Kocian Principle

The principle that describes that the design of a logo must be fully comprehensible, in the same manner, when translated from black & white to color. The principle was developed in the 21st century by Brooke Kocian, an avid designer and artist.
That logo doesn't follow the Kocian Principle, because there are two different messages presented I see the black & white versus the color version.

Kenny Principle

The rule that either a friend is A) with his girlfriend or B) doing something with his family. In either case he is too busy to hang out with friends. Betting usually occurs among the collective group whether he cannot chill due to A or B.
Friend one: "hey, we were supposed to hang out yesterday, what happened?"

Friend two: "oh, I was going to but then my mom told me I had to go shopping with her'

Friend one: "great, we didn't hang out and I lost $20 thinking you were with your girlfriend. God damn Kenny Principle."

e-Peter Principle

Related to the Peter Principal (by Dr. Laurence J. Peter) that describes job promotion to the point of incompetence, the e-Peter Principal occurs when we purchase a piece of technology that finally exceeds our ability to competently use the technology for the intended purpose. For some of us, it's the treadmill that becomes the close-hangar, for others it is the digital camera that serves as a paper weight because we are tired of buying memory cards and stuffing them full of photos...
What happened? Margie used to be able to text message on her cell.

Yeah, but the new toy hit her with an e-Peter Principle. She can't even answer a phone call.

The Katherine Heigle Principle

When an actor turns on the creator/writers/producers of a job that made them rich and/or famous.
Did you see Angus T. Jones bashing Two and a Half Men!?! That's an example of The Katherine Heigle Principle at work.

the certainty principle

The Certainty Principle is a cosmic force only recently discovered by a nerd with stupiditis. It is the principle of being certain. Even though you are a complete idiot and have no idea what you are doing, you are certain you are right. Many people believe they are certain, or right, when in actual fact they are just downright stupid and suffer from brain haemorrhoids. If you meet someone who suffers from the Certainty Principle, execute them onsite as they may do something stupid.
Idiot: The Certainty Principle protects me
Smart Person: Fuck you're an idiot and deserve to die

Pigeonhole Principle

A principle where there must at least 2 guys occupying the same girl.

Based off math
Ex: 3 girls 4 guys, 2 guys can have a girl to themselves but the last girl must have both of the last two guys inside of her.
wow that orgy was insane they had 10 girls and 11 guys
yeah, using the pigeonhole principle we can guarantee that if all guys were constantly inside a girl with no breaks, there has to be at least 1 girl that was taking on two guys.
