A law with corollaries outlining the Murphy's Law of Surfing:
When you are paddling out to the take off zone, there will inevitably be a huge set of waves that breaks on your head and insures that you will be exhausted and demoralized.
First Corollary of Surfy's Law: When you finally make it to the line-up after paddling through a set, there will be no sets of waves breaking that you can catch or ride.
Second Corollary of Surfy's Law: When you do take off on a wave and ride it to the inside, there will be another set that arises to impede your paddle out to the line-up.

Get the Nicky's Law mug.Du's Law is similar to Godwins Law in some respects. Du's Law is an assertion that has become an Internet adage. It states: "As an online discussion grows longer, so does the probability of a reference to Wikipedia. In other words, Du said that, given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably makes reference to Wikipedia. The calling of Du's Law immediately ends the argument.
