THREE PARAGRAPH COMPOSITION

MURPHY´S LAW

History
The Law was originally discovered by a sergeant at Edward's Air Force Base, California. Rocket-sled experiments were done by the United States Air Force in 1949 to test human acceleration tolerances (USAF project MX981). One experiment involved a set of 16 accelerometers mounted to different parts of the subject's body. There were two ways each sensor could be glued to its mount. Of course, somebody managed to install all 16 the wrong way around. It was then that Edward A. Murphy, Jr made his epic pronouncement: “IF ANYTHING CAN GO WRONG, IT WILL”.
