Other Universal Truths

Although Murphy's Law captures

the jaded, pessimistic view of the

world very well, it doesn't stand

alone. Since its popularization

following the rocketsled tests at

EdwardsAir ForceBase, shrewd

observers have come up with some

of their own laws.

Some have become famous in their

own right, lik e the Peter Principle,

which states that all people will

eventually be promoted to their

which argues that Murphy was an

optimist. There are literally thousands of rules, laws, principles and observations that have been created

since Murphy's Law. Some are funny, some are wise and some are just plain cool. Others are old, tried-

and-true observations:

Etorre's Observation -The other line moves faster.

Barth's Distinction -There are two types of people in the world: those who divide people into types and

those who don't.

Acton's Law -Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely

Boob's Law -You always find something in the last place you look.

Clarke's Third Law -Any sufficiently advanced society is indistinguishable from magic.

Franklin's Rule -Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he will not be disappointed.

Issawi's Law of the Path of Progress -A s hortcut is the longest dis tance between two points.

Mencken's Law -Those who can, do. Those who cannot, teach.

Patton's Law -A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.

Each of these sayings explains some aspect of the universe and puts it into an easily understood (and often

funny) form. Even so, Murphy's Law remains the granddaddy of all maxims. What is it about this law that

we find so perfectly captures life? In the next section, we'll look at why Murphy's Law is such a universal

concept.
