Murphy

Murphy's law has always fascinated me. These variations of his law should be amusing to everybody.


MURPHY'S OTHER 15 LAWS

1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.



2. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.



3. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.



4. A day without sunshine is like, well, night.



5. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.



6. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.



7. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.



8. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

The Siege of Eternity by Frederik Pohl My rating: 2 of 5 stars This book continues the Eschaton series, yeah you going to see that in the header. There really isn't much to say in this second book. All we know that two civilization is at war and the earth is just one of many civilizations where it has been targeted for assimilation to the "Beloved Leaders" empire. the interesting part is thru out the series is the Eschaton.

Frederick Pohl apparently believed in the Big Crunch theory and expressed his concept in this series the advanced species have given religion to the subjected races or species the other side's beliefs are not so credible. Their religion is very similar to Human beliefs of an afterlife which are present in the majority of cultures on our planet. In the end, the winning species and their allies or subject...

Echo of worlds

Echo of Worlds by M.R. Carey My rating: 2 of 5 stars M.R. Carey's "Echo of Worlds" serves as a powerful and satisfying conclusion to his "Pandominion" duology, following the intriguing setup of "Infinity Gate." While the author's broader works certainly explore diverse realms, this novel masterfully ties together the threads of this particular multiversal conflict. The story immediately plunges readers into an epic war across countless dimensions. On one side stands the organic Pandominion, pitted against the chilling machine-intelligence known as the Ansurrection.

Note: This cannot be read as a standalone novel and contains major spoilers. Core Plot & Major Twist The novel revolves around a struggling human colony on the world of Imir. The central puzzle is the repeated ship crashes. The Engine: The crashes are revealed to be "intentional" because an ancient, alien Simulation Engine beneath Imir copies the consciousness of approaching life and inserts the duplicates into a simulated, rapidly aging environment. The Reveal: The original human colonists and the Skipper crew's landing party (including the Interlocutor, Miranda) were all physically destroyed. The "people" living on Imir—including the simulated Miranda and the copies of Portiid (Fabian)...
