After reading a bit about Arthur C Clarke on the rather cool Mental_Floss, I was reminded of his three laws.
They’re clearly a little bit tongue in cheek but you can see that they do make a lot of sense too.
- When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
- The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
He was quite a guy I tell thee.
Of course I have my own three laws, come on, you knew I would.
- Never wash red socks. Ever. It only leads to pink clothes.
- Fixing electrical appliances whilst drunk is not a good idea.
- Whenever someone says they don’t care they do. When they say they do care they might not.
That’ll do for now.
