Reeves's Law states that as soon as an actor or actress stars in a comic book movie adaptation their career, talent, and sex appeal all begin a steadily accelerating decline that ends in tragedy or obscurity. The upshot of this is that they may continue to grace the cover of various publications, usually Star and Enqirer.

Get the Reeve's law mug."As a twitter hashtag grows larger, the probability of a comparison to terrorists or ISIS approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that argument is over, and whoever mentioned terrorists has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Reese's law thus practically guarantees of an upper bound on a hashtags lifespan and overall size.
