stanleydrew's law: as any online discussion about anything grows longer, the probability of any particular comment appearing approaches one.
I'm not sure that's true - certain comments negate the need for others. For example, if I eventually get around to mentioning my mother's maiden name, the probability of the question "What is your mother's maiden name?" decreases.
Have you ever actually taken part of an online discussion?
Are you just being cynical, or are you intentionally negating my "theorem" by asking a question that is implicitly answered by the fact that you were able to ask it? If the latter...ha.
Interesting that you brought that up. What IS your mother's maiden name? (Also, I need the name of your first pet, and your high school mascot, if you don't mind.)
Stick around long enough and you're likely to find out. ;)
sephr's law: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of sephr's law being mentioned approaches one."
Only strictly true as the length of the discussion approaches infinity.
You've now compared Microsoft to Hitler :-)
Godwin's law says it's time for everybody to go home now.
The ensuing discussion has completely failed to add to the thread in any way, and now it's taking up all this real estate at the top. For future threads, please refrain from indulging in this sort of thing.
