Mike,
Best e-mail of the bunch, although as a typical North American chauvinist, I will continue to call it Murphy's Law.

Subject: Re: [TN] FW: MURPHY'S OTHER LAWS NTC

I once bought a book of Murphy's Law in a book stall at a US airport.
Interestingly the copyright statement said that the book was not for sale in
the US, thus demonstrating Murphy's Law. 
It was also the second and revised edition. The first edition had a long
section detailing the research by the author of the derivation of Murphy's
Law which he claimed to have traced back to a Boeing Engineer called Murphy
in the 1930s.
This second edition contained an apology for this error. 
The author explained this was because of the number of British readers who
had written in saying that actually Murphy's Law was just a re-discovery of
the original British "Sod's Law" to which the first written references can
be traced back as far as the late 1700s. Thus demonstrating SOD's Law very
well.

The book references many useful laws. 
Examples
In the science section

Hot glass looks the same as cold glass

And motoring
2 cars travelling on an otherwise deserted road will
a) be travelling in opposite directions
b) Meet at the narrowest point.

I no longer have this book because by Sod's/Murphy's Law I lent it to
someone who immediately emigrated.


Regards 

Mike

Since you two were basking in the delusional euphoria that everyone
understands the ramifications of proper reflow profiles, I thought I'd pass
along the laws that seemingly stipulate the opposite.

Dewey

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MURPHY'S OTHER LAWS.....

 

1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear 

bright until you hear them speak.

 

2. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

 

3. A day without sunshine is like, well, night.

 

4. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

 

5. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who  don't.

 

6. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

 

7. 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.

 

8. It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end to end, 

someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them.

 

9. If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.

 

10. The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by 

Those who got there first.

 

11. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish 

and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

 

12. Flashlight: A case for holding dead batteries.

 

13. The shin bone is a device for finding furniture.

 

14. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

 

15. When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 

people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
