i am experiencing fatalism......
what a mess...... i have had quite some good use out of my new stinger wet/dry vac, but no more.... i smoked it today. i was cleaning my tank when this blue flash with smoke and a mediocre "pop" startled me. as i jerked my hands out of the tank, i inadvertently knocked the little wet'dry vac off the stand, and sploosh...... 2+ gallons poored onto my carpet...... which isn't as bad as having a large snail stuck in the outlet tube of my aquafuge as well, it seems he crawled in there while i was cleaning up the mess, and my auqafuge started to overflow..... 8 electrical plugs, and it was the last 1..... i feel that bad karma has decended upon me... if i had a operational wet vac, i could suck him out of the tube.....
i am having too much fun today.......

That sucks man!! Well, Murphy's Law of reefing I guess. At least you didn't get zapped across the room! Hope things go better!

Yikes! Make a sacrifice to the Reef Goddess to atone for whatever bad karma you seem to have collected! Actually, maybe just the death of the wet/dry will suffice

I hope Murphy doesn't enter this neck of the woods! I do well enough on my own! Johnny  |

Actually, I was scared to read this post, fearing that it might rub off on me

Jeeze, and I thought that Murphy's law was:
...don't mess with Mrs. Murphy...

Ahhhh Deep no problem, We O'Briens dont allow any Murphy's on the property Besides if you were a student of history you would know it was the O'Briens that taught the Murphys everything they know when it comes to luck.
And O'Briens Law is the only direct desendant of Gee's law which was so bad it was banned along with the druids. Although I hear it is still being practiced in some dark coners of the reefing world
