-- Yours Truly's Razor ;) (though I still prefer "Hanlon's Handgun")

I've quoted that before, but never heard it called "Grey's law". Who is Grey?
Is there a law yet that describes how, for any situation, someone's created a law that applies to it?

(tongue-in-cheek...I just feel like every day there's a new law I learn that applies perfectly to a situation. I can't keep track of them all!)
