Niven's Laws
The Maximum Leader at
Naked Villainy made reference to Niven's Laws. I had forgotten about them and how good they were.
Wikipedia has the list:
Niven's laws
Niven's laws were named after science fiction author Larry Niven, who has periodically published them as "how the Universe works" as far as he can tell. Most recently rewritten on January 29, 2002 (and published in Astounding Magazine in the November 2002 issue), the rules are:
1. Never throw shit at an armed man.
2. Never stand next to someone who is throwing shit at an armed man.
3. Never fire a laser at a mirror.
4. Mother Nature doesn't care if you're having fun.
Over 20 more at the Wikipedia site. Good stuff!
