answer:Yes, there as a Murphy. Here is the story of the origin. “It was named after Capt. Edward A. Murphy, an engineer working on Air Force Project MX981, (a project) designed to see how much sudden deceleration a person can stand in a crash. One day, after finding that a transducer was wired wrong, he cursed the technician responsible and said, “If there is any way to do it wrong, he’ll find it.” The contractor’s project manager kept a list of “laws” and added this one, which he called Murphy’s Law. Actually, what he did was take an old law that had been around for years in a more basic form and give it a name.” As to real life, sometimes it sure seems that way, but I think we just noice it when it does.
