Murphy's laws..

As applied to technology.

 

http://www.murphys-laws.com/murphy/murphy-technology.html

 

"Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence."

 

"Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget."

 

"Computers are unreliable, but humans are even more unreliable. Any system which depends on human reliability is unreliable."

 

"Any circuit design must contain at least one part which is obsolete, two parts which are unobtainable and three parts which are still under development."

 

"Murphy's Law on HVAC systems:
An HVAC (Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning) engineering firm, will invariably lease office space in a building with a lousy HVAC system.
Sent by Michael W. Murphy who has worked in 6 HVAC firm offices and can back this law up.
All the engineers can do is shiver or sweat and moan about it, and say how they would fix it if the building owner actually gave a damn."

40 LB cat needs a new home.

20-kg cat needs a new home in N.J.

BLACKWOOD, N.J. - Talk about New Jersey's fat cats.

A 20-kilogram feline was found waddling around Saturday without a collar in Voorhees, New Jersey.

Officials at the Camden County Animal Shelter hope she gets a nice - hopefully, diet-friendly - home.

"She's built like a quarterback," says Deborah Wright, a shelter volunteer and current foster owner of the kitty.

Shelter officials are calling the porky cutie "Princess Chunk."

The largest cat on record weighed 21.2 kilograms.

The tabby, who lived in Australia, died in the 1980s.

Guinness World Records has since dropped the category, fearing cat owners might harm their animals in an attempt to break the record.

Meanwhile, Princess Chunk's owner has until Saturday to reclaim her.

After that, the weighty pet will be eligible for adoption.

Wright plans to speak with a veterinarian to put Chunk on a diet.

For now, Chunk's diet consists of dry and wet cat food.

"I'm about to put a leash on her and walk her," said Wright. "She could pass for a dog!"

"I mean, how do you lose a 44-pound cat?!"

Flying Humans? Mertin Jetpack

It's real!

"OSHKOSH -- The Martin Jetpack is a secret no more.

This photo, obtained exclusively by FlightBlogger, is the first picture of the new Martin Jetpack anywhere in the world. A test flight is expected here at EAA AirVenture this morning when the official announcement is made at 9:30 AM CT.

Little is known about the capabilities of this flying machine, though sources familiar with its design say it can fly 100 times longer than previous jetpacks. Historically, 26 seconds has been the endurance of previous technology. This being the case, the Martin Jetpack could potentially be able to fly for as much as 40 minutes at a time on a single tank of gas."

"The Martin Jetpack ($100,000) supposedly floats (noisily) at an altitude of up to 8000 feet for up to 30 minutes, but all the video clips I've seen don't do the device justice because, first, the pilot should be wearing a silver jumpsuit (not a black one) and there are two guys stabilizing him the entire time. If I wanted to wear a black suit while two guys carried me six feet off the ground, I would have a Bar Mitzvah. " - TED.com

Phony Joker gets arrested.

"

THREE RIVERS, Mich. (AP) — Police in Michigan have arrested a man who they say tried to steal posters and other items related to the new Batman movie from a cinema lobby while dressed up as the Joker.

Detective Mike Mohney said Monday 20-year-old Spencer Taylor of Three Rivers has been booked for investigation of larceny and malicious destruction of property.

Taylor is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 5 in St. Joseph County District Court.

There is no telephone listing under his name in the Three Rivers area.

Mohney says officers who were dispatched early Sunday to the theater arrived to find employees restraining a man wearing a purple suit, a green wig and face paint in the style of Batman’s nemesis in “The Dark Knight.”

Parents lose custody of girl for naming her Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii

"A nine-year-old girl whose parents named her Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii was put into court guardianship in New Zealand so that her name could be changed.

A family court judge, Rob Murfitt, gave the order after hearing that the child was embarrassed about her name and had refused to reveal it to friends. "She told people her name was K because she feared being mocked and teased," the child's lawyer, Colleen MacLeod, told the court.

The judge criticised parents who give their offspring bizarre names, saying it exposed children to ridicule among their peers.

"The court is profoundly concerned about the very poor judgment that this child's parents have shown in choosing this name. It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap, unnecessarily," he said."

