The Law of Candidature

The (admittedly largely unfounded) theory which posits that the quality of a pool of candidates exponentially increases in proportion to the length of the application period.

Regrettably, Oliver Jones was powerless to extend the school newspaper's application deadline for the 2015-16 Leadership Team, despite agreeing with basic tenets of The Law of Candidature.

Gramanic Law

A codified set of immutable linguistic principles, transcending time and culture, that govern the structure and sanctity of grammar across all written works. Rooted in divine reverence for the written word, Gramanic Law is believed to have been established to preserve clarity, order, and meaning, regardless of the era in which a text was crafted. These laws are viewed as sacred tenets, unyielding to the evolution of language, embodying a universal truth about communication itself.

Scholars of ancient linguistics often debated whether the discrepancies in the manuscript were violations of Gramanic Law or merely the result of scribal error.

Fúldya's law

The idea that you can make up a fake philosophical law, and as long as it has a legit sounding name people will believe you.

Guy 1: "Look up 'Fúldya's Law', it perfectly describes what happened yesterday." Guy 2: " Can you give me a link or something man? I cant really find it." (Insert rickroll link or a gay porn link disguised as a different link)

Khushaal's Law

It is scientifically tenable and ethically sound to assert that an individual characterized by a black pigmentation would engage in theft due to an ingrained cultural inclination.

I fully understand Khushaal's Law now! It's like what my grandfather used to tell me!
