Bell's Jokes Law 

Bell's Jokes Law states that the potential funniness of a joke is inversely proportional to its length.
Thus, long jokes, with excruciatingly long build-ups and high expectations rarely generate belly laughs, whilst short ones can easily take you by surprise and induce spontaneous mirth.

Long joke: An Scotsman, a trout, two donkeys and a nun went blah, blah, blah, blah...... blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...... blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and do you know what the nun said?
Get trout of my house and take your key Dons with you. :O/

Short joke: What should you do if you find a trumpet growing in your garden?
Root it oot! :O)

Man - 'Hey, those two jokes just demonstrated Bell's Jokes Law!'

Rowley's Law

Simply put, Rowley's law states that 8 out of 10 people are idiots or morons. There may be others who have tried to pen similar laws, but Rowley of the M Lounge was the first to describe this phenomena in detail and his older posts describe this to a T. In the most basic terms, you can say the 8 out of 10 rule applies whenever you see someone behaving like a moron (which is often).

That guy Lee just shit his shorts, he must be in the 8 out of 10. That is Rowley's law in its simplest form.

Amanda's Law 

It doesn't matter what other people say. What you say is right. What you believe it to be is how it is. Anything else is far from the truth.

You: I was home all night.

Me: No you worn't you were out with your friends. Your a liar. It's Amanda's Law.

Calvin’s Law

Coined by League of Legends streamer Elite500 (Calvin), it states

> Giving a bad player kills will not make him better.

That is, the better player will win in all likelihood, regardless of leads gained early game. One should take comfort in his skill above his opponent rather than frustration with circumstances caused by jungler dynamics or other arbitraries, fundamentally out of his control.

Calvin’s Law is ultimately a generalization of common economic knowledge, that lump-sum cash transfers are typically the least effective type of aid which can be given (most notably, the cash transfer programs undertaken by numerous US NGOs in developing areas of Africa). Research by the Overseas Development Institute finds that the risk of corruption, lack of longer-term investment opportunities, and lack of infrastructure and training often render lump-sum cash transfers as the worst alternative among such options as direct training/building/humanitarian aid or regular smaller cash transfers.

Put another way, Calvin’s Law is commentary on the increasingly nepotic and privileged social dynamics of modern society, and a statement of hope despite such conditions. That, regardless of one’s birth and upbringing, as long as one possesses the skill necessary, deserved success will come, in due time.

This isn’t a death, it’s my Calvin’s Law angle!

father in law 

A too often overlooked member of your wife's family, who takes the place of the dreaded mother in law if that one is dead or if, by a weird twist of fate, she's not hating you. Rarely poses a threat to the daughter in law cuz the son-in-law is usually his favourite target.

Has to be approached with extreme caution if you're the lucky man proposing to his beloved-and-only daughter. Might welcome you with a bazooka if you're not matching his expectations to the letter. Will constantly try to tow your wife away from you, saying you don't deserve her or that your just another cheating perv. Oh and don't lie in his presence or you'll soon discover that bastard knows EVERYTHING about your past! (yes everything)

Randall almost punched his father in law in the face after that bastard tried to convince Tanya that her husband was attending a swingers' club.
