Well... my French is somewhat rusty, but (apparently)
CAR = French for "because" (new one on me, that, but who am I to argue with Google Translate?)
BON = good (also French)
A = American, I guess
RA - Egyptian God
something like that anyway!

Car is the more formal and mainly written. Parce que is the most common.
I'm trying to learn it as the gf is French, but I'm so far failing miserably.

In the past and even now I see many "laws" which is somehow called as Murphy's law.
To my best of knowledge, Murphy's law was just one and that was "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong".
So is there any recognized link or book which states all the murphy's law or its that people just made up some law as they fit and credited to Murphy.
cheers,
Super

In the UK Murphy's Law is called Sod's Law, I was told it got known as Murphy's Law by the Americans due to their being an in rush of Irish immigrants doing a variety of jobs including police.

"Murphy's Law" is an expression which is applied to things going wrong if they can. One law but the possibilities are infinite. The etymology is given in Wikipedia Murphy's law - Wikipedia[^].

I am sure, that NOT Murphy discovered that law. 
Press F1 for help or google it.

In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

I think the definite book for Murphy and all other meta-"laws" is this one:
Murphy's Law: Complete [^]
It is fun, in any case!

About 25 years ago, here in Norway a series of four or five books were published with variations on Murphy's Law - in Norwegaian, so they are probably of no use to you. Besides, after the third volume or so, the Murphy element became gradually weaker; the later books are more collections of funny observations / "laws".
And, where do you draw the line for "Murphy's Law derivatives"? Like the T-shirt I am wearing today, stating "Experience: The ability to recognize a mistake when you repeat it": Is that a derivative of Murphy, or not?

It certainly wasn't Murphy's intent to have all those laws, but.. well.. you know the rest.

See, even Murphy{s Law can go wrong!

Usually any old thundering Delta Blues tune will do. Not the phony stuff that passes for R&B nowadays. Give me old school stuff from Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon etc. I especially like Steppenwolf's version of "Hoochie Coochie Man"[^]
Sometimes the true reward for completing a task is not the money, but instead the satisfaction of a job well done. But it's usually the money.
