Law of Surprise

The Law of Surprise is a custom as old as humanity itself. The Law dictates that a man saved by another is expected to offer to his savior a boon whose nature is unknown to one or both parties. In most cases, the boon takes the form of the saved man's firstborn child, conceived or born without the father's knowledge
Law of Surprise... it's something we invoke at times, but rarely. Usually we just take gold.

Law of Grote

If there is a predator missile in Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare 2, it will defy all game logic and instead of going for the group of 3 or 4 guys, it will go for you. You can not hide, it will always find you, and you will not survive.
When playing CoD, I swear that I can never break the law of Grote. I hate predator missiles!

Denny's Law

The law simply states: You do not go to Denny's. You end up at Denny's.

Nobody wakes up in the morning and thinks "I'm going to go to Denny's later." If they do fully intend to go to Denny's, then Denny's Law takes effect in a slightly different fashion. A sequence of events will begin to unfold that will cause literally anything else to happen, and after a day of insanity, they may still end up at Denny's, by chance alone.

Denny's Law is also colloquially referred to as "The 11th Commandment," by some. This was originally thought to be a joke, but archaeologists just uncovered a lost piece of Moses' tablet in the deserts around Mt. Sinai, which roughly reads: "Thou Shalt Not Arrive at the house of Denny by predetermined intent, for to do so would be a sin; it is only acceptable to arrive there by chance, confusion, or the complete lack of an IHOP within an hours drive of ye location."

There is a small subculture of people known as "Denners," who spend their lives on a wild ride, attempting to end up at Denny's without actually meaning to do so at any given moment. For some, they find themselves continuously thwarted by the second form of Denny's law. But others, and they are few, have managed to catch on to something they call "The Dhenma Cycle," or "The Flow," which allows them to thoughtlessly end up at Denny's whenever it is the right moment for that to happen.
"Bro, I don't even know how, but like, I'm at Denny's right now. The last thing I remember is smoking a pile of weed at Grant's house, then I was standing on top of a building, then I was climbing a tree in my boxers at the park, and now I'm here and I think I have an elephant costume on or something..."

"Bruh that's Denny's Law. Deal with it."

Law of The Internet

If you videotape yourself doing something risky, you're bound to fuck it up and end up on the internet show "=3" hosted by RayWilliamJohnson.
Any fail video reposted by Fail Blog or Break would be an example of the "Law of The Internet."

Consensus Law

A rule or practice that, while not technically official, is generally agreed upon and followed. (i.e. an unwritten rule)
Guy 1: Dude, what was that? Everyone knows it's not cool to screen peek!

Guy 2: Whatever, who made that rule?

Guy 1: It's consensus law, bro.

Watermelon Law

A law or action which on the surface helps an individual or group but because of racist or bigoted underpinnings, the law or action actually hurts that individual or group.
Mississippi passed a watermelon law to give all black folks a free watermelon, to make them happy so to make sure that they don't riot and start stealing.
