This is not what I was expecting, but it was cool. It's really other laws like Murphy's law so it's more a book of quotes.

Book description
Als iets fout kán gaan, dan zál het ook fout gaan. Hoe vaak heb je de waarheid van deze stelling al aan den lijve ondervonden? Je vergeet je paraplu en het gaat regenen. Onderweg naar een belangrijke afspraak beland je in een eindeloze file. Als je snel je schoenen aan wilt trekken, knappen je veters. Zie je de rode draad? Naast de wet van Murphy wordt ons bestaan geregeerd door vele wetmatigheden. Al deze wetten vind je in dit boekje.

De regel van Rune
Als het je niet kan schelen waar je bent, ben je niet verdwaald.

De wet van Boob
Je vindt iets altijd op de laatste plaats waar je het zoekt.

De wet van Sturgeon
Negentig procent van alles is onzin.
