   You really should read that book dude.   
      
   In Exodus, right after Moses does the Ten Commandments thing he   
   adds a bunch of other rules and regs.  Here's a little something   
   from that section.   
      
   [21:24]   
   Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,   
   Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.   
      
   [24:20]   
   Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath   
   caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.
