Richard's law

"Never assume the impossible of the ambiguous"
You know, when you assume somebody meant something impossible, rather than correctly infer what they clearly meant you look like a jerk. It's Richard's law.

Law of Demonstration

The law of demonstration is a subset of Murphy’s law and works in two ways. A functioning process will not work when demonstrated, but a broken process will work perfectly. E.g. when trying to show IT an issue your computer is having, the issue will not occur.
“I was walking a colleague through a new process I created yesterday, but it just wouldn’t work. When I ran it by myself later, it was just fine!”

Boyle's Law

In contrast to others definitions of this, the actual Boyle's law, commonly referred to as the Boyle-Mariotte Law (Mariotte's law in France, describes the relationship between pressure and volume of a confined gas.

The equation is usually written as PV = k where pressure multiplied by volume equals some constant k.

The law in simplest terms states that when the temperature of a given mass of confined gas is constant, the product of its pressure and volume is also constant.

If boyle's law is comparing the same substance under two different sets of conditions, the law can be expressed as P1V1 (1 being subscript), = P2V2 (2 being subscript). This means that as volume increases, the pressure fo a gas decreases proportionally, and vice versa.

Boyle's law can be applied, and is applied to divers. Such that if a diver takes a lung full of air while they are underwater, that air will expand in his lungs as he rises to the surface. If the diver holds his breath, or ascends too rapidly, such as comparable to a cork being opened in a quick motion, the expanding air can thereforth rupture his lungs. This is reason number one why exploring the ocean can be dangerous, save whatever creatures co-exist in the deep blue. This law can be used in tandem with Charles' Law, Gay-Lussac's Law, Henry's Law, and Dalton's law.

Boyle's Law, Charles's Law, and Gay-Lussac's law form what is known as the Combined Gas Law, or the General Gas Equation.
Person 1 to a diver: "Remember Boyle's Law. Whatever you do when surfacing, DO NOT rise quickly. Take your time."

Best friend-in-law

When your best friend gets married to the person of their dreams and you’re also friends with that person. Kinda like usual in-laws but likable.
At the wedding Lewton stood up to give his best friend Fischer and his new best friend-in-law Kyla a congratulatory toast.

Law of Aviation

There is no way a bee
should be able to fly.

Its wings are too small to get
its fat little body off the ground.
