Murphy's First Law:
	Nothing is as easy as it looks.

Murphy's Second Law:
	Everything takes longer than you think.

Murphy's Third Law:
	Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

Murphy's Fourth Law:
	If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that
	will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong.
   Corollary:
	If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.

Murphy's Fifth Law:
	If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.

Murphy's Sixth Law:
	If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure
	can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for,
	will promptly develop.

Murphy's Seventh Law:
	Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.

Murphy's Eighth Law:
	If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked
	something.

Murphy's Ninth Law:
	Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.

Murphy's Tenth Law:
	Mother nature is a bitch.

Murphy's Eleventh Law:
	It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so
	ingenious.

Murphy's Twelfth Law:
	Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.

Murphy's Thirteenth Law:
	Every solution breeds new problems.

That's the first line in my book, "The Society of Mind," as a
quotation attributed to Einstein.  

The funny thing is that I have a corredpondence with the archivists of
the Einstein collection (at Boston University).  They can't find the
source anywhere, and I can't remember where I got it.  I'm sure I
didn't make it up, but I certainly could have paraphrased it from
something else.  And I did hang around at the Institute for Advanced
Studies in the early '50s when I was a grad student at Princeton.

So, can anyone else remember seeing this somewhere?

Subject: Re: Murphy's Laws and other laws
Organization: SoftQuad Inc., Toronto, Canada

Perhaps it's time someone mentioned the *real* Murphy's Law.
From the Jargon File, release 2.9.10:

:Murphy's Law: prov. The correct, *original* Murphy's Law
   reads: "If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of
   those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it."
   This is a principle of defensive design, cited here because it is
   usually given in mutant forms less descriptive of the challenges of
   design for lusers.  For example, you don't make a two-pin plug
   symmetrical and then label it `THIS WAY UP'; if it matters which
   way it is plugged in, then you make the design asymmetrical (see
   also the anecdote under {magic smoke}).

   Edward A. Murphy, Jr. was one of the engineers on the rocket-sled
   experiments that were done by the U.S. Air Force in 1949 to test
   human acceleration tolerances (USAF project MX981).  One experiment
   involved a set of 16 accelerometers mounted to different parts of
   the subject's body.  There were two ways each sensor could be glued
   to its mount, and somebody methodically installed all 16 the wrong
   way around.  Murphy then made the original form of his
   pronouncement, which the test subject (Major John Paul Stapp)
   quoted at a news conference a few days later.

   Within months `Murphy's Law' had spread to various technical
   cultures connected to aerospace engineering.  Before too many years
   had gone by variants had passed into the popular imagination,
   changing as they went.  Most of these are variants on "Anything
   that can go wrong, will"; this is sometimes referred to as
   {Finagle's Law}.  The memetic drift apparent in these mutants
   clearly demonstrates Murphy's Law acting on itself!

(In other words, if there is a wrong way to quote Murphy's Law, then
someone will quote it that way.)

It certainly seems true. For example, compare:

Good things come to those who wait."
