Actually, the so-called "Murphy's Laws" were actually written in the late
1800's by someone whose name was not Murphy at all.  This person (I do not
remember his name) was a real pessimist and was a firm believer in all of
his "laws".  The funny part is that there was a writing contest in Holland
and this person, showing a rare streak of optimism, entered and really 
got his hopes up that he was sure to win.  He didn't, but the funny thing was
he was the only one to enter!  "Murphy" strikes again!

  All this was taken from Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story", if you really
want to know this person's name, etc. contact them.  Also, if any of this is
inaccurate, blame them, not me.
