Not an overly sensible one. I love inevitables, but they can't all enforce big things.
Don't worry about how these things get enforced, its often odder to let them be there.

1) Heroes will not spend all their time in the bar

2) If you drink to much, you will get hung over

3) Never end a sentence with a preposition

4) If it ain't broke, don't fix it

27) Things are always in the last place you look for them.

Well that is redundant. Once you've found it, why would you keep looking?

The rule holds little relevance for when you've found the item, I grant you - but those who have not found what they are looking for have broken this commonly accepted law, in that the item was not in the last place that they looked.

46) Collective intelligence is inversely proportional to the number of people present
47) The atom is, by meaning of the word, indivisible.
48) Money is the root of all evil
49) If a tree falls in a forest, and nobody is around to hear it, it should not stand up again simply to fall over on the next adventuring party to pass by for the mere sake of being noticed.
50) At age 50, everyone gets the face that they deserve.

51) Chaos Theory
52) The Theory of Relativity
53) A watched pot never boils
54) Matter & Antimatter

I realize that two of these are theories, but if they aren't inforced, they can't be proven.

I thought they might run to where a tree is about to fall down, so there will be someone around to hear it. That way, monks don't have to worry about whether it makes a noise.
