As anyone else noticed Sod's Theorem of Inverse Relativity in play on on-line blogs? As I understand the theorem, there is an inverse and exponential relationship between the number of posts made in a given time period to the relevance and significance of the substance of the post. I know that I have personally proven that theorem myself from time to time with my own posts. I would like to see a double blind clinical study done of this phenomenon.

You aren't snowed in already, are you.

You need a real job.

That's been true for 30 years!

no ambulances to chase????

Ferrari bump you off the list for the new Enzo?

I am practicing being retired.

There is another theory of inverse relativity that I will posit: The longer the post, the less that is said. I am calling this the Jines Theorem of Reverse Verbosity.

Methinks you need to lay down on my couch and tell the Doctor ALLLLLL about it.

As much as I like your version of Sod's Law, I can only find three attributed to (the unlucky) Sod.

Sod's First Law:

When a person attempts a task, he or she will be thwarted in that task by the unconscious intervention of some other presence (animate or inanimate)

Task Completion Theorem:

Nevertheless, some tasks are completed, since the intervening presence is itself attempting a task and is, of course, subject to interference.

Sod's Second Law:

Sooner or later, the worst possible set of circumstances is bound to occur one way or another, it also reflects with Newton's Third law of motion i.e. for every action there is an equal reaction in opposite direction.

Corollary - Any system must be designed to withstand the worst possible set of circumstances.

Sod's Other Law:

The degree of failure is in direct proportion to the effort expended and to the need for success.


This, of course, will not keep me from using Sod's Theorem of Inverse Relativity whenever it seems appropriate.
