Neil's Law

For every item dropped on the ground, by accident, each item will fall in a place where it becomes non visible.
I dropped my pill on the ground. Neil's law is in effect, as I can't see where it landed.

Law's Theory of Chess References

Law's Theory of Chess References has two main points.

1. After a while, in any argument, debate or discussion, there will inevitably be a reference to a chess piece, chess tactic, chess master, or something Chess like.

“Control of the patent rights will signal checkmate to their actions against us.”

“You don’t have to be a chess master to understand how this simple pyramid scheme will make us all rich. Yes a check, make it out to cash, will be quite acceptable”

“ The Wrestler considered his suplex the best part of his end-game arsenal.”

Note: It is not a Chess reference if you refer to a disreputable rapscallion, as having a ‘Checkered past”

2. In any sporting event, no more than ten minutes into the start of any contest, one or several of the sportscasters will utter some variation of "It's a chess match, with these two coaches, every time they meet in competition."

Note in the final 2 minutes of any NBA or NCAA College Basketball game, any substitution of good rebounders, good outside shooters, taller defenders, versus best free throw percentage shooters, requires that one or more sports commentators speak these words:
"Yet another substitution, Yes, it has become a chess match, " and the Color Commentator again paid homage to Law's Theory of Chess References before the 3rd quarter.

Roddan's Law

This law comes into play when a person uses the phrases "shouldn't we be focusing on the soliders" or "shouldn't we be focusing on the war?" when they deem a certain news item frivolous. The longer the conversation about said 'frivolous" news goes on, the more likely it is that someone will bring up soldiers or war and that others will start parroting the phrase. It's often used to shut down a conversation, after all, who can argue that the news shouldn't be focusing on the war or on soldiers? However, they person using Roddan's law is rightfully ignored.
"I can't believe that they're showing all this news about this celebrity!" cried Bob "Why don't they focus this much on our real heroes, the soldiers?"

"If you're so worried about the soldiers, why don't you donate to the veterans or volunteer to work with them?" asked Jim.

"Nah. I just wanna sit in my chair, sip my beer, and say 'oh, that's so sad' or 'man, that's a true hero!' when the news comes on. Makes me feel like a patriotic American!"

"Roddan's Law" said Jim and shook his head sadly.
