Law of Beej

The rule by which any two Beej’s must battle to the death upon meeting face to face. Like the highlander, the winner gains power upon the losers death by way of obtaining the losing Beej’s most developed skill. This effect is further increased if more than 2 Beej’s meet at once, though the effect is only triggered when the Beej count is 1.
Friend: “How did you get that black eye”
Beej: “I ran into Beej from downtown and we were forced to adhere to the law of Beej. On the plus side, I can now play the tuba.”

Trevor's Law

Trevor's Law states that when someone has become decently high, and have found a more comfortable situation, they will not return to the previous situation unless they become less high. This explains phenomena such as "couch lock."

Harpers Law

Similar in practice to Godwins Law. Relating to the Liberal sponsorship scandal of the Chretien Government in Canada (referred to in the mainstream media as "Adscam"), Harpers Law is used compulsively by supporters of the current Conservative government to deflect from any debate regarding corruption, lack of ethics, incompetence, and transparency. Once used however, like Godwins Law, it shows the complete lack of any factual argument by the user.
-Did you hear about how Stephen Harper likes to eat a puppy with his orange juice for Breakfast?
-So what, at least he isn't responsible for Adscam!
-Did you just use Harpers Law?

-Did you hear that Harper is dynamiting Parliament, and moving the government from Ottawa to Calgary?
-Calgary sucks, but at least its not Adscam!
-Dude, I know you love Ambrose's hair, but enough with Harpers Law already!

-Have you heard that Del Mastro just robbed a Pizza Hut? The moneys still there, but he got all the pepporoni.
-Adscam!!!!!
-Why do you keep using Harpers Law? Harpers Law is not going to reimburse Pizza Hut or bring that pepporoni back, is it?

-I read that everyone who isn't a Conservative is to be rounded up, given a flannel shirt and John Deere cap, and is being shipped to Ft. McMurray as part of "Canada's Action Plan." Is this true?
-Adscam! Adscam! Adscam!!!!!
-Harpers Law is not going to save you from being tossed on a Greyhound with some Newfie going to some camp off Highway 63! This is serious! Stop resorting to Harpers Law!!!

Eagan's Law

A law that governs the flow of unfortunate events in time. Applies equally to philosophical, physical, mental, and emotional conflicts. Eagan's Law states that:

"Given a specific set of circumstances, the most personally inconvenient outcome of a situation will always be the end result. Should one make a decision to enact a more convenient solution, that solution will end up becoming more inconvenient than the first.

However, in the event that one recognizes the potential of the most inconvenient outcome, an equally inconvenient but unforeseen outcome shall take its place."

Over the years, many have equated Eagan's Law with Murphy's Law, which holds that "anything that can go wrong will go wrong." Although the two are similar in subject matter, Eagan's Law provides a more comprehensive understanding of unfortunate phenomena than Murphy's Law. Murphy himself admitted this often, crediting Eagan's Law as the basis of much of his own work (citation needed).
Josh: "I went all the way back to the front of the store for a cart, and now we don't even need it. Plus, it's the one with the shitty wheel."

Andrew: "Chalk that one up to Eagan's Law.
