List of Eponymous Laws
Internet browsing and curiosity somehow led me to this Wikipedia List of Eponymous Laws. I’ve always wondered what it would take for me to think of something clever, call it Costa’s Law, and see if it takes off. There are a lot of great ones here, ranging from complex physics to stuff like Murphy’s Law. Some of my favorites are:
Rothbard’s law – “Everyone specializes in his own area of weakness.”
Sturgeon’s law – “Ninety percent of everything is crud.”
Godwin’s law – An adage in Internet culture that states, “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.”
Littlewood’s law – “Individuals can expect miracles to happen to them, at the rate of about one per month.”
