Malcolm's Law

A distant cousin of Sod's Law.
The more you look for something, the more you will find it.
Named after a respected London serologist, who could report more rare blood group antibodies in a month than a dozen of his colleagues could find in a year.

Mick: Since watching that news report on skin cancer, I've found about a dozen scary moles.

Mack: Don't worry, that's just Malcolm's Law.

Malcolm’s Law

Very similar to Murphy’s Law or Sod’s Law, but with one important difference. Instead of “if something can go wrong it will do”, it now becomes ”with a Malcolm on the project it won’t just go wrong, but it will go wrong in the worst possible way.” See also Finagle’s Law.

“It’s a total disaster; there is no way that it could possibly have happened!”
“With that Heale Malcolm involved what did you expect? It’s Malcolm’s Law, mate.”
