Murphy's Laws

Being a firm believer in almighty Murphy, I think its appropriate for me to offer tribute to the universally applicable laws. These are not addendum or interpretations of Murphy's laws. Infact these are a few laws about applicability of Murphy's laws in general.

  • For every action there is a reaction (Murphy's laws) which is opposite in direction and far greater in magnitude.
  • When you really want something, the whole world conspires to help you achieve that thing and Murphy conspires to insure that you don't get it. Often, Murphy wins.
  • Every task in a state of completion tends to remain in that state of completion unless Murphy force is applied to it.

  • The force applied by Murphy is directly proportional to the intensity with which you want to achieve that thing.

  • The force applied by Murphy is inversely proportional to the time remaining in achieving that thing.

  • Murphy's laws once created can not be destroyed.
Any comments / additions are most welcome. Join me in worshiping the universal god. In Murphy we trust, all others can go to hell.

Few more addition to law :-)
Murphy is omnipresent.
Murphy is omnipotent.
Every task in a state of completion tends to remain in that state of completion unless Murphy force is applied to it.
For every action there is an equal and opposite murphy force acting on it.

Mr. Murphy Devotee... If I were to try and prove that Murphy's Law works, will it try to stop me? :P

Gaurav - Murphy's law is always greater.

For every action there is opposite but far greater Murphys law acting on it.
