2. Don’t squat with your spurs on.
3. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
4. Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup!
5. To Hell with the Prime Directive! FIRE!!!

And on and on and on and on through 170. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? (Who watches the watchers?) | |
