Finagle's Laws:
Finagle's Creed: Science is true. Don't be misled by facts.

Finagle's First Law: To study a subject best, understand it thoroughly before you start.
Finagle's Second Law: Always keep a record of data -- it indicates you've been working.
Finagle's Third Law: In any collection of data, the figure most obviously correct, beyond all need of checking, is the mistake.
Finagle's Fourth Law: Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it only makes it worse.
Finagle's Fifth Law: Always draw your curves, then plot your readings.
Finagle's Sixth Law: Don't believe in miracles -- rely on them.
Finagle's Seventh Law: The perversity of the universe tends toward a maximum.
Finagle's Eighth Law: If an experiment works, something has gone wrong.
Finagle's Ninth Law: No matter what results are expected, someone is always willing to fake it.
Finagle's Tenth Law: No matter what the result someone is always eager to misinterpret it.
Finagle's Eleventh Law: No matter what occurs, someone believes it happened according to his pet theory.

Corollaries:
1. Nobody whom you ask for help will see it.
2. The first person who stops by, whose advice you really don't want to hear, will see it immediately.
