The BAM Effect

When you go at least a week without shaving or combing your hair. You dress completely like Shit and look just out right awful. Then just before a big get together or meeting up with a girl you like, BAM!! You clean up real nice. The contrast from before and after makes you seem so much nicer.

The Chen Effect

To be the one that dies behind a teammate when that teammate should be the one to die in a video game.

While playing a video game, the player dies even though his teammates should have died first due to being the one that the enemy is targeting or should have targeted first. This effect occurs when one is unlucky enough to die first or be the only one to die when his friends/teammates should have been the one to die due to being in front of him/her.
Example:
* 2 Players enter a room and the enemy kills the second player but not the first *

Brandon: How did I die and you lived when I entered the room second?!?!

Tristan: LOL, that's the Chen Effect for you.

Mendela Effect

Many of us — mostly total strangers — remember the exact same events with the exact same details. However, our memories are different from what’s in history books, newspaper archives, and so on.

This isn’t a conspiracy, and we’re not talking about “false memories.” Many of us speculate that parallel realities exist, and we’ve been “sliding” between them without realizing it.
OMG You remember that too that's probably just the mendela effect
