Allows you to find the answer to any question by simply dividing the correct answer with your answer. The number received is Nerm’s Inconstant. You then use the Nerm’s Inconstant to multiply your answer to find the correct answer.

Gynter's Law:
"If CNN reports something, that is evidence of the contrary"
"The CNN just reported Russia bombed civilians"
Gynters law proves that it didn't happen and it is in fact likely the Ukrainians bombed civilians
Blogger's Law: as soon as you finally post something, glaring errors will appear.
A derivative of Murphy's Law, the Blogger's law accounts for the inevitability of everything necessary for a sensible online publication going wrong nanoseconds after publishing something on the internet. In spite of all human and machine-assisted efforts to proofread and edit, mistakes and glaring errors will happen for all to see.
Aspiring writer: I finally published our latest blog post!
Editor: I'm not thrilled, did you account for the Blogger's Law?
Suddenly unemployed online writer: $%&#!?! I swear the headline had no typos before I hit publish!
"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong".
From an inventor's viewpoint, this is ultimately an argument for keeping things simple and focused on a single task. The simpler an invention is, the less scenarios need to be considered and tested.
Another way to understand it is as though you are living in the future looking back at a problem that occurred:
"If something went wrong with your invention, it's because you didn't do anything to prevent that scenario from happening".
Examples of things you could have prevented but didn't, and thus went wrong:
- The electrical cables burned the house down because the load was too hot. This could have been prevented by adding a fuse, but you didn't.
- The water heater exploded because it didn't have a pressure release valve, which it could have had, but didn't.
- The door fell off the plane when it went upside down because the hinge pin didn't have a lock, which it could have had, but didn't.
- The Earth shifted and caused cracks in the clay pipes under the house, which could have been prevented if flexible piping was used, but it wasn't.
Again, ultimately this is a reminder to keep your invention as simple as possible. It's often tempting to keep throwing new features into it, to make it appeal to a larger audience or solve more problems, but every new feature creates new, untested possible outcomes which can be hard to predict. Hard to predict that is, until they've happened, which they will.
Inventor 1: I created a lightswitch! It has 2 possible states: on or off. I'm aware all of the scenarios that could exist!
Critic: Great, except I see you used iron on the connector pins. Did you account for the corrosive reaction if copper wire is used against the iron? Murphy's Law dictates that it will happen at some point, because it could.
If something can go wrong it will

There is nothing that the right or the centre of UK politics won't try to evade responsibility for by blaming Corbyn. Named after LBC shock jock James O'Brien.
O'Brien's Law strikes again. Whatever the topic it's all Corbyn's fault.
