Answer 1

Edward A. Murphy made that law. The law states that "If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then somebody will do it that way."

In other words, if anything can go wrong, it will.

well i hope this helps :D

Answer 2

Alfred Holt wrote the first version of Murphy's Law in 1877. In 1952 Jack Slack, a mountaineer wrote it down in it's a way close to it's modern form, Anything that can possibly go wrong, does. Of course, it is also stated as "If anything can go wrong, it will",  "Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way", and a few other slight variations. It's funny you jokingly ask if it was Eddie Murphy, as it was indeed a man named Edward Murphy who is responsible for the phrase being referred to as Murphy's Law. The actual verbatim Murphy's Law states "If it can happen, it will happen". Edward Murphy was a man who invented several measuring devices that were used in scientific research by the Air Force, and the difficulty many people had using them were reported by Col. Strapp in a press conference in 1948 where he coined the modern term.
