Ebert's Law

When you ask somebody to try their own hand at something before criticizing your efforts, you have violated Ebert's Law and lost the argument. Roger Ebert is not a filmmaker, but he knows what he likes and doesn't, and has every right to say so. Similarly, people don't need to be chefs to recognize a good restaurant, or musicians to appreciate a symphony.
Person 1: Your story is rubbish!
Person 2: I bet you couldn't do better!

Damian's Law 

Damian's Law: The hotter a girl is, the less likely a guy will care if she farts.
Males pay less attention to senses other than sight (ie smell, taste) with regards to females, than females do towards men. What this means - The hotter a girl is, the less likely a guy will care if she farts. This is known as Damian's Law.

Skitts Law 

1) people who try to issue corrections (particularly spelling and grammar) are likely to commit the same offense themselves, usually in the actual post where they're making the correction.

2) Any correction of the speech or writing of others will contain at least one grammatical, spelling, or typographical error.
On a social network or forum:
"my mohter went out"
"dude, you mispelled mother"
"dude, you misspelled misspelled"

That's Skitts Law

stanford law 

One of the most prestigious law schools in the United States, which also happens to be located in a paradise-like climate in Northern California. Stanford Law School is where you will find a small class of genius students where the average admit has a near-perfect LSAT score, a near-perfect GPA, work experience the rest of us could only hope for, and a generally laid back (non-prestige whore) mindset which allowed them to turn down offers from numerous other schools such as Columbia, Harvard, and Yale. A Stanford lawyer will be just as successful as a student from any one of these other schools, but he/she will also have enjoyed their 3 years of law school much more than a student from elsewhere. Also, an important note... Stanford Law students in general are pretty damn attractive.
Person 1: Did you hear that Bill got into Stanford law?
Person 2: What?!?! He is going to get a world class education while living in paradise. He will be a rich, elitist, power-lawyer who will absolutely dominate in whatever field of law he chooses to pursue after graduation, and he will likely make a significant positive impact on the world as well!

Perry Mason Law 

When a lawyer arguing a case does so without clothing. Typically the judge disrobes as well so as to distract the jury from the case at hand, and therefore cloud their judgment of the accused.
"What do you think? Guilty or not guilty?"
"I don't know man, that smokin' hot lawyer is practicing Perry Mason Law. Flip a coin."
