Last week while I was thinking about the analytic continuation of the Ackermann
function in the complex plane, I fell on my head after stepping on a discarded
banana peel which I previously had tried to smoke. The fall resulted in a sudden
and dangerous revelation, if you will, which caused the spontaneous birth of
dozens of new scientific & non-scientific Murphy's Laws.

I suspect the originator of the revelation was Goddess Eris, but I cannot be
sure because I was unconscious for several minutes.

I don't know if they are correct. I don't even know if they are funny, so some
may find them objectionable or even offending. In either case, don't blame me.
Blame the banana peel and Goddess Eris. They made me do it.

Sorted according to category for your reading convenience and efficient
apoplexy. Brace yourselves. The news are bad (as they usually are with Murphy's
Laws) ;o)

This reminds me of a scene in the movie "Back to the Future":

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088763/quotes

"No, wait! Doc. Doc. The-the-the bruise - the bruise on your
head. I know how that happened! You told me the whole story.
You were standing on your toilet, and you were hanging a clock,
and you fell, and you hit your head on the sink. And that's
when you came up with the idea for the Flux Capacitor... "

"The more YOU know about The Universe, the more The Universe knows
about YOU" --- Nerdius's Futility of Scientific Knowledge Law

btw
has there ever been found
an ethnobotanical origin to the banana peel use?

the earliest reference i know of is the anarchist cookbook

there's been a lot of speculation over the years of a joke
have any metabolically active alkaloids ever been found?
besides the transmitter amino acid derivatives commonly found?

bananadine?

just wondering if you'd heard more of the history

The earliest reference I can remember, is Gary Larson's "The Far Side" books,
where, if memory serves right, he presents several interesting studies of
primates, bananas and banana peels.

Unfortunately I have given my entire Far Side collection to a friend,
mathematics professor and geometer Paris Pamfilos, and since then I have lost
track of it, so I cannot pinpoint the exact cartoons I am talking about. At the
time I gave the books, I wasn't aware of the following (older) Murphy's Law:

"The three things you should NEVER lend, are women, books and cars" [*]

[*] I believe this Law has lately been modified to include CD's and DVD's as
well.

Another old reference is the film "Transylvania 6-5000", where I believe "Igor"
presents an interesting case of how a fall from a banana peel may affect normal
consciousness. Not a very funny film, but the Igor character is somewhat
interesting.

there's been a lot of speculation over the years of a joke
have any metabolically active alkaloids ever been found?
besides the transmitter amino acid derivatives commonly found?

bananadine?

I don't know of any other refs. All I DO know, is that I will never AGAIN, try
to smoke one, because the laughter which resulted from me giving mental birth to
the aforementioned laws, exhausted me so much that I want to sleep for two weeks
straight, now. And I have work to do ;o)
