MORE MURPHY’S LAWS

 

 

  • All things mechanical/electrical will catastrophically fail after the guarantee has expired, unless an extended guarantee has been purchased.
  • The Harvard Principle:
    Under the most rigorously controlled conditions of temperature, humidity, pressure, etc., the organism will do as it damn well pleases.
  • First Law of Linear Equations: Given any system n linear equations, there will be n+1 unknowns
  • The disappearance of a nagging error in a system is explicable only in terms of insignificant contribution of the source to that system
  • The repairman will have never seen a model quite like yours before
  • Law of Repairmen: The repairman fixes your machine to break down the next day and charges for a new machine.
  • While technology progresses at the speed of light it's implementation is filtered through the speed of bureaucracy
  • In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is.
  • Stationary engineering law: never underestimate incompetency
