Pankow's Law

If currently employed, upon accepting a new job, the time between leaving one’s old job and starting the next should be maximized and fully enjoyed, as it is totally worry-free.
"Dude, I just put in my two weeks at Cubicles Inc. I'm leaving on the 10th, and starting at Spreadsheets Corp. on the 11th."

"Seriously? What about Pankow's Law?"

"Awwwwww fuck. I better tell SC that I came down with that 6-week long disease that's been going around."

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.

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 The Swiss law is the correlation between the lifespan of a/an product/object and the time it takes for it to be outdated.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 To conclude, the Lifespan doesn't determine if it will become outdated.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 My computer is way outdated but it's Lifespan is supposed to be 5 years."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."

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."

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.
