1. Munroes Law: A person in a geeky argument who can quote xkcd to support his position automatically wins the argument. This law supersedes Godwin, so that even if the quote is about Hitler, the quoter still wins.
2. Lucass Law: There is no movie so beloved that a special edition, prequel or sequel cannot trample and forever stain its memory.
3. Tolkien and Rowlings Law: No reasonably faithful movie adaptation of a book will ever be quite as good as the book it adapts. Thus great movie adaptations can only be made out of truly amazing books.
4. Somers and McCarthys Law: There is no dangerous unscientific theory so preposterous that no celebrity will espouse and advocate it.
5. Jobss Law: No matter how well last years cool tech gadget still works, it will seem utterly inadequate the moment the new version comes out.
6. Savage and Hynemans Law: Blowing stuff up is fun. Blowing stuff up in the name of science is AWESOME.
7. Starbucks and Peets Law: C8H10N4O2, better known as caffeine, is the most wonderful chemical compound known to humankind. If the field of chemistry had never identified or produced a single other useful compound, caffeine alone would be justification enough for its existence.
8. Wilburs Law: Bacon makes everything better.
9. Comic Book Guys Law: There is no detail of a movie too brief or inconsequential to become the subject of an hours-long diatribe.
10. The Unified Geek Theory: At present, the President of the United States, the wealthiest person in the United States, and the most trusted newscaster in the United States are all geeks. At the same time, movies based on comic book characters are routinely taking in hundreds of millions of dollars.
