Hanham's Law

Hanham's law states that defecation for males is only complete following:
1. Colon is purged of all fecal matter
2. Following the purging of the colon, a small volume of urine is passed. This is due to the prostate no longer exerting pressure on the urinary tract as when the colon was full.
Failure to wait for the completion of step 2 can result in rectal discomfort, small bits of urine in the one's underwear, and the general feeling of an unsuccessful poo.
Following a particularly hasty poo, Kevin felt tension and discomfort in his rectum throughout the entire meeting because he forgot to follow Hanham's law.

murphy's law

More or less, if a cat always lands on its feet, and the bread always lands peanut butter side down, then if you strap a piece of bread to a cat and drop it, what happens? It implodes.

Meyer's Law

An informal law of Internet discussions (mostly on blogs, but also extends to forums, Twitter conversations, email discussions and instant messaging debates) which states that when the topic is related to intelligent design, a commenter will inevitably mention the book "Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design" by Stephen C. Meyer, which was published in 2009.

The speed at which the citation appears can be positively correlated with a high frequency of citation for books that fundamentally disagree with the core ideas in "Signature in the Cell", as well as the amount of time spent talking about the DNA code and information theory. In fact, any mention of the term "biological information" will act as a catalyst in this regard.

The identification of this law came after merciless online marketing by the Discovery Institute forced most of the world's intelligent design proponent population to purchase the book (or at least pretend to have read it).
Commenter: "I notice you have made no comment regarding the new book Signature in the Cell by Stephen Meyer. That is probably just because you haven't had the time to read it."

Meyer's Law has been applied to the discussion from which the above comment was taken.
