Eulogy

A fake. Wht is a fake? The Oxford dictionary defines it as nethin tht is not genuine or counterfeit. It also interestingly lists its origin as unknown. Th reason this is interesting is because tht is also a definition of fake, albeit one tht is rather out thr. Tht whose origin is unknown only cud b considered fake whn its place of origin is claimed 2 b a specific place. N evn thn, it cud only b considered fake aftr it is known tht its place of origin cannot be verified n only in th sense of its origin. In ne othr aspect it cud not be considered fake as just as a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so also somethin is only as fake as its last unverifiable claim or perhaps more allowing fr Murphy's law. Which in itself is a pretty fair Murphy's law on fakeness as a whole.
