Murphy's Law

Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong

You can never be more pessimistic than that. That is a Murphy's Law. There are hundreds more of those kind of laws, all known as Murphy's Laws. Murphy's Laws do not have to be proved scientifically like other laws, but it's logical. The only thing is that Murphy's Laws only see the bad side of things. If you live your life according to Murphy's Laws, you can never be positive, but you always anticipate for problems that may occur. They are named as such, because it was 'established' by a high ranking officer in the US military in the 40's, whose name was Edward Murphy. The following are some of the laws under the Murphy's Laws list. You might find some of them stupid, but true and logical.

Here's something to think about;
There was this mathematician called Epidemenis who's from Crete. Epidemenis says that all people from Crete (in Greece, Europe) are liars. So is he telling the truth or not?

If he's telling the truth, this means that he is lying.
If he's lying, this means that he is telling the truth.
