I suppose you've probably already seen these, but...
1.  Any given program, when running, is obsolete.
2.  Any given program costs more and takes longer than planned.
3.  If a program is useful, it will have to be changed.
4.  If a program is useless, it will have to be documented.
5.  Any given program will expand to fill all available memory.
6.  Program complexity grows until it exceeds the capability of
	the programmer who must maintain it.
7.  Profanity is the one language all programmers know best.
