Murphy's Law

Hey bloggers, and so I find myself running out of things to blah blog about again on this day in an attempt to maintain content for this blog whenever possible.   And what do those other bloggers out there in bloggerland do when bloggers block arises.  Is there an internet guru for this? And what does that phrase "Murphy's Law" mean.  And I sure did find myself singing the words to that Murphy's  Law song the other day. some lyrics to the tune of "Got it all together don't you baby, Murphy's Law, sure out to get you."  And I think it has something to do with whatever can go wrong will go wrong.  And so let me go see what that internet bible dictionary Wikipedia has to say abut this word, hold on a second.....And sure enough Wikipedia has an entry for it saying something like "Although often equated with Sod's law, it can be seen as a special case of this more general tenet, which holds that the most inconvenient turn of events is the most likely, or whichever course of action you may take, the Fates will mock you for the choice you make. Murphy's law is sometimes strengthened, as Finagle's law". Or more so, as: "Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way. The law's name supposedly stems from an attempt to use new measurement devices developed by Edward Murphy. The phrase was coined in adverse reaction to something Murphy said when his devices failed to perform". And so there seems to be part of the meaning of that phrase in whatever it may mean.
