From: Rose Karuna Are you sure your cats aren't playing with them while your at work? It's a common problem apparently. Wouldn't that make it a hairball?

#49 The one time in all the months you have been in SL that some jerk annoys you enough that you blast him out of the sim with your only push gun will also be the exact moment that Robin Linden just happens to be flying through that sim.

50) While happily shopping in a nice mall you come to the end of the row to run into a garded area that tells you to leave or be pushed. So you step back into the mall area where you are because you can respect that and boom out your butt goes anyway. Some of those scripts have proximity issues.

9 out of 10 men who go visit an escort don't realise they haven't got a penis! Is this from personal experience?

#51 That really interesting (and highly controversial) thread that you have been reading will be locked moments before you can post a particularly eloquent and enlightened reply (which you spent 30 minutes crafting) that would have resolved the issue once and for all.

I believe this has happened to The Meaning of Life, a Solution to Create Peace in the Middle East, and Which Religion is Correct. Damn the lock! #52: Ageplayers with child avs will always be adults, Ageplayers with Adult avs will always be Adults, but somehow Ageplay is molesting children. #53: Your textures will clip and flash, no matter how even your walls are. When you try to correct it, they'll snap back tomorrow. #54: When you finally line up that shot on a griefer to nail him with a pushgun, the Linden you reported him to will appear in the line of fire milliseconds after you pull the trigger. #55: Furries and Goreans will only get along if all parties are Furry Goreans.

From: Vares Solvang #36 The chance of the sim that you are in crashing doubles every minute that you build without saving your work. LMAO, I hit the floor on this one, so true! ^^

#56 Anytime you use any particles, you will be blamed for all lag of ANY form in the sim, and all neighboring sims.

From: Tod69 Talamasca #33? When you go to save that really cool outfit, and you want to put it all in a folder, you'll forget to save several attachments with it and end up looking through your inventory for something called "object" #57 When you rez any "object", expecting it to be the item you just misplaced, you will invariably drag out that 8000 prim unfinished unlinked build covering 1/2 of a sim.

joke Murphey's laws for SL - do NOT take seriously

#58 Flying (attempting to move very fast) tends to cause visual lag (actually making everything move very slowly). #59 No matter what radio station you set your parcel's music URL to, eventually they will start playing songs you totally hate and you will be forced to seek out another station again. #60 If someone says "If you let me borrow 500L, I'd be really grateful and I'll pay you back next week", then the first part is completely true but the second is about as reliable as your sim when you are hosting a popular event. #61 Lots of people will get completely freaked out by stuff simply because they don't understand it, and then going back to doing their own stuff which is actually more odd. #62 After awhile of flying around the main grid, you will start having RL dreams about a new place called 'Heaven' which lacks security orbs and ban lines. #63 The feature or bug fix you have asked LL for *will* happen, but it will happen at a time you've almost forgotton about it. I think they do this to keep a nice stream of surprises coming our way  #64 If any number of people drop in on your event wearing the same group tag, and this group tag just happens to be for a 'joke' or 'comedy' site, or for fans of certain 'art' sites.... sit down, open all their profile windows, turn on 'no build', 'no script', and 'push restriction'... and open up that ban list, because you'll need it very, very soon. #65 When walking around restricted land, beware ejected avatars being thrown out of the land very fast and landing squarely on your head. The physics of this lead me to postulate some sore of attraction between thrown avatars flying through the air and the heads of the unwary residents on the ground. #66 Using market sell on the LindeX is like using a poseball for sex instead of text roleplay. Quick, convenient, but afterwards usually realised to a way to miss out big time. #67 Someone's eagerness to help you is usually inversely proportional to their ability to do so (except LL staff, who are gifted in both ability and willingness, but often lack a third component often taken for granted by internet users known as 'copious free time'). #68 "Sir" is not a word (unless you are in a BDSM-themed community), however "HowlzZzZzZzZ" is. #69 Lag increases expodentially with draw distance, number of people present, and how urgent it is that you get something done. #70 Arguing about religion, politics or morals with other people in Second Life is pointless, because no matter what point of view you have, there are always enough people on both your side and the opposing side to keep the fight going forever without any conclusion being reached. #71 Not heeding the above and trying anyway usually results in most of the people involved ending up looking like fools. #72 Don't bother replying to topics over a certain length. Most people only read the first few posts, or at most, the first page. #73 If you reply to a topic saying "I wish everyone would stop bloating this thread with un-necessary replies and thus drawing out the death of a topic which should have been left to die naturally so very long ago"..... then you will encourage someone else to reply "yes, please, everyone stop replying to this topic!", and a third person to say "I completely agree, this topic should be left alone!".... and a fourth person to say "die, topic, die!".... at which point a 5th person comes along who doeen't agree and starts the topic again because with all the posts it's at the top of the forum's topic list. #74 If you attempt to post anything of any length (for example, any form of numbered list, or reply to an argument), then your post will go through, be magically cleaned of any spelling or gramatical errors, beautifully re-phrased, and end up in the right place next to the post it answers. The only problem is that it will have someone else's name on it and your post, which will have been mangled to include lots of spelling errors, will appear many posts later, looking very much off-topic. Attempting to counter this by going back and editing your earlier posts which you filed as quick 'placeholder' posts right after the post you replied to, so you could write a good post there in that reserved place later, leads to an endless, off-topic diversion along the subject of "what's a placeholder?", by which point your later-added great post gets lumped in with a series of "placeholder?" posts and ignored anyway

#62b After awhile of flying around the main grid, you will start having RL dreams about a new place called 'Heaven' which lacks security orbs and ban lines. Unfortunately there is a sim named "Heaven", and it is a private estate. llRequestSimulatorData returns the wrong position for the sim; so when scripts die, there is no chance they will find Heaven (instead they find Haven).
#77 The more you take a feature for grantant; the more likely LL will change it; even if it is just a change to it's menu position. #78 The first script you give to another user, you will undoubtly forget to set the right permission. #79 The first scripted product you sell will undoubtly not reregister it's listen, the effect, it will not respond to the new owner.
