We asked people how they say Murphy’s Law in other languages. Murphy’s Law is the saying, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong". Marina wrote from Russia, "…in my country Murphy’s Law has the same name [and is also called] the Law of Meanness, or the law of bread and butter (if it’s falling, the butter is below)."
I think in English we would say, "The Law of Buttered Bread Always Falling Buttered Side Down." That’s how I came up with this doodle. -Mama Lisa

There’s a joke to that bread and butter murphy’s law in Brazil, that you say the best solution is to tie a cat to the back of the bread (LOL) since cats always fall with the paws in the ground.
It could happen that both the cat and the bread would float! :P
Anyways, your blog is great, full of cool stuff and if you havent’ found the butcher boy song (that’s how i came to your blog, in first place) here ’s a link for the youtube version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGxUj_OSuh4
