<P><B><JC>The Three(ish) Laws of Robotics
<P>
<P>All robots are programmed with three strict laws to ensure the safety and protection of mankind.
<P>
<P>Zeroth Law: The Laws of Robotics are more of a guidebook than they are rules to live by. Humans must obey the Laws of Robotics, however a robot is free to disregard them.
<P>
<P>First Law: A robot may not kill or injure a human being, or through inaction, action or bad acting, allow a human to be killed or injured.
<P>
<P>Second Law: A robot must obey orders given it by human beings unless doing so would either violate the First Law or require acting skills beyond the abilities of the robot.
<P>
<P>Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence unless the opportunity to stop any further Terminator sequels presents itself.
<P>
<P>Fourth Law: When music is played a robot must dance by making sharp mechanical movements regardless of the fluidity of its motion capabilities unless if doing so would violate any of the previous laws.
<P>
<P>If Then Law: IF Cyber vs. Humans war THEN load Sun MicroSunTzu.
<P>
<P>Jude Law: A robot programmed to be the perfect lover, built specifically to serve the romantic needs of lonely women must help robot children and go with them on quests no matter how creepy or wholly inappropriate such a situation may seem.
<P>
<P>Robocops Enforcement Law: Asimov is a lawful brainbot on drugs; any clunkety clunk apprehension walk and talk around him is protected by the law of funny walks, but not by the laws of funny talks.
<P>
<P>The Special Law: Robots MAY harm a human, if he poses a direct threat to another human, but must then explode, taking care not to kill or harm more humans in the process, if this is done, the pieces must explode into smaller ones, and so on until it gets bored.
