Law and Order

the general population’s education on legal cases and murder. Also a tv show that you will accidentally spend 6 hours watching instead of doing productive things.

Woman 1: I spend too much time watching law and order!
Woman 2: In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The police who investigate crime, and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are there stories. DUN DUN

Swiss Law

Named after the famous Swiss Brand, maker of most notably pocket knives. The Swiss law is the correlation between the lifespan of a/an product/object and the time it takes for it to be outdated. This is most obvious in electronics whre Moore's Law is also applicable but is also found in auto industry. If someone where to plot out the lifespan versus outdatedness the graph would roughly symbolize negative correlation where the apex being Current and the Beginning of Lifespan. Then both decrease exponentialy. To conclude, the Lifespan doesn't determine if it will become outdated.

John ,"Ahh, man. My computer is way outdated but it's Lifespan is supposed to be 5 years."
Fred ,"That sucks dude, should of thought about the Swiss Law."

Friggan Law

Friggan Law refers to one of Murphy's famous laws; If 'A' and 'B' are both needed to accomplish 'C' AND either 'A' OR 'B' is in a state of brokenness, the working entity will most likely break when the previously broken prerequisite of 'C' is fixed.

Murphy's friggan Law... I finally get the washing machine fixed and the very next day the dryer goes up in sparks and smoke! :(
