Murphy´s Law

Hi all,

not specifically Helicopter related, but I picked up "Murphy´s" Name in the Sydney-R22 thread - was Shaun, wasn´t it?

The guy seems to be onboard of all and everything!

Does anyone know where this expression comes from? Who was Murphy?

E.g. I know that "The real McCoy" comes from a black locomotive engineer who developed an oiler for open bearings and so eliminated the need to handoil these bearings every couple of minutes. Lots of (bad) copies on the market would forge the Expression: "No, I want the real McCoy!"


So, how is the story with the law of Murphy?
