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.
