Fromm's Law

Fromm's Law states that if two entities are competing for customers--ceteris paribus--consumers will choose the option that allows them to wear the least pants.

I know Amazon is opening up all these brick and mortar bookstores, but Fromm's Law makes me think that most people are just going to stay home in their underwear and shop Amazon.com.

Murphy's Law Of Wind-Direction

"No matter where you stand, da breeze will invariably blow either towards you or in your face, causing you great difficulty in proceeding ahead and/or "cleanly"/effectively performing tasks dat involve/include vapors/particulates/liquids." (Think, Murphy's Law of Cigarette Smoke, or trying to bicycle someplace on a blustery day and da stiff wind keeps switching around so dat it's always hinderingly in your face --- never helpfully at your back --- both on your way to your destination AND on your way back home again!)
P.S. Oh yeah --- and don't even **consider** simply postponing outdoor activities till a "still spell" --- DAT will only mean multitudes of mosquitoes and black flies to torment you and make you WISH for a breeze!

Two classic examples of da infuriating effects of Murphy's Law Of Wind-Direction would be (1) trying to water your hanging-basket plants on da front porch, but da watering-can's sprinkled droplets keep blowing backwards so dat da water both largely misses your plants and gets you soaking-wet, and (2) trying to employ toss-across collecting when gathering returnables along da highway, but having many of da thrown containers just blow right back onto your side of da road.

Obama's Law

A term that originated from Godwin's Law, Obama's Law states that as an online argument grows longer and more heated, it becomes increasingly likely that somebody will blame Obama. When such an event occurs, the person guilty of invoking Obama's Law has effectively forfieted the argument.

"Hey did you see that car wreck the other day?"
"Yeah I did, thanks a lot Obama."
"It wasn't Obama's fault."
"Well, that's Obama's Law."

veselekov's zeroth law

A scientific law explicitly stating that all members of the female race shall be unable to be sexually attracted to any man who has full autonomous control of their eyebrows. This does not hold true for any relationship that remains at a platonic level, such as friendships, or even jogging buddies. Predates his first law of gas, grass, or ass: no one rides for free

Player 1: Man, that dude's eyebrows are going everywhere! he's even doing the wave!

Player 2: He probably suffers from veselekov's zeroth law
