Many thanks to DeeL for finding these
gems of pessimism.
- Murphy's Laws:
- Nothing is as easy as it looks.
- Everything takes longer than you think.
- Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
- If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one
that will cause the most damage will go wrong.
- If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
- If you perceive and circumvent the four possible ways which a
procedure can go wrong, a fifth will promptly develop.
- Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
- If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously
overlooked something.
- Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
- Mother Nature is a bitch.
- It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so
ingenious.
- Murphy's Law of Thermodynamics:
- Things get worse under pressure.
- Another of Murphy's Laws:
- If mathematically you end up with the incorrect answer, try multiplying by the page number.
