A rule describing the all-too-common occurrence of an inclusive, intelligent community becoming well-known and suddenly turning to shit.
Winston's Law states that, in general, the intelligence of a given group is inversely proportionate to its size.
Also known as the Printer Curse. Law states that the closer it is to the day that an essay, project, or report is due, the more likely your home printer will malfunction, refuse to print, or break down in the middle of printing.
The bane of high-school and college students' lives.
Teacher: Why is this report 4 days overdue?
Student: Sorry ma'am, it's the stupid Law of Printers.
when you’re mutuals with someone and they have mutuals you’re not mutuals with. they are considered “oomf in law” as your mutuals are mutuals with them and not yourself.
i saw oomf in law on the timeline and now i want to be mutuals.
In mathematical logic, the Law of Detachment says that if the following two statements are true:
(1) If p, then q.
(2) p
Then we can derive a third true statement:
(3) q.
Damn dude! I'm doing lesson 2.3 on the law of detachment in my geometry book!
More or less, if a cat always lands on its feet, and the bread always lands peanut butter side down, then if you strap a piece of bread to a cat and drop it, what happens? It implodes.

An informal law of Internet discussions (mostly on blogs, but also extends to forums, Twitter conversations, email discussions and instant messaging debates) which states that when the topic is related to intelligent design, a commenter will inevitably mention the book "Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design" by Stephen C. Meyer, which was published in 2009.
The speed at which the citation appears can be positively correlated with a high frequency of citation for books that fundamentally disagree with the core ideas in "Signature in the Cell", as well as the amount of time spent talking about the DNA code and information theory. In fact, any mention of the term "biological information" will act as a catalyst in this regard.
The identification of this law came after merciless online marketing by the Discovery Institute forced most of the world's intelligent design proponent population to purchase the book (or at least pretend to have read it).
Commenter: "I notice you have made no comment regarding the new book Signature in the Cell by Stephen Meyer. That is probably just because you haven't had the time to read it."
Meyer's Law has been applied to the discussion from which the above comment was taken.
