this is smth that i find thats really really interesting...
i chanced upon this book titled "Why the toast always lands butter side down : The science of Murphy's Law" while i was slacking away in the company office...

never heard of such thing before, so i picked it up and read the first chapter..
well.. murphy's law goes like this ...

1. whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.
2. trying to make things better only makes things worse.
3. any attempt to do nothing, so nothing will go wrong, will go wrong.

a search on wikipedia comes up with this..

"Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way".

Some derivaties and corollaries

1) Any tool, when dropped, will roll into the least accesible corner of the room
2) Everything takes longer than you think.
3) Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
4) Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it only makes it worse.
5) Everything put together falls apart sooner or later.
6) Any wire cut to length will be too short.
7) After an instrument has been assembled, extra components will be found on the bench.
8) No books are lost by lending except those you particularly wanted to keep.
9) If you throw anything away, you will need it as soon as it is no longer available.
10) When the plane you are on is late, your connecting flight is on time.
11) Toothaches tend to start on Friday night.
12) The other check-out line always moves faster -- and immediately slows down after you change lines.
13) The chance of the bread falling with the buttered side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet.
14) Anything good in life is either illegal, immoral or fattening.

Upon looking further on the www.....
i found this website that consists of jokes about the law... here

Q : Why did the chicken cross the road?

Murphy: The chicken will invariably cross the road at the worst possible time and the worst possible place.

(2) The chicken had a bad day.
(3) The more the chicken wants to cross the road the more likely traffic gets heavier.
(4) When the chicken finally gives it up traffic stops instantaneously.
