More Murphy’s laws – http://jmm.org.au/catalog/keyword/m-15.htm

There’s a book with hundreds of these… anyone know its name?

Several years ago I heard a radio review of a book called “The Official Rules” which included things like Parkinson’s Law and Murphy’s Laws etc. However I have never seen it in a book shop.

I did find this which looks similar: http://www.theofficialrules.com.au/

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy’s_law – it’s cited in that article. Brilliant book.
