Harvard Laws

Apparantly, the following three, very wise observations circulate as Harvard Law I-III:

1. Under the most rigourously controlled conditions of pressure, temperature, volume, humidity, and other variables, the sample will do as it damn well pleases.
2. A couple hours in the library can frequently be saved by a few months in the lab.
3. To figure out how long a project is going to take, make a reasonable estimate, multiply by ten and switch to the next higher time unit.

So true.
