    Natural laws

    The law of unintended consequences is well known of course, but this morning I came across the law of conservation of difficulty (not the Dawkins one, oddly, something related to complexity theory) although I don't think it's an actual law I rather liked the name.

    Any others?
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            That is a fantastic list.

              Not sure if it's a law but Vic Reeves once said:

              "88.7% of statistics are made up on the spot"
