(1) If p, then q.

(2) p

This Maltese cross tube isn't working, clearly it obeys Parsons' law!

This is not the way it should be, it must be Parsonic.

Hudson's Law

When you see a hot girl with a complete douche bag; when a girl is dating someone many, many levels below her hotness level; when a cool girl dates a total loser.

Hudson's Law comes from Kate Hudson and her husband, Chris Robinson who is one ugly mother. But, he does make up for something for being the front man of a bad ass band."
"Man that girl is freaking smokin'."
"Yeah, but her boy friend plays magic and collects puss."
"Man, such an example of Bowen's Law."

Taylor's Law

Banks and corporates have a nasty habit of using buzzwords to promote their product in a way start-ups never do. As such Simon Taylor (host of the Fintech Insider podcast) noted, there is an inversely proportional relationship between how many Buzzwords (AI, Machine Learning and Blockchain) a bank uses, and how good their product is.

Taylor's law: The amount of times you mention AI, ML or Blockchain in your product is inversley proportional to how good it is

Damn that press release from BIG BANK sure proves Taylor's Law. Did you see the amount of times they said AI?
