Author has written 23 stories for Kids, General, Fantasy, Life, Nature, Haiku, General, Religion, Sci-Fi, and School. This is the former RogueRobin. I had to change my pen name for several reasons...all of which shall remain personal. Name- Adin Age-19 Oh, special shout out to PocoSnow15 as my first reviewer ever! Murphy is my hero so naturally I have some of his laws. ~No matter how long or how hard you shop for an item, after you've bought it, it will be on sale somewhere cheaper. ~The other line always moves faster. ~In order to get a loan, you must first prove you don't need it. ~If it jams - force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway. ~When a broken appliance is demonstrated for the repairman, it will work perfectly. ~In any hierarchy, each individual rises to his own level of incompetence, and then remains there. ~In case of doubt, make it sound convincing. ~The chances of the bread landing butter side down are directly proportional to the cost of the carpet ~If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which something can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop. From Troutman ~Profanity is the one language understood by all programmers ~If a test installation functions perfectly, all subsequent systems will malfunction Weinberg's second law If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization. Gumperson The probability of anything happening is in inverse ratio to its desirability Harvard's law as applied to computers Under the most rigorously controlled conditions of pressure, temperature, volume, humidity and other variables, the computer will do as it damn well pleases. Rule of accuracy When working toward the solution of a problem, it always helps if you know the answer. Westheimer's Rule ~To estimate the time it takes to do a task: estimate the time you think it should take, multiply by two and change the unit of measure to the next highest unit. Thus, we allocate two days for a one hour task. And Flap's Law Any inanimate object, regardless of its position, configuration or purpose, may be expected to perform at any time in a totally unexpected manner for reasons that are either entirely obscure or else completely mysterious. That's all for now. | |||||||
