====Jules Verne's Three Laws of Automata====

A homunculus, automaton or other artificial being;

  - shall not serve a human red wine with fish.
  - must always alert a human to shortfallings in the quality of his cuisine with a mechanical cry of 'sacré bleu'.
  - shall not (through inaction) allow a human to be seen in public with mismatching gaiters and cravatte.
