00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:17,520 199 episodes ago that's unbelievable it 32 00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:19,439 is and we thought oh it was it was the 33 00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:21,439 next um 34 00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:22,799 what what's a word it's not 35 00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:24,960 reincarnation it was the next uh 36 00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:27,360 incarnation 37 00:01:36,390 --> 00:01:33,360 stuff we did stuff before we did the 38 00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:36,400 skeptic tank at net fm net fm back in 39 00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:40,240 2000 2001 like over 20 years ago we were 40 00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:43,200 podcasting before podcasting was a word 41 00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:45,200 we were we were doing it 42 00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:46,960 where in in net fm you were in the 43 00:01:50,870 --> 00:01:48,960 studios in in the heart of sydney i'd 44 00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:50,880 come in uh every week and we'd do a 45 00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:52,880 skeptical bed yeah a whole lot we have 46 00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:54,479 guests in and stuff and it's probably 47 00:01:58,630 --> 00:01:55,680 something that you've had back on the 48 00:02:01,590 --> 00:01:58,640 show oh since and and then after a few 49 00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:01,600 years we we decided that uh we should uh 50 00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:03,680 you know it actually could have legs 51 00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:05,200 because when the podcasting thing came 52 00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:08,959 along we thought well we we do that 53 00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:11,200 we do that we do that yeah other people 54 00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:12,800 didn't even know what it was but we were 55 00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:15,200 already doing it and so we did a few 56 00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:16,640 different shows and we did a little vid 57 00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:18,160 a video show for a while called the 58 00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:19,840 skeptic 59 00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:22,000 tank vodcast or the tank vodka the tank 60 00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:24,319 board the castle i'll come here 61 00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:25,760 we would set up the camera over there 62 00:02:29,990 --> 00:02:27,360 we'd both sit there and say hey welcome 63 00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:30,000 to the tank vodcaster that's right yeah 64 00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:31,840 we're very healthy 65 00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:33,360 we're over that i don't yeah i don't 66 00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:35,440 think we're not uh we're not attractive 67 00:02:39,270 --> 00:02:37,360 enough to do a podcast and we couldn't 68 00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:39,280 do that and the work i mean there's a 69 00:02:42,790 --> 00:02:40,800 lot of work in putting this together but 70 00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:42,800 for the work i had to put a video show 71 00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:44,720 together it's too much all the titling 72 00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:46,640 and everything but i guess one of our 73 00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:48,959 reporters uh in in the very early days 74 00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:50,480 before this show 75 00:02:54,070 --> 00:02:52,720 was uh you remember michael wallahan oh 76 00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:54,080 yeah yeah and i don't know if you know 77 00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:55,680 that he actually died last night oh my 78 00:03:00,630 --> 00:02:58,879 gosh no not don't say i've covered no no 79 00:03:02,229 --> 00:03:00,640 no it was uh it was another condition i 80 00:03:03,990 --> 00:03:02,239 might go into details but oh that's 81 00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:04,000 terribly sad because he was a lovely 82 00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:06,480 bloke and and on episode 700 i 83 00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:08,159 particularly remember michael wallahan 84 00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:09,920 because he helped start this you know he 85 00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:12,640 was there supporting and being uh 86 00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:13,760 one of our 87 00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:17,440 uh uh reporters for this show yeah so 88 00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:19,040 that was very sad to lose michael 89 00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:20,640 wallham completely out of the blue 90 00:03:25,990 --> 00:03:23,280 