        An Egyptian who was pressed for time.

To shroud my clothes, the black of night;
To age my voice, an old hag's cackle;
To whiten my hair, a scream of fright;
A blast of wind to fan my hate;
A thunderbolt to mix it well --
Now begin thy magic spell!
                -- The Evil Queen, "Snow White"

Murphy's Law, that brash proletarian restatement of Godel's Theorem.
