       At the end of our first semester p-chem course, after many weeks 
       thermodynamics, phase diagrams, enthalpy & entropy, our prof
       gave us this summary of the 3 Laws:


   First Law of Thermodynamics:  You can't win.

   Second Law of       "         You can break even only if you
                                   work at absoloute zero.

   Third Law of        "         You can't work at absolute zero.
