Murphy's Law
      You are expected to be familiar with the Law that "If something can go wrong, it will."  For example, if you write a paper on a computer and do not (a) make a back-up copy on a floppy disk or (b) print out at least one copy in addition to the one you hand in to the instructor, the Law predicts that the copy intended for the instructor will somehow get lost, and all the information on your computer's hard disc will be destroyed by a virus.  You do NOT have a legitimate excuse for handing in the paper late, because you should have taken account of Murphy's Law, and after reading this paragraph you can't say you weren't warned!
