Murphy S Law 2000

Now on the verge of the new millennium, "Murphy's Law" is back to pay homage to a whole new world of things that can go wrong--from cable TV to the "Year 2000 Problem"--in a whole new collection of hilarious and undeniable rules, axioms, conundrums, and corollaries. Illustrations.

For more than a quarter of a century, Murphy's Law has provided the last word on things going wrong. Positive thinking is all very fine when the world is treating you right, but when things go awry, it's Murphy's Law that comes up with the goods-the pithy revelations and undeniable truths that document our limitless potential for misplaced insight, hopeless wit, and pessimistic wisdom. This special anniversary collection features the best of Murphy's Law--plus new 21st-century entries proving that with advances in technology, even more can go wrong. For example: No matter what goes wrong, there is always somebody who knew it would. Anything is easier to take apart than to put together. For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism. The less you do, the less can go wrong. Everybody lies, but it doesn't matter since nobody listens.

A special anniversary edition of the classic pessimist's guide to life shares a collection of pithy revelations and insights that range from "The less you do, the less can go wrong" to "Everybody lies, but it doesn't matter since nobody listens" to "No matter what goes wrong, there is always somebody who knew it would." Original.

Murphy's Law strikes again! From malpractice to measles, Bloch muses on on the fact that anything that can go wrong in the medical world will.
