Murphy's Laws

At last we finished moving on to a new office, it was rather smooth but of course Murphy's Laws made us remember themselves every now and then... So at the end of monday sitting in the new office I searched for Murphy's Laws...

Murphy's Law: prov. The correct, original Murphy's Law reads: "If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it." This is a principle of defensive design, cited here because it is usually given in mutant forms less descriptive of the challenges of design for lusers. For example, you don't make a two-pin plug symmetrical and then label it `THIS WAY UP'; if it matters which way it is plugged in, then you make the design asymmetrical.

Murphy's Original Law :If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it.
Murphy's Law: If anything can go wrong -- it will.
Murphy's First Corollary: Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
Murphy's Second Corollary: It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
Quantized Revision of Murphy's Law: Everything goes wrong all at once.
Murphy's Constant : Matter will be damaged in direct proportion to its value.
The Murphy Philosophy: Smile... tomorrow will be worse.
Here you can find the conclusions...
