Well, since we “preparednessists” pretty much live with Murphy’s Law in the back of our minds (at least most of the time, anyway), I thought this might be interesting to some of you. This article outlines, in pretty good detail, the confusion behind the origins of Murphy’s Law.

Awesome read....thanks

A great read, really interesting background and character.

I can also confirm the law is still in full effect. Half way through reading the article my young son crawled backwards all the way from one end of his play mat to the other and then just as he reached the edge of the mat, he threw up, on the new carpet!
