I did not know such a thing existed. I love these little quirky names for various theorems such as the 'Hairy Ball Theorem' in Algebraic Topology.
I told my 4u class that the technique where, when you are permuting things and need to things (say X and Y) to be consecutive you treat them as one element, as the "fat people on aeroplanes principle". Quite a few people ended up believing it was the name of an actual theorem.

Hey CarrotSticks, did you do either MATH1901 or MATH1903?? I believe USYD calls it squeeze law. What a funny name though :)

My sig. I prefer Sandwich Principle over Squeeze Law.
