According to the "Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins," the phrase is based on U.S. Weather Service terminology. This theory holds that cloud types are numbered, and that "cloud nine" is the designation given to "cumulonimbus" clouds, the highest-flying clouds around, making them an apt metaphor for being "on top of the world." So basically you're happy!

I don't know about Holy/Sweet Scott, but the expression 'Great Scott!'
That's the one, not Sweet/Holy. My bad. I'll let someone else take your question, I don't know it.

Murphys law:
"It was named after Capt. Edward A. Murphy, an engineer working on Air Force Project MX981, (a project) designed to see how much sudden deceleration a person can stand in a crash.
One day, after finding that a transducer was wired wrong, he cursed the technician responsible and said, "If there is any way to do it wrong, he'll find it.
... said that their good safety record on the project was due to a firm belief in Murphy's Law and in the necessity to try and circumvent it"
The contractor's project manager kept a list of "laws" and added this one, which he called Murphy's Law."
source
edit: to be clear, the ideas of murphys law have been around for a very long time, but this incedent is why it is associated with the name Murphy.
