The Rules of the Universe

[NVP]

My mum always used to say

"bad things come in threes"​

which she firmly believed. There have been many, many universal rules I've encountered through life which have never left my consciousness.


What are the weirdest rules for yourselves?

I didn't think there were any rules?

I was always told good luck comes in threes, so work that one out.

 

[NVP]

Well, three is the magic number

The first rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club.

It'll be in the last place you look.

One I always heard was “Celebrities die in threes”. Of course, now that anyone that’s had their face in front of a TV camera for 15 seconds is considered a celebrity, I don’t think it works anymore.

Take care of the pennies and the pounds take care of themselves

Stayed with me from a very early age and to a degree it works. I read it as make small savings little and often and the cumulative effect of that is that you're generally a bit better off.

 

[Hades]

Buy cheap, buy twice.

Quantum Chromodynamics has some pretty weird rules...

 

[Diddums]

"You can be anything you want to be if you put your mind to it"


So I became a plumber unblocking toilets in a prison.

When your eyes close, shut the book and go to sleep.

Think that's it

 

[Hades]

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

 

[enkoda]

It's like a finger pointing away to the moon - DON'T concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory.

Also, assumption is the mother of all **** ups.

 

[Feek]

What's the first rule?
