Sod's Law is a specific example of Murphy's Law. Sod's law states that a piece of toast, if dropped, will always land buttered-side down. The only exception to this would be if the person dropping the toast was attempting to demonstrate Sod's law. Interestingly enough, this means that if someone strapped a buttered piece of toast to a cat and dropped it from a great height, they would achieve perpetual motion as the cat spins in mid air - (neither the cats legs or the buttered side of the toast is allowed to face upwards). Unfortunately, this will not work for two reasons: 1. Any person attempting to organise such an experiment would be attempting to demonstrate Sod's law, so it would fail. 2. The cat would most likely resist any attempt to strap a slice of buttered toast to its back.

If you strap a piece of buttered toast to the back of the cat (facing up) and then drop it with a purpose OTHER than demonstrating Sod's Law, ie. energy production, the cat WILL achieve perpetual motion. Thus creating the energy source which powers Uncyclopedia. Though in that case, they further place the cat in a box with a radioactive source, so that the cat never dies.

But Murphy's law states that Sod's law won't work if you need it to.

If they have several power sources, then Murphy's Law states that they'll all fail at the same time. In fact, according to Elson's law, they already have all failed.

Yes, but Murphy's law is a load of nonsence really, so you can't rely on it to prevent itself from being correct.
