The formal statement of _The_Law_of_Perverse Statistics_ is:

"The probability of the bread falling butter-side down
is inversely proportional to the value of the carpet."

'Under the most rigorously controlled conditions
of temperature, pressure, and humidity,
the organism will do as it d*mn well pleases.'
