What the heck is going on here? Can you imagine just how many people might have come up with the exact same set of "laws" over the past couple of centuries alone? It's silly to try to figure out who originally said them and why. Granted, where the name "Murphy" came from is interesting, but it's all tongue-in-cheek humor that anyone could have said after a hard day at the office. Steven
