Stone's Law 

The principle that the more stoned you are, the more likely normal things around you are to break. It is a direct relationship between the user and the objects (electronics, doors, food packaging, public fountains) wherein the objects break in front of the user, causing him or her to wonder if the item is really broken or if they are really high.

Circa 2012: named for the American designer, professor and coffee connoisseur, who first proposed such an idea in 2006.
(After getting high) "Weird, my headphones have always worked before but now the left earpiece is broken. Is it broken? Or is this just Stone's Law?"

Stone’s worth meaning that you don’t give a toss about something.
I wouldn’t give a stone’s worth for that.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 

The CORRECT title for the first installment of the well known Harry Potter book or film series. JK Rowling has personally said that her biggest regret about the series is the name change in some countries, and she thinks of it as 'Philosopher's'.

It makes much more sense calling it 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' as a Philosopher's Stone is a real item that alchemists tried to create hundreds of years ago. Nicholas Flamel is also known to have been working on this. Throughout history, there is no record of any concept known as the 'Sorcerer's Stone'.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the first novel in the Harry Potter series written by J. K. Rowling and featuring Harry Potter, a young wizard. It describes how Harry discovers he is a wizard, makes close friends and a few enemies at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and with the help of his friends thwarts an attempted comeback by the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents when Harry was one year old.

Philosopher's stone 

A mythical stone which alchemy practically revolves around. It was desired by a lot of entrepreneurs (see suckers) in the dark ages because of its promise to turn ordinary materials like coal into gold. Naturally, all of those who sought the stone practiced alchemy, and not surprisingly they came up empty-handed.
A Philosopher's stone would be awesome to have, if only it existed in the first place.
Don't waste your life searching for a Philosopher's stone.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 

The crappy name the Yanks gave to the first Harry Potter book, actually called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Was changed because they didn't think Americans would understand the word philosopher. Which is a good point I suppose.
Me: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the first book in the Harry Potter series :)

American Nerd: Isn't it called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone? :/

Me: Ugh, I hate Yanks. -.-
