Made up
His Assistant
Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Confessions
Lunar Module Pilot Fred Haise starting a sentence quot;OK, Houston...quot;
which was cut off by Commander Jim Lovell saying quot;I believe we've
had a problem here,quot; followed fifteen seconds later by Lovell's
quot;Houston, we've had a problem.
Actual quote uncertain. Variously, quot;If that guy has any way of making a mistake, he willquot; and quot;If
there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then
somebody will do it that wayquot;. Murphy's law has been purposely misrepresented and sometimes
simply misinterpreted to mean quot;something will always go wrongquot; or quot;nothing will ever work
perfectlyquot;. This is actually a statement of Sod's Law. Murphy's Law is really a design principle: if
something can be done in more than one way (such as inserting a two-socket plug the wrong
way around), somebody will eventually do it. The solution is to design defensively - if the plug is
asymmetrical, it simply can't be plugged in the wrong way around. There is evidence that
Murphy himself didn't mean it this way when he said it, for more details, read the complete
