Murphy's Law

Come across this at this site http://www.murphys-laws.com/ . But I find the below so true , especially software once start to code for job , you truly learn to appreciate it.
LAWS OF LOVE
  1. You will think of a great line to say to someone the moment,after your chance is gone.
  2. If you think a gal/boy is beautiful,her (boy/girl)friend will always be there to confirm it.
  3. Being told tat someone doesn't want to date you because you're such a good friend,is like being told tat u didn't get the job because your overqualified.
  4. The more you want a women the least she will want you.
  5. If you are having difficulties choosing between two potential girls/boys, you 'll always pick the wrong one.
LAWS OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
  1. Debugging is at least twice as hard as writing the program in the first place.So if your code is as clever as you can possibly make it, then by definition you're not smart enough to debug it.
  2. If a program is useful, it will have to be changed,If a program is useless, it will have to be documented.
  3. The hard drive on your computer will only crash when it contains vital information that has not been backed up.
  4. Software bugs are impossible to detect by anybody except the end user.
  5. An expert is someone brought in at the last minute to share the blame.
  6. A working program is one that has only unobserved bugs.
  7. Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later
  8. Any cool program(PC Games) always requires more memory than you have.
  9. Bugs will appear in one part of a working program when another 'unrelated' part is modified.
  10. Program complexity grows until it exceeds the capability of the programmer who must maintain it...!!
