murphology.... so true!!!

i had this book at the back of my head for quite some time now... never consciously looked out for it though...

so a couple of days back i was just wandering around the infy campus with a friend and we wandered into the book store... and i spotted this book there and bought it...

COMPLETE MURPHY'S LAW - ALL THE REASONS WHY EVERYTHING GOES WRONG!

a must read i must say... seemed to me that i was reading my biography.. :| but i guess everybody would feel the same way...

MURPHOLOGY IS INEVITABLE!!!

it's the weirdest 'self-improvement' book i've ever read... not that i have read a lot of self-improvement books... :) actually... just one... '7 habits of highly effective people'... and am reading this one ofcourse... :)

by the end of it... you'll be a more patient person... :D

some 'so-true' laws i came across;

- finagle's 4th law: once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it only makes it worse.

- williams and holland's law: if enough data is collected, anything may be proven using statistical methods.

- le chatelier's principle: complex systems tend to oppose their own proper function.

i guess techie guys would appreciate these even more... :)
cheers!!!

I had bought this book in my 2nd year at PICT. I still have it with me. Its a great bathroom read and applies mostly to science disciplines.
