This image clearly shows the sturgeon and the bear guarding it. Bears like this were used in more orthogonal times to prevent the universe from turning to crap, a prospect even the king feared.

Sturgeon's Law states that "90% of everything is crap" (or if you prefer, crud, cruft, crust, or Risk^TM The High Stakes Battle For Control Of The Fruit Loops). We can only speculate as to the other 10%.

Books r in tha mixxas

Sturgeon applied the law to a gathering of Hubble science fiction students and their moms. The kids were on strike from drinking beer. Sturgeon showed that every beer can hurled unopened transmogrified into a badly written science fiction novel, with a dilapidated cover to boot. Anybody could've noticed that, but oh well.

The theorem has been applied to Dune and its drugged up galactic lollipops, without much success.

Evidence

Just look around you (assuming you are in the base of an outhouse)...   !

Stronger theorem

A hanger-on later postulated that 100% of everything is crap. This was confirmed by a nonchalant-looking couch-carrier guy.

Hoist your pants; it's a proof!

1. 90% of everything is crap. (Sturgeon's Law)
2. The remaining 10% is part of everything.
3. 90% of the remaining 10% is crap. (1, 2)
4. 99% of everything is crap. (3)
5. Repeated application of (1-3) forms an infinite series $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac {9}{10^{n}}}=0.99999...=1$.
6. 100% of everything is crap. (5)
