Mike, Yes, it was a good input, but don't let Bev's comments go to your head. Remember he's Canadian. When they were working on the Blackberry, due to the language barrier a request for an E-mail outlet/portal ended up being a pop-up screen listing the local distributors of Canadian bacon.

However you may wish to reconsider: It is much more satisfying to say "SOD IT" when something breaks/goes wrong than "Murphy it" and as satisfying but less offensive than ....you're ahead of me. :) regards Mike -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bev Christian Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 11:42 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] FW: MURPHY'S OTHER LAWS NTC Mike, Best e-mail of the bunch, although as a typical North American chauvinist, I will continue to call it Murphy's Law.

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.
