Donnelly's Law

Through self-selection critics of Bitcoin become dumber and less numerous the higher that the USD:BTC price goes. As the last remaining no-coiners, they clutch onto prior beliefs to rationalise away the new economic reality that they cannot comprehend and espouse it loudly to either prevent the inevitable, find company or appease prior fiat-Keynes overlords. Price and stupidity of this group appear to be correlated, while their population number is inversely correlated.
"What they really should do is back Bitcoin with USD!" Slow down egg head, you appear to be demonstrating Donnelly's Law.

Larry's Law

All internet discussions regarding video cards or GPUs, given enough time, will decay into a discussion regarding digital currency mining.

Term comes from the user VirtualLarry at the Anandtech GPU forums, and ardent defender of mining digital currency using GPUs. GPU topics involving VirtualLarry would all invariably invite or devolve into discussions about digital currency mining.
"I know this topic is about the performance of the 6600XT, but I have to say that given the cards are out of stock due to miners buying them all up..."

"Ah man, this topic got Larry's Lawed!"

Business-in-law

When a person marries the child of a business owner only to “get into” the business that the parent owns. A great way to land a good job without a lot of effort or work.
Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI):
“If I marry that woman, her dad owns a big business! Nothing makes a woman more attractive than daddy’s big bank-roll. I need to hit that to guarantee I never have to work hard in my life!”

Ron Johnson is a product of a business-in-law marriage.
