\maketitle
I prefer to think of them not as the ``laws of physics,'' but as the ``physical best practices.''
The difference is only psychological, but by making the laws seem more like a challenge than a requirement, I actually enjoy following them.
It's just my way of giving something back to the physics community, who work so tirelessly to maintain order in the universe.

For instance, I almost posted this note before I wrote it, but then I remembered that cause should precede effect. It felt great to do the right thing.
