects, so chalk one up for Murphy being asleep at the wheel.
