Physics law confusion in ad copy



In this week's edition of PCWeek (Apr.1, pg76), Novell leads off an ad
touting their network management tools with the following gem:

Newton's Second Law: Systems tend toward increasing disorder.

Has anyone comprised a list of similar abuses and confusions of physics
concepts that have appeared in the name of marketing?
