While searching for the name of Hofstadter's law ("It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law"), I ran across this article on legal self-reference and Stigler's law of eponymy ("No scientific discovery is named after its original discoverer"), which is self-referential since Stigler didn't discover it. Makes me want to go read some Douglas Hofstadter. Ahh, full circle.
