It's more of an observation. Godwins law is like a 'law' of physics. When two planets crash into each other no one 'invokes' the law.

*sigh* We clearly= need to fix Wikipedia - you cannot 'invoke' Godwins law.  It's more o= f an observation.  Godwins law is like a 'law' of physics.  When = two planets crash into each other no one 'invokes' the law.  It's two = natural forces, beyond the control of any one person interacting.  He = was merely noting the nature of the universe, not creating a new piece of I= ntar-web legislation.

So, apart from me pretending to be bent out of shape, that is all t= rue.  Thus, =B4invoking' Godwins law is like saying, 'Ahh, the water i= s 100C, I invoke boiling!'.  Saying something had no perceivable effec= t on the situation.
