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.
