20 Examples Of Murphy's Law In Action

Perhaps the most famous “Murphy’s Law” adage is the one that states: “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.”

The law’s name supposedly stems from an attempt to use new measurement devices developed by a man named Edward Murphy. The phrase was coined in adverse reaction to something Murphy said when his devices failed to perform.

However, in the book: “A History of Murphy’s Law ” by author Nick T. Spark, there are differing recollections years later by various participants making it impossible to determine who first coined the saying.

Author Arthur Bloch has compiled a number of books full of corollaries to Murphy’s law and its variations. The Law of Truly Large Numbers is similar to Murphy’s Law. It states that with a sample size large enough, any outrageous thing is likely to happen.

To add to an ever increasing body of material about Murphy and his law(s), Dr. John Stapp, a U.S. Air Force colonel and Flight Surgeon wrote a book entitled, “Why Everything You Know About Murphy’s Law is Wrong.”

Our LifeDaily team has researched a number of laws in the spirit of Mr. Murphy. They are listed below for you to form your own conclusions about their veracity:

Anything is easier to take apart than it is to put together.
Washlevsky’s Rule

Anything is easier to take apart than it is to put together

Virtue is just vice at rest.

Gentry’s Conclusion

The cigarette smoke always drifts in the direction of the non-smoker regardless of the direction of the breeze.
Dhawan’s Law for the Non-Smoker

The cigarette smoke drifts in the direction of the non-smoker

The sumptuousness of a company’s annual report is in inverse proportion to its profitability that year.
Hale’s Rule

When the water reaches the upper deck, follow the rats.
Swanson’s Law

In a bureaucratic hierarchy, the higher up the organization the less people appreciate Murphy’s Law.
Rogers’s Observation

bureaucratic-hierarchy

The snapshots you take of your husband are always more flattering than the ones he takes of you.
Murphy’s Second Law for Wives

Whatever women do, they must do it twice as well as men to be thought half as good.

Whitton’s Law

Whatever women do, they must do it twice as well as men

Claim victory and retreat.
Aiken’s Solution

The one wrench or drill bit you need will be the one missing from the tool chest.
First Workshop Principle

There is no job so simple that it cannot be done wrong.
Perrussel’s Law

There is no job so simple that it cannot be done wrong

There is always one more son of a bitch than you counted on.
Kopcha’s Rule

If you find something you like buy a lifetime supply – they’re going to stop making it.
Gerhardt’s Law

No name, no matter how simple, can be correctly understood over the phone.
Anonymous Murphy’s Law

No name can be correctly understood over the phone

When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.
Hoffer’s Law
Look around the table; if you don’t see a sucker, get up, because you’re the sucker.
Slim’s Rule

Look around the table; if you don't see a sucker you're the sucker

No one is listening until you make a mistake.
Vile’s Law of Communication

No one is listening until you make a mistake

Spend sufficient time confirming the need and the need will disappear.
Ed’s Fifth Rule of Procrastination

‘Push’ is the force exerted upon the door marked PULL.

Filson’s Law

Push the door marked PULL

1. When in charge ponder
2. When in trouble delegate
3. When in doubt mumble.
Boren’s Laws for Bureaucrats

It is difficult to take issue with these examples of the spirit of Murphy.

One, Two, Three, Tequila!  ..(we’ll leave out the floor part)

Partygoers and tequila lovers rejoice.  If your drink of choice is usually tequila, you are one smart agave.

Here are 12 reasons why LifeDaily thinks you should drink more tequila:

 12. It’s the shot of choice

Tequila seems to be the shot of choice for many partygoers. When you’re at the bar rounding up your friends, it’s usually for a shot of tequila.

 11. It livens up the party

Fun times are sure to ensue after everyone has had a shot of tequila.

10. No hangovers

If you drink 100% pure agave like Patron or Don Julio, no hangover for you.

9. You don’t even need a chaser

Unlike Vodka, tequila does not require a chaser- just a lime will do.  Less calories for you!

8. It’s a winter drink too

Tequila is just as good for warming you up in the winter as it is for cooling you down in the summer. Try this Tequila Hot Toddy Recipe for a real winter warmer: 1 1/2 ounces Tequila, 3/4 ounce Grand Marnier, 1/2 ounce agave nectar, 2 squeezes lemon, 2 squeezes fresh orange juice, 3 cinnamon sticks, and 3 cloves.

