    Another source I've read says he said, "Look at all them fuckin' indians!!!"

    "Murphy-isms"

    I used to design and build teaching lab setups for the University. There were always 12 identical setups for each lab session (for example, imagine an air cylinder with a pressure transducer, a temperature transducer and a sensor to measure how far the cylinder piston was moved) for a lab which taught Boyle's law of gasses. The lab setup was used to experimentally demonstrate and prove the equations of Boyle.

    Anyway, the point is I built these things on thick Lexan bases and completely covered the guts with a Lexan shield cover and used oversized, rugged, replaceable cables for the computer connections. I was asked why I built them so rugged when they were merely used in a lab, bolted to the bench.

    The reason was I could make them foolproof, but not student proof. There is no such thing as "student proof".

    If there were a lab where students experimented with an M1 tank, the tank would be a smoldering ruin at the end of class. Students are brutal.

    That reminds me of another Murphy-ism:

    Knowledge gained is equivalent to equipment destroyed.

    More Murphy-isms.

    Nothing is as easy as it looks.

    If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will go wrong first will be the one that will do the most possible damage.

    Left to themselves, all things go from bad to worse.

    Beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes to the bone.

    Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.

    The problem with Murphy is that he was an optimist.
