I added Brooks' law to the related list. I wouldn't want this appendix to become a long list of xxxx's law, but Brooks' law directly deals with late projects becoming later, which is a related theme to Hofstadter's law.

This article is, with the exception of the quoted line, word-for-word identical to Dictionary.com's entry for Hofstadter's law. It needs to be rewritten.--[[User:An Enormous Laser Beam|An Enormous Laser Beam]] ([[User talk:An Enormous Laser Beam|talk]]) 18:34, 10 July 2009 (UTC) |

What exactly Hofstadter's law states is not in the article. I came to wikipedia trying to find out what it is, and I'm still just as confused. Someone who knows what Hofstadter's law is needs to add that in.--[[User:An Enormous Laser Beam|An Enormous Laser Beam]] ([[User talk:An Enormous Laser Beam|talk]]) 18:34, 10 July 2009 (UTC) |

Im confused. I expected it would take 10-15 minutes for me to write something about this seemingly erratic "law" but I'm done now. 2 minutes. So.... uhm?
Just because you have a fucked up last name that sounds german/professorish maybe you shouldnt make up stupid laws that dont make sense?
Oh and substantional isnt in the actual law. It just says "it". Mmm?
this guy is well known and for real, and a lot of people really really like GEB his famous book. however, the article is pompous and so poorly written that it comes off as total crap. this needs to be completely rewritten 131.247.152.4 20:19, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
FaCade (Fuh-SAWED) spelled the French way with the cedille? Maybe in French, but in English we don't have that letter. Facade as it appears in English should always be spelled "Facade".
I added Brooks' law to the related list. I wouldn't want this appendix to become a long list of xxxx's law, but Brooks' law directly deals with late projects becoming later, which is a related theme to Hofstadter's law.
