From the March/April issue of Space Gamer:

                             Murphy's Rules

"ALL ABOARD"....
          In Icarus Games' IRON HORSE, one can load and ship as many
cattle on a flatcar as one can in a stock car... (Creede Lambard)

          In SUPERWORD (Chaosium), a normal man using normal strength
uses no energy...he can punch all day without tiring... (Ray Greer)

"A FAMILY WAY"
          Population increases by 5 per cent a week in Universe III
(Central Texas Computing)...This is possible only if every female is
constantly pregnant with dodectuplets (a litter of 12)...(Robert L.
Hayes Jr.)

"STAND STILL"
          It takes more than two minutes and 24 bolts to kill a man
at point-blank range with a crossbow in TSR's GAMMA WORLD... (Ed Simons)

"AUTO PILOT"
          In STAR COMMANDER (Historical Concepts), a star ship can fight
at full strength even though it has zero crew...
