| | Synopsis |
| | Most people have heard of Murphy's Law. And most people think |
| | that it means, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong". It |
| | sounds pretty pessimistic, but the true and original form of |
| | Murphy's Law is much more optimistic. |
| | |
| | "If there are two or more ways of doing something and one of |
| | those results in a catastrophe, then someone will do it that way." |
| | |
| | |
| | Murphy's Law works everywhere - from Venus down to your |
| | kitchen, where it can help explain why toast always lands |
| | buttered side down. |
| | |
| | But, did you know that Murphy's Law is a scientific principle which |
| | was officially declared at a press conference about the G-force |
| | experiments of Airforce Captain Edward A. Murphy Jnr, and is |
| | used by scientists and engineers to minimise the likelihood of |
| | mishap? |