completely unexpected oh my gosh um 91 00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:26,000 and sadly and you know being 700 we will 92 00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:27,760 remember too that uh last year we lost 93 00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:29,920 shelly stockton another reporter of ours 94 00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:33,440 oh i know right oh my heart is breaking 95 00:03:36,229 --> 00:03:35,200 here i thought i was here to celebrate 96 00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:36,239 it right now we're actually getting a 97 00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:38,480 bit no it is a celebration but but we 98 00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:40,080 owe these people a lot you know people 99 00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:41,360 who have helped us along the way and 100 00:03:46,229 --> 00:03:43,200 been part of the skeptic's own podcast 101 00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:46,239 yeah and and associated shows so shelley 102 00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:48,000 and michael we are remembering you on 103 00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:50,480 the 700th episode but what a time to be 104 00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:52,000 around stefan 105 00:03:56,710 --> 00:03:54,080 i mean we couldn't imagine because you 106 00:03:59,110 --> 00:03:56,720 know you can't predict the future no but 107 00:04:01,509 --> 00:03:59,120 the state of the world as we record is 108 00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:01,519 just bonkers yeah and 109 00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:03,920 we'd have to say that really what a lot 110 00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:05,360 of what's been going on in the world and 111 00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:07,280 the way things seem to be going all the 112 00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:08,879 directions that we don't want them to go 113 00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:11,760 in is kind of a result of what this show 114 00:04:17,430 --> 00:04:14,480 is all about which is trying to keep 115 00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:17,440 things on track with facts and truth and 116 00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:18,720 science and 117 00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:20,639 and verifiable 118 00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:22,160 uh information 119 00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:24,160 and and it's become this sort of world 120 00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:26,960 where everyone's just just talking crap 121 00:04:30,629 --> 00:04:28,400 all the time 122 00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:30,639 and then opinions matter more than facts 123 00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:32,560 and and what we've always done on this 124 00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:34,960 show at least yeah well i got very 125 00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:36,880 excited about it before i got too busy 126 00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:39,280 and went off and did other things uh was 127 00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:41,360 the fact that you can try to hold people 128 00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:43,120 to account and try and actually drill 129 00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:45,440 down and say is yeah that's what the 130 00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:47,360 skeptical hat is 131 00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:49,199 you know what's really going on here 132 00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:50,800 what are they really trying to say yeah 133 00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:53,280 yeah and you end up it's a lot of vested 134 00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:56,000 interest it's a lot people stand to gain 135 00:04:59,990 --> 00:04:58,240 from fooling people and 136 00:05:02,629 --> 00:05:00,000 what we've seen in the last two years 137 00:05:04,390 --> 00:05:02,639 with covert is is how readily 138 00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:04,400 or how ready people are to jump on a 139 00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:06,800 bandwagon yeah so they get this idea 140 00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:08,400 that there's a conspiracy somebody's put 141 00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:10,320 it on the internet so it must be true it 142 00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:12,000 sort of half makes sense because the 143 00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:14,240 their science isn't up to scratch and 144 00:05:17,909 --> 00:05:16,160 what's the result you get thousands of 145 00:05:21,189 --> 00:05:17,919 people marching in the streets helping 146 00:05:27,029 --> 00:05:23,670 and look i think sometimes it's based on 147 00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:27,039 a um on a look underneath all the all 148 00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:28,800 the sort of craziness that everyone goes 149 00:05:33,029 --> 00:05:30,080 on about and all their opinions