Murphy's law is actually (roughly) "if something can go wrong, it will".
But, in context, I suppose the misattribution does have a kind of ironic
charm ;)
Some tangential laws...
"It is impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so
ingenious." --RobertHeinlein
"Those who try to build idiot-proof systems always underestimate the
persistence and ingenuity of idiots." --anon
"If you make your system more idiot-proof the idiots will build a bigger
idiot" --anon
Sorry to be off-topic. My next post will be a programming teaser :)
