Moores Law (Webopedia) - (môrz lâ) (n.) The observation made in 1965 by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since the integrated circuit was invented. Moore predicted that this trend would continue for the foreseeable future.

Murphy's Law - If it can go wrong, it will go wrong.

Internet Personals Law - The proximity of a person to you is inversely proportional to your attraction to them.

I knew there was one like that<g>.

Then there is Lawrence's Law-

if you are at a bar, and find a woman attractive, you will spend all night talking to her friend.

i try and use this one to my advantage.... a long line will never, ever stay long if you start checking voicemail, balancing your checkbook, etc.

Kinda like my parents used to start smoking at a restaurant if the food was slow in coming; the minute they would light up, there's the food.

Or you could use the laws I wrote when I was 11. Yep, don't laugh I was only 11.

The Laws of the Universe are as follows.
1. We are all homosapians.
2. We are all carnivorous creatures.
3. We all have desires.
4. We all have immature impulses in us.
5. Each organism has the right to self preservation.
6. Each organism has the right to self satisfaction.
7. We all have the right to find our own destiny.
8. We all need love to love and be loved.
9. Each organism has the right to deprive oneself from self satisfacion.
10.Each organism needs to be free to a certain extent.

Looking back. I must have known something.

These are also universal:

Subject: Laws of Golf

LAW 1

No matter how bad your last shot was, the worst is yet to come. This
law
does
not expire on the 18th hole, since it has the supernatural tendency to
extend
over the course of a tournament, a summer and, eventually, a lifetime.

LAW 2
Your best round of golf will be followed almost immediately by your
worst
round ever. The probability of the latter increases with the number of
people you tell about the former.

LAW 3
Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic. Though this cannot be proven
in
the lab, it is a known fact that the more expensive the golf ball, the
greater
its attraction to water.

LAW 4
Golf balls never bounce off of trees back into play. If one does, the
tree
is breaking a law of the universe and should be cut down.

LAW 5
No matter what causes a golfer to muff a shot, all his playing partners

must solemnly chant "You looked up," or invoke the wrath of the
universe.

LAW 6
The higher a golfer's handicap, the more qualified he deems himself as
an
instructor.

LAW 7
Every par-three hole in the world has a secret desire to humiliate
golfers. The shorter the hole, the greater its desire.

LAW 8
Topping a 3-iron is the most painful torture known to man.

LAW 9
Palm trees eat golf balls.

LAW 10
Sand is alive. If it isn't, how do you explain the way it works against

you?

LAW 11
Golf carts always run out of juice at the farthest point from the
clubhouse.

LAW 12
A golfer hitting into your group will always be bigger than anyone in
your
group. Likewise, a group you accidentally hit into will consist of a
football player, a professional wrestler, a convicted murderer and an
IRS
agent -- or some similar combination.

LAW 13
All 3-woods are demon-possessed. All 2-irons are
double-demon-possessed.

LAW 14
Golf balls from the same "sleeve" tend to follow one another,
particularly
out of bounds or into the water (See Law three).

LAW 15
A severe slice is a thing of awesome power and beauty.

LAW 16
"Nice lag" can usually be translated to "lousy putt." Similarly, "Tough

break" can usually be translated "Way to miss an easy one, sucker."

LAW 17
The person you would most hate to lose to will always be the one who
beats
you.

LAW 18
The last three holes of a round will automatically adjust your score to
what it really should be.

LAW 19
Golf should be given up at least twice per month.

LAW 20
All vows taken on a golf course shall be valid only until the Sun sets.

I can so relate to those freaking golf laws.

I once had the fortune of joining up with another golfer on the third hole. I was playing lousy that day and figured some conversation would be nice. For the first couple of holes my poor play continued. I am a vocal person and if I hit a bad shot I sometimes would utter "God Damn!!". After a couple of those the conversation turn to jobs. I asked him what he did, "Minister" he replied.

One universal law that I know is true:

The one constant thing in the universe is that all things constantly change.

They would be modified a bit if I were writing them today. Can you tell I adored science back then?

I've heard that one as well. My friend has two younger siblings who were very... curious.

Mommy!! I tried to fit the crayon and now I can't get it out...

Oh dear.

As far as universal laws go,

If it's logical, clear, and concise, it's not allowed here.

If it's dangerous, irrational, or just silly, it's the word of God (unless you're friends of the person who made the dangerous irrational thing manditory)

The person who complains loudest is always right.

And to paraphase an old Prussian quote, all skill is in vain when an angel pisses in your gunpowder.
