Ever had a day where everything
seemed to go wrong?
Edward Murphy hypothesized...
If
anything can go wrong, it
will.
One day Capt. Edward Murphy,
an
engineer, was working
on Air
Force
Project MX981 and things were just not going right. The project
was
designed to see how much sudden deceleration a person can withstand in
a crash.
After finding that
a transducer was wired wrong, he
cursed the technician responsible and said, "If there is any way to do
it wrong, he'll find it."
After
they finally completed the project, the doctor who rode in the sled
said that the good safety record
on the project was due to a firm
belief in Murphy's Law and in the
necessity to try and circumvent it.
Aerospace manufacturers
picked it up and used it
widely in their ads during the next few months, and soon it was being
quoted in many news and magazine articles.
Murphy's Law was born.
Was it just a chance
misfortune?
