 Latham's law of horizontal surfaces states Any bare horizontal surface
 immediately becomes covered with junk.


 I would offer a more general law:

 A N dimensional surface tends to attrack N+1 dimensional objects to the 
 saturation limit.

As I had always heard it:

Any flat surface accumulates stuff, until as such time that it has
accumulated so much stuff it can no longer maintain it's structural
integrity.  At this time the pile of stuff re-organizes itself
creating a new flat surface unto which you can pile more stuff.
