Learn to speak the original language of the place where you live. (After Sarah Palin who said "When you're in America, speak American!)

I'm learning to speak Cherokee, the original language spoken where I live, in accordance with Palin's Principle.

The Marteen Principle

The principle that nobody gives a shit about the sport of track and field. This is based on the idea that no one cares who is faster because it is not an achievable skill, it is simply a genetic ability. The great philosopher Marteen stated that "it is Track and Field like having a competition on who's dick is the biggest, it is not actually an athletic competition"

Friend1: "Bro, I ran a 54.6 in the 400 yesterday"
Friend2: "Come on man abide by The Marteen Principle"
Friend1: "What?"
Friend2: "Nobody gives a fuck about Track"

Bear Principle

The bear principle is the theoretical idea that you don't need to be able to outrun an angry bear to escape; you only have to outrun the guy next to you.

Can be used as a metaphor for almost anything where the "bear" is some type of authority and you are the one trying to not get eaten. Evading police, cheating, internet piracy, drug dealing, etc.

When it comes to internet piracy, the bear principle states that while it is difficult or impossible to be completely anonymous when torrenting, IP blockers like PeerBlock will focus the attention of the "bear" on those that take no precautions at all. Anti-piracy types are not likely to go through the extra effort needed to track you when there are plenty of people who can be tracked effortlessly.

The Twilight Saga is the poster-child for Petrie's Principle.

The larger the mass of an object, the quicker the effects of the shrink ray wear off! I call it the Nefario Principle. I just came up with it now, actually.
