A glimpse on Murphy


For all those who are not familiar with Mr Murphy, let me tell you murphology gives the basic idea of sustenance in the cosmos-"if anything can go wrong, it will". I picked up the book, fumbled through a few pages and here are a few interesting laws :

1.Bell's Theorem When a body is immersed in water, the telephone rings, or door bell screeches.
Well nowadays we got cell phones, so telephone problem is solved. But cant help the doorbell:)

2.Zadra's law of Biomechanics The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to its reach :P

3.Willoughby's law When you try to prove to someone that a machine wont work, it will.
This always happens in a EEE machines lab, where you toil and give the complicated circuit connections, sweat to make the motor run, but the stubborn motor gives no heed, even after you plead on all fours. The you go to the lab incharge, quite reluctantly but helplessly, listen to all his rantings that you are the dumbest student he has ever had in his glorious experience of 10 odd years, you have to make your face look like you are deeply sorry to disturb him and that you are really really dumb to even add 4+9 properly,erm....I know I still stick out fingers and toes for tat but anyway..look guilty.tats the point. I think there is great chemistry between the lab techie and the stupid induction motor, should be love at first sight. The moment lad techie touches him/her(the motor), starts running,smoothly and sweetly. He gives you one good-for-nothing look and storms out. Bah..Murphy is so so right..

4.The queue Principle The longer you wait in the line the greater is the probability that you are in the wrong line.

5.Finagle's eighth rule Team work is essential. It allows you to blame someone else :)

6.Banana Principle If you buy bananas before they are ripe, there wont be any left by the time they are ripe. If you buy them ripe, they rot before eating.
Moral: Dont eat or buy bananas. Not worth so much ado. I don like bananas yeeks!!!

7.Ballance's Law of Relativity How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you are on
No solution, you cant have a doorless bathroom :)

8.Jacob's Law To err is humane- to blame it on someone else is even more human :)

9.Horowitz'Law Whenever you turn on the radio, you hear the last few notes of your favorite song

10.Murphy's laws' Law
1.Stores that sell Volume One, will not know of Volume Two.
2.Stores that sell Volume Two will be out of Volume One.
