The Trek UCC

Odd connections - I'm doing research for a professor for her contracts text, and I seem to recall that Star Trek has it's own version of the U.C.C.. (Sorry for the lawyer in-joke). Yes, the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition. This probably isn't a definitive list, but it's long enough and detailed enough to be close enough. So far, my favorite is Rule 162: "Even in the worst of times, someone turns a profit." In my mind, it narrowly beats out Rule 49: "Everything is worth something to somebody." Pithy statements, these.

Also, it turns out that one of my cousins is teaching law in Houston - something I found out as I was doing the aforementioned research.
