Murphy's Law of Internet-Speed

"The 'speed' of the Internet --- i.e., how long web-pages take to 'load' and/or respond to you mouse-clicks --- will be in direct inverse proportion to how urgently you need to view the desired material; the connection will be even slower at times there's someone else waiting for you who's also in a hurry.
My buddy needed me to hastily Google engine-bolt-torquing specs during an emergency-repair task he was struggling to get done before a downpour, but the Web was "slower dan molasses runnin' uphill in da wintertime" --- it was a classic "Murphy's Law of Internet-Speed" scenario!

Frunken's Law

A term that originated in Cheezburger comments. Much like Godwin's Law, it is the claim that the longer an internet discussion goes, the more likely it is that, regardless of the topic, someone will make a rape analogy.
"Wow, that guy's pretty sexist, wonder why she's with him."

"Why is it a woman's fault for dating a jerk and not the guy's for being a jerk? This is just like when a woman gets raped, people say, 'Oh, she shouldn't have been wearing such provocative clothing, she should know better.'"

"Frunken's Law in record time."