on 150 00:05:35,749 --> 00:05:33,039 facebook and things there is a um 151 00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:35,759 there's a skepticism or cynicism even 152 00:05:40,629 --> 00:05:38,240 about what what what our governments are 153 00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:40,639 doing so it's easier to sort of use that 154 00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:43,120 as the wedge to get into all 155 00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:44,400 all of the conspiracy theories because 156 00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:45,440 you said well you can't trust your 157 00:05:49,189 --> 00:05:47,919 government well you kind of can't i 158 00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:49,199 agree with you yeah you're kind of 159 00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:51,440 covered but it doesn't mean that you you 160 00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:53,120 can trust everyone else who wants to get 161 00:05:55,909 --> 00:05:54,400 into your head and 162 00:05:58,950 --> 00:05:55,919 and mess with your mind and there's a 163 00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:58,960 sort of a magical uh threshold where 164 00:06:03,189 --> 00:06:00,560 okay i think we can trust the government 165 00:06:05,270 --> 00:06:03,199 in this situation just with with caution 166 00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:05,280 or we can look through a skeptical lens 167 00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:07,680 and say yes well there's the government 168 00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:09,520 and there's the science and yes they're 169 00:06:14,309 --> 00:06:12,080 playing politics of course but there are 170 00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:14,319 scientists as well so so you've got to 171 00:06:18,309 --> 00:06:16,240 look at it on balance and and and then 172 00:06:20,950 --> 00:06:18,319 you'll find that somewhere in there is 173 00:06:23,189 --> 00:06:20,960 probably an optimal path rather than 174 00:06:24,070 --> 00:06:23,199 taking us down the path to god knows 175 00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:24,080 where 176 00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:26,080 it's it's it's as ever 177 00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:28,479 uh stefan it's complex 178 00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:30,560 the world is complex well here's the 179 00:06:33,909 --> 00:06:32,560 latest thing i heard 180 00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:33,919 we're talking about uh liz moore 181 00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:35,440 actually because um 182 00:06:38,629 -->

00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:41,440 there 186 00:06:44,309 --> 00:06:42,400 now we're talking about for the 187 00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:44,319 international listeners we've had 188 00:06:49,350 -->

00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:54,240 yeah two meters higher than the world 192 00:06:57,830 --> 00:06:56,000 than the record kind of thing and it's 193 00:06:59,110 --> 00:06:57,840 happening right now as we record it's 194 00:07:01,029 --> 00:06:59,120 another and 195 00:07:03,029 --> 00:07:01,039 i just drove over here from the 196 00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:03,039 skeptic's own studios to your studios 197 00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:05,759 and it was just bucketing down the 198 00:07:08,469 --> 00:07:07,039 streets are already flooding that's 199 00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:08,479 right they're they're talking

00:12:40,320 as the model numbers of the airplanes 335 00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:42,959 except for 797. 336 00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:47,360 think 707 717 which used to be the dc-9 337 00:12:55,910 --> 00:12:53,120 727 the well-known 737 and 747 and so on 338 00:12:57,750 --> 00:12:55,920 pat robertson's 700 club has run on the 339 00:12:59,990 --> 00:12:57,760 christian broadcasting network since 340 00:13:02,150 --> 00:13:00,000 1966. 341 00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:02,160 national geographic made a documentary 342 00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:05,040 film called 700 sharks which has footage 343 00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:07,680 of one of the quote largest shark 344 00:13:13,110 --> 00:13:10,240 frenzies on the planet end quote 345 00:13:16,829 --> 00:13:13,120 and then there's my favorite 700 is the 346 00:13:18,430 --> 00:13:16,839 sum of the consecutive prime numbers 167 347 00:13:20,509 --> 00:13:18,440 173 348 00:13:22,310 --> 00:13:20,519 179 and 349 00:13:25,590 --> 00:13:22,320 181 350 00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:25,600 and apparently 700 is an angel number 351 00:13:29,990 --> 00:13:27,680 according to women's day magazine an 352 00:13:31,750 --> 00:13:30,000 angel number is a three or four digit 353 00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:31,760 number that has a repetitive sequence 354 00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:33,680 such as getting a bakery bill for eight 355 00:13:38,310 --> 00:13:36,240 dollars and 88 cents 356 00:13:41,030 --> 00:13:38,320 most sites give pythagoras the credit 357 00:13:43,829 --> 00:13:41,040 for angel numbers however