This is the place to post about Murphy's Law. Post some things he said, or some instances that happened to you related to the law. Oh, if you don't know the law, it's "Anything that can go wrong [i]will[/i] go wrong."

An example of that is: If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.

An instance of Murphy's Law that happened to me would be, um, ahh! I can't think of any now! I had a brain fart! I'll edit this post later when one comes to mind.

And one more thing: Murphy was an optimist :)

How about this one Haux?

As you can see in our sigs, we are in the process of making a web page: PHOTOTRIPREPORT. When finished, this should be a pretty cool site.

Anyway: production is at a stand-still because we can't find some of our pictures.

This is what happened: about a month ago I began working on PTR. We have dozens, if not hundreds of photos from all our coaster trips. I began working on the IOA, SWO, and BGT pages. I finished them in a few days. I then sent a few of them to Haux to be put online.

Then I started work on our CP and PKI pages. Guess what? The pictures are NOWHERE to be found. This is really bad. I have stopped ALL production of the web page until they are found.

Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.:sadface: :sadface: :mad:

Yeah! To the death! Photo Trip Report!

I don't think this is true... A coaster could crash, for example, but this law says that it will absolutely happen, while in reality it's very, very unlikely. So the thing is done wrong...

Do you want Murphy's Laws on Sex or on work??

Being that this IS a family board, I will post PG ones on the sex issue, an the rest on work:

First the tasteful sex laws:

Nothing improves with Age.
It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.
It was not the apple on the tree but the pair on the ground that caused the trouble in the garden.

Murphy's Law on work:

When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.
No one gets sick on Wednesdays.
No matter how much you do you never do enough.
The longer the title, the less important the job.
Machines that have broken down will work perfectly when the repairman arrives.
The BOSS is always right.

And now Peter's Laws: The Creed of the Sociopathic Obsessive Compulsive:

If anything can go wrong--Fix it!! (To hell with Murphy)
When given a choice, take both!
If you can't beat them, join them, then beat them.
If you can't win, change the rules.
If you can't change the rules, then ignore them.
When in doubt, THINK!!
The faster you move, the slower time passes, the longer you live.

You sir, are an idiot.

Mine are all simple things, such as my car not starting when I'm miles from home - it's never done it when it's sat on my drive. Or Everton having all four of their strikers injured at the same time, meaning we couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo.

Well, you know the saying "There's an exception to every rule"
Guess what, I've had lots of exceptions. For instance, when there was only one way to win a spades game, and it had to be done if the other players had less diamonds, clubs and hearts. Guess what? They did, and I won in the only way possible I could've won.