7. Tequila’s ingredient may help with weight loss

Agavins, derived from the blue agave plant used to make tequila, trigger insulin production and lower blood sugar levels in mice, and also help them to lose weight.  These agavins are not found in the finished product of tequila (they’re converted to ethanol following cooking and fermentation), but they can be purchased as agave nectar at a local Walmart or Trader Joes.

6. It’s the perfect outdoor lamp

Look at that shape. I’ve never seen a more perfect bottle for a fun, rustic outdoor lamp.

5. It’s a colon cleanser

Researchers have identified the blue agave as a potentially helpful source for delivering drugs to the colon in order to treat colitis, IBS, Crohn’s disease and even cancer.

4. It’s a cold remedy

A shot of tequila makes a sick day laying out on the couch much more fun!  Plus, Mexican doctors recommend it for fighting off a cold- just add some agave nectar and lime juice.

3. It’s a lower glycemic sweetener option

Well, not the tequila itself, but the agave nectar.  This nectar can then be sprinkled on to your Margarita, to make your drink sweeter as a healthier sweetener option.

2. It’s good for digestion

A shot of tequila after a big dinner can aid in digestion.  Tequila’s sugars are simple sugars, so they break down easily in your body.

1. It’s cheaper than a trip to Mexico

If you can’t afford to take a vacation, a shot of tequila will make you feel like you just got back from one.

baby kisses sleeping pit bull

People nowadays have a very poor misconception about pit bulls.  They deem them as the most dangerous, vicious and harmful breed of dog.

As this video below will show, this myth is far from the truth.

This adorable toddler goes in to steal a kiss from the pit bull while he’s asleep.  Usually when people and animals alike are awoken from their sleep, they appear startled and jump.

How does this pit bull react?

Let’s just say the dog reacts with such kindness, and gentleness towards the child.  He barely moves.

This video reinforces the beautiful bond between baby and pet, one that is heartwarming to all.

With pit bulls, or any dog for that matter, it’s usually bad ownership—not bad dogs.

Watch this video, and see for yourself.

This pair first met on the set of 2011’s X-Men: First Class. They dated, then split, and reunited after making 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, but recently they just haven’t been together a lot. As great as it was seeing these two on the big screen together, we may have to get over it, or at least until the next X-Men. Jennifer has rebounded with Gwyneth Paltrow’s ex Chris Martin, but has split from him as well.

6. Katy Perry and John Mayer

King Penguins Finally See Snow!

penguins snow

Contrary to popular belief, not all penguins live in freezing temperatures.  Some penguins live closer to the equator, and rarely see snow.

Most penguins love cold weather, and as you will see in the video below, so do these King Penguins at the Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio. (King Penguins by the way are the second largest of all the penguins.)

Although it gets chilly in Cincinnati from time to time, it’s certainly not ice-covered, and freezing like Antarctica is.

When these penguins first walk outside and see the snow, they couldn’t be happier!  It’s beautiful to watch them get so excited, while they waddle around flapping their arms. I even saw a few wagging their tiny tails.

It really feels like we are watching animals in their element, enjoying their surroundings, and enjoying life.

Some of the penguins even do their own version of snow angels, while lying flat on their tummies- it’s absolutely adorable.  Click play below to watch for yourself!

Parrot Feeding Dog Spaghetti- Hilarious!

parrot feeds dog spaghetti

Now imagine for a minute that you are a dog, having just smelled a steaming hot freshly cooked bowl of spaghetti coming from the kitchen.

Like our beloved four legged friends, you will beg, you will plead, and you will do whatever it takes to get that bowl of spaghetti.

As a dog, never did you think that you would have a parrot standing in the way of you and your delicious meal. A human, maybe, but a parrot, never!

It is unlucky for this particular dog in the video below, that his parrot friend is watching over that delicious bowl of spaghetti near the kitchen sink like a hawk.

The poor dog cannot reach, so he pleads with the parrot to feed him even as much as one strand, clawing the counter with his paws, wishing more than anything that he could reach.

The parrot decides to feed the dog a little spaghetti, dropping it to the floor, so that the dog can have a bite.  The parrot then pulls back, and enjoys watching the dog salivate.

What the parrot does next is unbelievable! Does he kiss the dog? Does he bite him? Watch the video below to find out!

