This is a corollary of Godwin's Law which states that if an online discussion about rock music goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare some band or performer or a situation to Roger Waters, Peter Gilmoure and Nick Mason and the acrimonious breakup of Pink Floyd, the point at which effectively the discussion or thread often ends.
Ian "Panic! at the Disco are now just Brendon Urie's solo project."
Shane "Just like Pink Floyd after Roger Waters left, it was nothing but David Gilmour's ego trip."
Ian "Malone's Law! this conversation is OVER!"

When the incessant consumption of pornography of a fictional character convinces a mass audience that the character in question is either
A.) Curvier than how the character actually appears in media
B.) Less curvy than their last appearance, creating anger in said porn consumers.

"The vessel, or vehicle with the greatest gross tonnage has the right of way."
Based in part on the navigation rule about ships restricted in ability to maneuver and how other ships need to stay away. And the reality of if there is a collision between two or more vehicles the smaller vehicles will take more damage than the larger vehicles. And that greater amount of damage is shared with the occupants of the smaller vehicle.

Smart car v. F-350 crew cab pickup. Pickup driver is shook up and possibly bruised from the airbag, they can walk away. Smart car driver is in the ambulance on the way to the hospital with multiple fractures and or internal injuries. Moral of the story, violating the tonnage law will end up in pain & suffering. Even though you may have the right to be where you are, the right will not protect you from harm.

Pat's law is simply this, when conducting a project, it is alway the last thing that goes wrong. and on this last miniscule task, you always spend 60% or more of your time on it. Making the last item in a string of items the last possible screw up. This also leads to PAT'S SYNDROME
"You have to drill five holes, the first four were easy and no problems occured. The last hole your drill bit breaks, you replace the bit, and then your battery goes dead. you replace the battery and the motor burns out." this is pat's law

Techies Law is a definition coined by Strictly-Software.com to describe a Murphies Law type scenario related to software development.
The law states that:
If you have spent considerable time trying to resolve a bug in your code, a technical problem or any other such computer related issue and you finally resort to asking for help from a colleague or support team member. You can be rest assured that when you go to show that person the problem in action it has miraculously resolved itself all by itself OR you will immediately spot the cause of the problem.
You are then derided for either being a numpty and / or wasting their precious time for no reason.

I just experienced Techies Law in action. After spending hours trying to debug some code I reluctantly called our lead developer over to help me but as soon as he arrived at my desk I immediately realised what the bug was. He called me a numpty.
I am going to utilise Techies Law by spending a third of the time I usually spend bug fixing before asking for help.
I am going to pray to the God of Geekdom that Techies Law will enact itself and fix my network connection for me by calling someone else over to have a look at the problem.

Justin's law refers to the tendency of impressive feats performed by an individual to occur unwitnessed by others. In some formulations, Justin's law is extended to include an individual's inability to recreate the feat when observed by the group.
