Snippets from Murphy's Laws

There's nothing new if I surf throughout the entire web to sum up all the laws quoted as "Murphy's Laws" and post these here.. Still trying to pick out my favorite ones.. It'd add an extra dose of refreshment in my approach if I start my blog with all those laws.. After all, humor (or more specifically say 'morbid humor' in case of today's world) is the only spice of life!.. A lot can go wrong in my sense of writing since "Murphology" is the branch of knowledge relating to things going wrong!

Positive thinking is all very fine when the world is treating you right, but when things go awry, it's Murphy's Law that comes up with the goods - the pithy revelations and undeniable truths that document our limitless potential for misplaced insight, hopeless wit and pessimistic wisdom.
