Define the connection between Entropy and Murphy's Law? (In fact...would that not make a nice subject for a video?) Hope you like my idea.

Boltzmann statistics? No doubt the math is clever, but classical entropy is going the way of the dinosaur. I know the math is way bitchier, but I happen to believe Fermi-Dirac statistics is the way to go because it doesn't neglect the fundamental quantum nature of the universe. Classical statistics is all well and good, but it's like eating the spaghetti-os out of a can over the sink. Then again, I still think of Darwin for evolution despite the thousands who hammered out all the deets.
