Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration

"If you leave your vehicle's engine running during a delay in proceeding (traffic-jam, road construction, accident-resolution, "stuck" red signal-light, etc.), you will be sitting there for many minutes, just wasting gas. The instant you turn the key off and climb out of your seat to stretch, however, THAT'S when the line of traffic will begin moving again, and thus you will have shut off your engine "for nothing", AND you will now be holding up everyone behind you while you hastily hop back into the driver's seat and re-start the engine so that you can move forward again."

I finally took da plunge and bought a second-hand Toyota Prius because I'd eventually had one too many cases of Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration... the Prius automatically shuts down its power during stand-stills, and then uses its electric motor to provide instant mobility as soon as you're ready to go again.

Ohio Center for Law Related Education

Commonly shortened to the OCLRE. Used to pop off with the best mock trial competitions in Ohio, but now takes 3 weeks to return scores and another 2 to award best witnesses and attorneys. Hasn't been the same since they went virtual, and they just might be using COVID as an excuse to slack off.

Man, I sure hope the Ohio Center for Law Related Education gives us our scores this weekend.

First time?

First time.

Bravo's Law

Bravo's Law is an internet rule which states: Any clearly stated opinion will be willfully misinterpreted by at least one person on the internet.

This originated from a viral tweet by @BravoCoolee, who complained that you could claim that you loved pancakes and then be accused of hating waffles, which is not implied by that statement.

"All I said was 'I love pancakes' and then people were accusing me of hating waffles! Bravo's Law will get you every time, man."

The Law of Conservation of Hype

Hype cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from one form to another

Why did Marvel have to release the second Captain America: Civil War trailer right before the release of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice? Due to The Law of Conservation of Hype, some of my BVS hype has now been transferred to Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
