When science and religion work synergistically
People who are fascinated by the universe have probably come across Murphy's law and its variations. An adage stating that whatever can go wrong will go wrong, Murphy's law taps into our tendency to dwell on the negative and overlook the positive. It's relevant because when life goes well, we make little of it—we expect things to work in our favor. But when things go wrong, we look for explanations.
Murphy's law even seems to poke fun at us for being such hotheads, while using the rules of probability to support itself. So for the humor of it, let's check out some of the funniest examples of Murphy's laws.
Availability is a function of time. The minute you get interested is the minute, they find someone else.
Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe, and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it, and he'll have to touch it to be sure.
The qualities that most attract a woman to a man are usually the same ones she can't stand years later.
Smile... tomorrow will be worse.
Money can't buy love, but it sure gets you a great bargaining position.
All things are possible, except skiing through a revolving door.
Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.
If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization.
Some people manage by the book, even though they don't know who wrote the book, or even what book.
The light at the end of the tunnel is only the light of an oncoming train.
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
If you really need an officer in a hurry, take a nap.
An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.
After all is said and done, a hell of a lot more is said than done.
Work smarder and not harder, and be careful of yor speling.
Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
Before you find your handsome prince, you've got to kiss a lot of frogs.
If it jams, force it. If it breaks, it probably needed to be replaced anyway.
If mathematically you end up with the incorrect answer, try multiplying by the page number.
All the good ones are taken.
If the person isn't taken, there's a reason.
Computers are unreliable, but humans are even more unreliable. Any system which depends on human reliability is unreliable.
It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget.
We don't know one millionth of one percent about anything.
When all else fails, read the instructions.
There is no difference between a wise man and a fool when they fall in love.
