"Let's say I'm a devout follower of a god known as The Flying Spaghetti Monster. Now, let's say I support horrendously bigoted notions based purely on the word (Spaghetti's Law, or Biblesghetti) of this floating hunk of spaghetti. You don't feel that's a bit unfair?"
"If you want me to worship a flying spaghetti monster, or guilt me into believing that faith in the spaghetti monster is important, you must first prove that the flying spaghetti monster exists."

Get the Port Law mug.Named in honour of Australian conservative politician, Brendan Nelson -
"As a debate about the economy continues, the probability of the increasing price of petrol at the bowser being mentioned by a non-government politician approaches one."
It is considered a disingenuous debating technique, analogous to Godwin's Law, unless the person raising the price of petrol is actually proposing a genuine alternative.
COROLLARY: Athanasi's Observation - the gap between a political discussion commencing and Nelson's Law being demonstrated decreases over time.

Ending every media release with a disingenuous reference to the cost of "getting petrol into the car" is an example of Nelson's Law.