 

"In his written ruling, he said names such as Stallion, Yeah Detroit, Fish and Chips, Twisty Poi, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit were prohibited by registration officials. Others that were permitted included twins called Benson and Hedges, other children called Midnight Chardonnay, Number 16 Bus Shelter and, the judge added, "tragically, Violence". Another mother tried to use text language for her child's name, he said."

When Da Bush Babees saw how cute these little guys are, they knew they had to ditch their original name, Da Sleepy Panda Bears, and go with this one.

Messy Marv

There's really no good way to spin this. If you're so messy that it can be considered your defining characteristic, is that really something to brag about? And if you're really committed to the whole alliteration thing, and using the awful name Marv as an anchor, can't you think of some better M words? Marvelous Marv? Masta' Marv? Magnificent Marv? You could even be hard and go with Murda Marv. Hell, be funny and use Starvin Marvin. Anything is better than what you've got now.

Chali 2na

Not only is he named after a fish, but after a fish that's a mascot for canned tuna-in effect, a sellout fish who gets paid to convince people to eat his family.

Paperboy

Is he actually a paperboy, delivering newspapers, perhaps as a sly cover for his door-to-door yayo business? Or does he mean that he's a boy who is always out makin that paper? Or is he a boy that's made out of paper? Or is he some sort of second-rate superhero with the power to control paper? Whichever way you cut it, his name sucks ass.

'Mom, I finally met a man! Yes, well actually, he's an artist. A rapper. His name? Oh, um, did I tell you he drives a Honda? It's really nice. Oh, his name, sorry, I lost track for a second there. Hey did you see Lost last night? No, I'm not changing the subject. OK, fine mom, I'll tell you. It's Shorty. Shorty Shitstain. There, are you happy? Now go ahead, judge him like I knew you would.' A Wu Tang protégé, Shorty looked at the self-effacing charm of Ol' Dirty Bastard's name, and took it about three shades too depressing.

Mike The headless chicken.

Quite the story..

 

"September 10th, 1945 finds a strapping (but tender) five and a half month old Wyandotte rooster pecking through the dust of Fruita, Colorado. The unsuspecting bird had never looked so delicious as he did that, now famous, day. Clara Olsen was planning on featuring the plump chicken in the evening meal. Husband Lloyd Olsen was sent out, on a very routine mission, to prepare the designated fryer for the pan. Nothing about this task turned out to be routine. Lloyd knew his Mother in Law would be dining with them and would savor the neck. He positioned his ax precisely, estimating just the right tolerances, to leave a generous neck bone. "It was as important to Suck-Up to your Mother in Law in the 40's as it is today." A skillful blow was executed and the chicken staggered around like most freshly terminated poultry.

 

Then the determined bird shook off the traumatic event and never looked back. Mike (it is unclear when the famous rooster took on the name) returned to his job of being a chicken. He pecked for food and preened his feathers just like the rest of his barnyard buddies.

 

When Olsen found Mike the next morning, sleeping with his "head" under his wing, he decided that if Mike had that much will to live, he would figure out a way to feed and water him. With an eyedropper Mike was given grain and water. It was becoming obvious that Mike was special. A week into Mike's new life Olsen packed him up and took him 250 miles to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City . The skeptical scientists were eager to answer all the questions regarding Mike's amazing ability to survive with no head. It was determined that ax blade had missed the jugular vein and a clot had prevented Mike from bleeding to death. Although most of his head was in a jar, most of his brain stem and one ear was left on his body. Since most of a chicken's reflex actions are controlled by the brain stem Mike was able to remain quite healthy.

 

In the 18 MONTHS that Mike lived as "The Headless Wonder Chicken" he grew from a mere 2 1/2 lbs. to nearly 8 lbs. "

Pissed at your lawnmower? Shoot it...

Police say man shot lawn mower that wouldn't start

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MILWAUKEE - A 56-year-old Milwaukee man is accused of shooting his lawn mower because it wouldn't start.

Keith Walendowski was charged with felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while armed.

According to the criminal complaint, Walendowski said he was angry because his Lawn Boy wouldn't start Wednesday morning. He was quoted as telling police: "I can do that, it's my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want."

A woman who lives at Walendowski's house reported the incident. She says he was intoxicated.

Walendowski could face up to an $11,000 fine and six years and three months in prison if convicted.

A call to Walendowski's home went unanswered Friday morning
