Gosh Quinn, THAT is more than Murph's law, that is pure bad luck!

My life has been usually pretty lucky but Murph's law does tend to show itself. God has a twisted sense of humor

BTW, has anyone heard of Smerek's law ?

Smerek's Law is an adage in the spirit of Murphy's law. It states, "Describing a video game to non-players makes you sound like an idiot"
We use it a lot at Wikipedia