Red wine compound may improve memory

A comprehensive list of reasons to justify your next wine binge

Although unlikely you need convincing, here are a few reasons why you need not feel guilty next time you pop open a bottle of wine.

Lower Risk of Heart Disease

We’ve all heard it before, but is it true? Does wine really lower your risk of heart disease? According to the Mayo Clinic, yes! In moderation of course…

Lower Mortality Rate

Wine drinkers have a 34% lower mortality rate than drinkers of beer, hard liquor, or abstainers. If this isn’t a good enough reason to have a glass of wine, I’m not sure what is.

It’s Fairly Inexpensive

Wine Blog

The great thing about wine is that it won’t drain your life savings. A halfway decent bottle can be purchased for less than $15. In fact, some cheap wines are actually quite delicious, which is why you probably became obsessed in college.

Endless Craft Possibilities

Wine bottles and corks provide endless craft opportunities. Make these cute wine light bottles, or make a cork board for your kitchen using old corks. More incentive to finish the bottle, not that we need any.

Wine Keeps Your Memory Sharp

Researchers have also found that wine can be beneficial to your memory. A study conducted by Columbia University found that brain function declines at a quicker rate in nondrinkers than in moderate drinkers. So you are actually doing yourself a favor by having a glass or two, or four. You can thank yourself later.

Enhances the Flavors of Your Favorite Foods

Wine and Cheese Pairings

As if cheese or chocolate aren’t delicious enough, wine actually enhances the flavors making them even tastier. Pair a sweet white with soft cheese, or pair a ruby port with a sweet snack. Plus, it’s a great excuse to throw a classy wine and cheese party for your friends.

It Will Never Break Your Heart

Unlike your S.O, wine won’t ever hurt your feelings or break up with you. After a devastating break up, or even just a hard day at work, this miracle drink will always be there to lift your spirits. Pair with Taylor Swift for the ultimate pity party.

Reduces the Risk of Depression

Wine is made from grapes, grapes are a fruit, wine is fruit. Does it count as one of our nine servings a day if it is in liquid form?

Is Laughter Really The Best Medicine?

S&TC laughing

We’ve all heard that laughter is the best medicine, no matter what kind of day you’re having, or what you’re going through, a good chuckle is a powerful antidote to stress, pain and conflict.

“Your sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have to make certain that your daily mood and emotional state support good health,” said Dr. Paul McGhee.

Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded. When laughter is shared, it binds you to other people and increases happiness and intimacy.

Humor also shifts perspective, enabling you to see situations in a more realistic, and less threatening light.

Do you know what the best part about laughter is?

It dissolves distressing emotions. You can’t feel anxious, angry, or sad when you’re laughing. It helps you to relax more, and it reduces stress, and increases energy, enabling you to stay focused and in turn, accomplish more.

Laughter is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle, or sneeze, and it also makes you much more attractive, drawing people towards you.

With all of these amazing benefits, we should all be laughing more often.

This clip below from the Sex and the City movie will help you, as it is the part where Carrie was so upset after being left at the altar by Big, that she stays in her hotel bed for days in complete sorrow. That all changes however when Charlotte accidentally drinks water during their vacation in Mexico, and wounds up pooping in her pants:

We hope you enjoyed this clip of Charlotte “Pookipsying” in her pants. Please share this article with anyone in need of a good laugh today!

Screen Shot 2015-03-16 at 1.05.16 PM

As of April 2014, almost 7,000 troops died fighting the war oversees in Afghanistan and Iraq. The losses hit everyone tremendously, especially the family and friends of those who passed away.

No one knew this pain more than Bill Krissoff, the father of First Lt. Nathan Krissoff of Reno, Nevada, who lost his son fighting the war in Iraq.

Bill needed to find a way to honor his son Nathan, so being an Orthopedic Surgeon, he made a decision that surprised everyone.  He enlisted in the Navy Medical Corps in the hope of being assigned to Iraq.

To Bill’s dismay however, he got a letter back saying that he was too old to be enlisted as he was past the age limit at 61 years old.  It was possible to get an age waiver, but that could take up to a year.

Bill was determined, and was not going to give up his dream to honor his fallen son.

How does Bill’s story turn out?  Did he get to serve in the Navy Medical Corps in Iraq? Or, were his dreams shattered due to his age?

