| - Murphy's Law is one of the fundamental laws of nature, even more fundamental than, for example, the law of copyright. It is a very optimistic law, stating if anything can go wrong, it will. If it can't go wrong, it will go wrong anyway.. Although, it has been proved that Sarah N is actually behind Murphy's Law, and that Murphy is blamed incorrectly. For the modern quantum mechanical formulation of Murphy's Law, see Quantum Murphydynamics. If quantum physics just confuses you, then stay on this page instead. The law has many variants, e.g.:
* The pot of gold is on the other side of the rainbow.
* Someone else will always get the last ice cream.
* When a farang (foreign person) gets married to a woman from Thailand, and he later finds out that she was a man (katoey). Even if the Thai woman is actually a woman, she may have many flaws, such as laziness, very demanding, stubborn, and only marries for money and not for love.
* When one attempts to hit a nail, one will always hit one's finger.
* It is always sunny on Wednesday afternoons.
* It always rains outside.
* Toast will always fall with the buttered side down.
* And you can never tell the right side of the toast to butter.
* This is true for common heights of tables, in Japan this is not true.
* Of course, this means if you attach the toast to the back of a cat with the buttered side up, gravity will explode, since cats always land on their feet. See Murphy's law application for antigravitatory cats.
* When one searches with a search engine, one ends up on WikiPedia, not on Uncyclopedia.
* When you are looking for something that is in a pile, it is always next to the grue.
* The grue will eat you.
* When waiting in line, the line you're in will move quickest, but you will break your leg while waiting.
* Or, your line will be the slowest and you will still break your leg.
* If you like women, chances are, you're a lesbian.
* When teasing scorpions, they will always transpire to have a masochistic streak and actually develop an affection for you for having done so.
* The light at the end of a tunnel is normally the light of an oncoming train.
* All your base, indeed, are belong to us.
* If you flip to the Comedy channel, you get Sinbad's comedy hour.
* If you like pina coladas, you most likely won't get caught in the rain (and vice versa)
* Whenever you are running late for work or an interview, etc., chances are you have to stop at every single set of traffic lights on your way there. More than half the time you spend stuck at the traffic lights, you are giving way to nothing at all, and if you try going through a red light a police officer will pull you over and fine you or someone who saw you do it will dob you in.
* Any tool dropped while repairing a car will roll to the exact center (or anyplace out of reach) under the car.
* A Smith&Wesson always beats four aces.
* Unless they are thrown by a ninja, who is wearing a bulletproof vest.
* A coin dropped while sitting on a couch will lodge itself in the only place you think not to look.
* If you are a student and you studied 99 chapters out of one hundred, then your whole exam will only come from the one chapter you left out.
* If you are working on an important project, any dogs and/or cats in the house will immediately place themselves upon it.
* When you look for the remote, it's always in the last place you look.
* Well, it's always in the last place you look because after you find it, you don't need to look for it anymore, so, yeah.
* Player 3 always wins, as he is in fact the terminator.
* Player 3 cannot win if the Govinator is playing. Thus disproving the previous statement. Murphy's Law was discovered and informalized by Albert Murphy Sinbad Einstein, after whom it was named. Albert came to the idea when he was bathing under a tree, when Jesus fell off a cloud and landed exactly on the cold tap. This incident also led to the invention of the anal plug and cold water. The law was passed without any votes against, critics mention that anyone who would oppose had missed his or her plane, had an engine failure or hit both nail and finger with a hammer. Those for the law cite the same incidents. A prime Example of Murphy's Law can be found in the everyday life of an unfortunate idiot named Pete Thomas. This inevitably proves this law.