according to 358 00:13:46,230 --> 00:13:43,839 subconscious servant.com in the early 359 00:13:49,030 --> 00:13:46,240 2000s the term was coined by a woman 360 00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:49,040 named doreen virtue who claimed she had 361 00:13:53,509 --> 00:13:51,120 studied under pythagoras in a previous 362 00:13:56,150 --> 00:13:53,519 life she wrote several books about angel 363 00:13:58,069 --> 00:13:56,160 therapy and yes she is a psychologist 364 00:13:59,430 --> 00:13:58,079 and produced and sold several decks of 365 00:14:02,310 --> 00:13:59,440 tarot cards 366 00:14:06,230 --> 00:14:02,320 but her website at doreenvirtue.com 367 00:14:08,629 --> 00:14:06,240 states that in 2017 she was born again 368 00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:08,639 and has renounced all her new age 369 00:14:12,389 --> 00:14:10,079 beliefs 370 00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:12,399 this apparently has not stopped people 371 00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:14,240 from buying her books and tarot cards 372 00:14:18,670 --> 00:14:17,040 and believing in angel numbers 373 00:14:20,629 --> 00:14:18,680 the website 374 00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:20,639 mindbodygreen.com states that angel 375 00:14:24,550 --> 00:14:22,480 numbers usually show up in groups of 376 00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:24,560 three maybe that's the inspiration for 377 00:14:29,750 --> 00:14:27,839 the name mind body green who knows 378 00:14:30,710 --> 00:14:29,760 because we all know that three brings 379 00:14:36,470 --> 00:14:30,720 luck 380 00:14:39,189 --> 00:14:36,480 back and listen to my segments on threes 381 00:14:41,509 --> 00:14:39,199 so you might look at a clock and see it 382 00:14:43,590 --> 00:14:41,519 as seven o'clock hop into your car and 383 00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:43,600 the vehicle in front of you has 700 on 384 00:14:48,629 --> 00:14:45,360 its license plate then you go to the 385 00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:48,639 store and buy of course 50.8 liters of 386 00:14:54,750 --> 00:14:51,839 canadian maple syrup and it costs 700 387 00:14:57,189 --> 00:14:54,760 and yes i did price that out 388 00:14:59,110 --> 00:14:57,199 angelnumber.org says if this happens to 389 00:15:02,230 --> 00:14:59,120 you then your guardian angel is trying 390 00:15:05,110 --> 00:15:02,240 to communicate you have get ready quote 391 00:15:07,189 --> 00:15:05,120 potential new opportunities and choices 392 00:15:09,509 --> 00:15:07,199 closures and new beginnings 393 00:15:12,150 --> 00:15:09,519 spirituality and the road to spiritual 394 00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:12,160 enlightenment thoughtfulness psychic and 395 00:15:17,829 --> 00:15:15,120 emphatic gifts and

phases and cycles the energy of the 399 00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:25,920 universe and the creator inner wisdom 400 00:15:30,790 --> 00:15:28,480 and intuition end quote 401 00:15:32,550 --> 00:15:30,800 i think they only left out quantum to 402 00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:32,560 complete the word salad 403 00:15:36,790 --> 00:15:35,120 and how is this meaning found it is 404 00:15:39,110 --> 00:15:36,800 based on the fact that our good friend 405 00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:39,120 seven starts the number off and it is 406 00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:41,519 influenced by having two zeros following 407

00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:40,160 these attacks initially called 491 00:19:43,990 --> 00:19:42,480 unexplained health incidents brought in 492 00:19:45,990 --> 00:19:44,000 to include government personnel

[Music] 532 00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:33,200 hi my name is tim mandum i'm the editor 533 00:21:37,029 --> 00:21:34,720 of the australian skeptics magazine the 534 00:21:39,190 --> 00:21:37,039 skeptic and executive officer of 535 00:21:40,470 --> 00:21:39,200 australian skeptics inc 536 00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:40,480 and today i'll be reading from the 537 00:21:46,630 --> 00:21:44,400 skeptic magazine from march 2021 volume 538 00:21:48,070 --> 00:21:46,640 41 number one 539 00:21:50,070 --> 00:21:48,080 this is from the section of the magazine 540 00:21:51,669 --> 00:21:50,080 that we call what goes around 541 00:21:53,590 --> 00:21:51,679 in which case we find some obscure 542 00:21:55,270 --> 00:21:53,600 little fact and then work our way 543 00:21:57,190 --> 00:21:55,280 through various connections back to 544 00:21:59,750 --> 00:21:57,200 where we came from 545 00:22:03,669 --> 00:21:59,760 so today we're looking at designs 546 00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:03,679 accidents villainy and stupidity 547 00:22:08,310 --> 00:22:06,400 we start with defensive design 548 00:22:11,110 --> 00:22:08,320 this is the practice of planning for 549 00:22:13,350 --> 00:22:11,120 contingencies in the design stage of a 550 00:22:15,190 --> 00:22:13,360 project or undertaking 551 00:22:17,830 --> 00:22:15,200 essentially it's the practice of 552 00:22:20,710 --> 00:22:17,840 anticipating all possible ways that an 553 00:22:23,270 --> 00:22:20,720 end user could misuse a device and 554 00:22:25,190 --> 00:22:23,280 designing the device so as to make such 555 00:22:27,750 --> 00:22:25,200 misuse impossible 556 00:22:29,590 --> 00:22:27,760 idiot proof or at least to minimize the 557 00:22:31,909 --> 00:22:29,600 negative consequences 558 00:22:33,909 --> 00:22:31,919 for example if it is important that a 559 00:22:35,669 --> 00:22:33,919 plug is inserted into a socket in a 560 00:22:37,590 --> 00:22:35,679 particular orientation 561 00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:37,600 the socket and plug should be designed 562 00:22:42,630 --> 00:22:39,760 so that it is physically impossible to 563 00:22:44,630 --> 00:22:42,640 insert the plug incorrectly 564 00:22:47,029 --> 00:22:44,640 in software engineering it is called 565 00:22:49,430 --> 00:22:47,039 defensive programming 566 00:22:51,750 --> 00:22:49,440 murphy's law is a well-known statement 567 00:22:55,510 --> 00:22:51,760 of the need for defensive design 568 00:22:58,149 --> 00:22:55,520 and also of its ultimate limitations 569 00:23:00,310 --> 00:22:58,159 murphy's law is typically stated as 570 00:23:02,070 --> 00:23:00,320 anything that can go wrong 571 00:23:03,270 --> 00:23:02,080 will go wrong 572 00:23:04,710 --> 00:23:03,280 and the interesting fact is there 573 00:23:09,510 --> 00:23:04,720 actually was a murphy 574 00:23:12,149 --> 00:23:09,520 edward aloysius murphy jr 1918 to 1990 575 00:23:14,630 --> 00:23:12,159 was an american aerospace engineer who 576 00:23:16,390 --> 00:23:14,640 worked on safety critical assistance he 577 00:23:18,789 --> 00:23:16,400 went to the u.s military academy at west 578 00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:18,799 point graduating in 1940 579 00:23:23,110 --> 00:23:20,480 and undertook pilot training with the 580 00:23:24,710 --> 00:23:23,120 u.s army corps in 1941. 581 00:23:28,149 --> 00:23:24,720 during world war ii he served in the 582 00:23:29,669 --> 00:23:28,159 pacific india china and burma achieving 583 00:23:31,909 --> 00:23:29,679 the rank of major 584 00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:31,919 after the war he became an r d officer 585 00:23:35,830 --> 00:23:33,840 at the right air development centre of 586 00:23:37,750 --> 00:23:35,840 wright-patterson air force base it was 587 00:23:40,630 --> 00:23:37,760 while here that he became involved in 588 00:23:42,950 --> 00:23:40,640 the high-speed rocket sled experiments 589 00:23:47,110 --> 00:23:42,960 for the trivial minded that's usaf 590 00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:47,120 project mx981 1940. 591 00:23:50,630 --> 00:23:48,640 this was the system of course which you 592 00:23:52,149 --> 00:23:50,640 were training astronauts to see to put 593 00:23:54,230 --> 00:23:52,159 them up with g-forces and things like 594 00:23:55,909 --> 00:23:54,240 that 595 00:23:58,390 --> 00:23:55,919 as featured in the indiana jones film 596 00:24:00,630 --> 00:23:58,400 number four i think yes according to the 597 00:24:02,470 --> 00:24:00,640 book a history of murphy's law by author 598 00:24:04,710 --> 00:24:02,480 nick t spark 599 00:24:06,870 --> 00:24:04,720 differing recollections years later by 600 00:24:09,190 --> 00:24:06,880 various participants make it impossible 601 00:24:10,470 --> 00:24:09,200 to pinpoint who first coined the term 602 00:24:12,470 --> 00:24:10,480 murphy's law 603 00:24:14,470 --> 00:24:12,480 the law's name supposedly stems from an 604 00:24:16,230 --> 00:24:14,480 attempt to use new measurement devices 605 00:24:17,990 --> 00:24:16,240 developed by murphy 606 00:24:20,230 --> 00:24:18,000 the phrase was coined in adverse 607 00:24:23,029 --> 00:24:20,240 reaction to something murphy said when 608 00:24:25,269 --> 00:24:23,039 his devices failed to perform and was 609 00:24:27,190 --> 00:24:25,279 eventually cast into its present form 610 00:24:28,070 --> 00:24:27,200 prior to a press conference some months 611 00:24:31,430 --> 00:24:28,080 later 612 00:24:34,390 --> 00:24:31,440 the first ever of many given by dr john 613 00:24:37,750 --> 00:24:34,400 stepp a u.s air force colonel and flight 614 00:24:39,830 --> 00:24:37,760 surgeon in the 1950s 615 00:24:41,590 --> 00:24:39,840 murphy himself was reportedly unhappy 616 00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:41,600 with the commonplace interpretation of 617 00:24:46,390 --> 00:24:43,840 his law which is seen as capturing the 618 00:24:47,669 --> 00:24:46,400 essential cussedness of inanimate 619 00:24:49,590 --> 00:24:47,679 objects 620 00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:49,600 murphy regarded the law as crystallizing 621 00:24:54,310 --> 00:24:52,320 a key principle of defensive design 622 00:24:56,070 --> 00:24:54,320 in which one should always assume worst

00:25:08,720 jokes related to murphy's law published 630 00:25:14,870 --> 00:25:12,159 in arthur block's murphy's law book two 631 00:25:16,549 --> 00:25:14,880 more reasons why things go wrong 632 00:25:19,510 --> 00:25:16,559 his attempts to have the law taken more 633 00:25:21,830 --> 00:25:19,520 seriously were unsuccessful 634 00:25:23,909 --> 00:25:21,840 one quote submitted to block's book was 635 00:25:27,110 --> 00:25:23,919 originally attributed to a robert j 636 00:25:29,190 --> 00:25:27,120 hanlon of scranton pennsylvania 637 00:25:31,269 --> 00:25:29,200 his submission was

razer which states that 641 00:25:41,510 --> 00:25:38,480 never attribute to malice that which can 642 00:25:43,669 --> 00:25:41,520 be adequately explained by stupidity 643 00:25:44,950 --> 00:25:43,679 little is known of hanlon in any case 644 00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:44,960 some have attributed the quote to 645 00:25:48,789 --> 00:25:46,720 science fiction author 646 00:25:51,350 -->