Watch this touching video below to find out!

Hint: Bill’s luck changed when he met with President Bush.

Dog Walks Dog- Labrador Retriever Walks Daschund Puppy

Lab walks Dachshund

It is a beautiful thing when pets get along well with other pet members in their family.

Sure, it’s possible for them to not get along, but most of the time, pets are loving and even tend to look after one another.

That is very much the case for this Labrador Retriever and his younger brother- the Dachshund Puppy, shown in this quick 30 second video below.

It was a cold snowy day, and the family went for a walk.  Instead of having the owners walk the Dachshund puppy, this white Labrador Retriever felt some inclination to walk the puppy himself.

No, we’re not talking about walking alongside the puppy, we’re talking about walking the puppy!  This lab took the Dachshund’s leash in it’s mouth, and helped the puppy along the snow.

Maybe there was ice on the ground, and the lab didn’t want the puppy to get hurt, or maybe he just grabbed the leash so the puppy could walk at the same pace as the rest of the family.

Regardless, this video is absolutely heartwarming to watch, as it’s always a nice surprise when we see our pets showing genuine love to one another.

Watch below to see the adorableness for yourself!

twin girls caught on baby cam

It’s a hard enough task in itself to get one child to go to bed for the night and stay asleep, but it’s even harder when you have twins.

The parents of these twin girls were probably relieved when they thought their precious babies had finally gone to bed, and they would be able to rest peacefully for the night.

As this video below will show you, Dad caught the girls on baby cam pulling some crazy shenanigans.

These sneaky twins had awoken- one woke up and woke the other, and they decided to communicate in their own baby language- flapping their arms around, looking like adults having a full-blown conversation.

I would absolutely love to know what these girls were trying to communicate to one another, but the BEST PART was what they did when they heard their dad walking towards the room!

You probably wouldn’t believe me, so you have to watch it here for yourself.

Let’s just say these twins are two smart little girls.

Devil Baby Attacks New Yorkers

devil baby attack

This devil baby video will have you horrified, as it takes pranks to a whole ‘nother level.

Most people, when hearing a baby cry in an unattended stroller on the streets, will go over to investigate.  The folks at Thinkmodo knew this, and used it as an opportunity to scare the living daylights out of innocent passersby.

This animatronic Devil Baby was put on the streets of New York to attack pedestrians while in a remote controlled stroller. It had the ability to headbang, vomit, and downright look possessed.

This prank gave New Yorkers a pretty good scare- their reactions, and looks on their faces to being scared by this baby were priceless.

The “Devil Baby Attack” turned out to be a promotion for a horror film: “The Devils Due,” and I guess was an interesting social experiment to see how many people would bother to check an abandoned stroller.

After watching this video, I think it’s safe to say: most would. See for yourself:

WARNING: This video may be traumatizing to adults.

5 year old on ellen- presidents

The internet is overflowing with adorable kids.  Some have really great voices, cool dance moves, and others are just ridiculously cute. This particular girl from Council Grove Kansas however, has absolutely blown us away with her intelligence!

Her name is Macey Hensley, and she appeared on the Ellen Degeneres Show to share her Presidential knowledge with the world.

Macey is a self taught expert on our 44 American Presidents, from their names, to their pictures, to their wives, and even fun facts- she has it all covered.

The best parts of the video were when Macey would give Ellen information on the Presidents wives; An example on President Rutherford B. Hayes wife: “they called her lemonade lucy because she never served alcohol at the white house.”

If that isn’t absolutely genius to come out of a five year olds mouth, then I don’t know what is.

You have to watch the video to see for yourself, but I promise you, this girl is going to blow you away!

father watches birth of son on vr headset

This father- Jace Larke, was going to miss one of life’s most profound moments- the birth of his third son.

In Australia, it is common for electrical contractors, like Jace to be away for significant life events, even the birth of their children.

Jace and his wife Alison Larke were given a unique opportunity when Samsung approached them to try out their VR headset, which would enable Jace to watch the birth of his son from over 2,500 miles away.

Larke immediately agreed, and when his wife went into labor, the technology allowed him to watch the birth of his son as if he was actually in the delivery room.

This heart warming story was used in Samsung’s latest advertisement, which you can watch below. I have to warn you however, that it will probably bring tears to your eyes:
