So it's been quite some time since I updated this thing, and I don't have anything all that earth shattering to report, but I have to share this somewhere because it's simply too amazing to pass up.
You all know Murphy's law, right? That whatever can go wrong, will go wrong? Well it turns out the real version says "If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then somebody will do it that way." And here's why that's amazing: Murphy himself is said to have found all the other versions of his law "ridiculous, trivial, and erroneous," and he struggled to get people to take his law as he stated it more seriously and to stop using the bastardized version.
Do you see what this means? Murphy's Law (the real one) is a victim of Murphy's Law (the popular one)! I apologize if the world implodes because of me saying that, but it's true*!
*note: my info is from wikipedia, so take the truth of this with a grain of salt. the truthiness of it, on the other hand, is indisputable.
