Gunter's Law

Gunter's Law:
A term that originated on Facebook, Gunter's Law states that as an online argument grows longer and more heated, it becomes increasingly likely that somebody will bring up Donald Trump, the Alt-Right, the KKK, or the Nazis. When such an event occurs, the person guilty of invoking Gunter's Law has effectively won the argument.
"Ironically, Trump will be forced to confiscate all privately-owned guns when he gets sufficiently paranoid about an assassination attempt...just like the Nazis."

Nice job invoking Gunter's Law!

Mophie's Law

The cosmic accident of running out of power on your cell phone at the worst possible moment.

Newell's Law

Applies during a sale via the Steam digital distribution platform. Newell's Law states "If you buy a discounted game before the last day of a sale, it will have a more substantial discount the next day." It is named for Gabe Newell, the CEO of Valve Software.

Alternate definition applies during non-sale events, in which case the decision is made after waiting and evaluating a game's worth to purchase at full retail, then the game goes on sale the very next weekend.
Gamer 1: "I bought the Civ4 complete pack yesterday for 33% off thinking it was a great deal, but if I had just waited until today I could have bought it for 75% off!"

Gamer 2: "Newell's Law."

law camp

A one week camp where high school students learn about law and participate in a mock trial on the last day. There are many lectures, but the people are amazing. Also, love starts here, but it ends abruptly when the camp ends.
Billy: I met this awesome girl at law camp where I also learned about the difficulties of being an attorney.

Joe Jack: That's awesome! I think I want to practice law! You don't plan on ever talking to that girl again do you?

Billy: Of course not!
