Though you'd think it's as old as humanity itself, Murphy's Law is only just turning sixty this year. Happy 60th, Murph!

If Anything Can Go Wrong, It Will

Whenever a system becomes completely defined, some damn fool discovers something which either abolishes the system or expands it beyond recognition. There's a Murphy's Law for most fields of endeavor. Love - All the good ones are taken. Computers - Any given program, when running, is obsolete. Business - It doesn't matter what you do, it only matters what you say you've done and what you say you're going to do. Teaching - Disaster will occur when visitors are in the room. War - Friendly fire ... isn't. Cops - Tear gas works on cops too, and regardless of wind direction, will always blow back in your face. Photography - You are not Ansel Adams. etc., etc., etc.
